Katherine Samaras is an Endocrinologist based at St Vincent's Hospital in Darlinghurst, NSW, Australia.
At St Vincent's Hospital, Katherine looks after people with hormone and metabolic health issues. That can include things like obesity, metabolic syndrome, and abdominal obesity, where weight, blood sugar, and other body signals don’t quite line up like they should.
She also works with patients who have long-term conditions such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and high cholesterol. In many cases, care is about getting the basics right—steady follow-ups, practical treatment plans, and making sure people understand what changes can help over time.
Hormone problems can show up in different ways. Katherine treats conditions like hyperthyroidism, and she also manages adrenal cancer. These are situations where the body’s hormone signals can swing out of balance, and it helps to have clear, consistent medical support.
Women’s health is another important part of the mix. Katherine works with people who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and ovarian cysts. Symptoms can affect energy, cycles, skin changes, and fertility plans, so she focuses on care that fits the whole picture, not just one symptom.
Some referrals come from broader, complex health needs too. Patients may have other serious diagnoses in the background, and Katherine’s role is to make sure hormone-related issues are assessed and managed alongside the rest of their care. You might also see endocrine concerns connected with memory loss, which is why getting the cause checked matters.
The way she works is calm and straightforward. Appointments are about listening, asking the right questions, and helping you sort out what’s going on with your health. Over time, the aim is to keep treatment plans grounded and manageable, and to support patients as their needs change.
Katherine Samaras continues to practise in a hospital setting at St Vincent's Hospital, Darlinghurst, where patients can be dealing with more than one health issue at once. In those situations, having someone focus on hormones and metabolism can make a real difference.
