About of Benjamin A. Kamien

Benjamin A. Kamien is a Geneticist based in Subiaco, WA. His clinic address is 374 Bagot Rd, Subiaco WA 6008, Australia. He looks after people and families who need help making sense of genetic test results and long-term health concerns.


Genetics can be hard to understand, especially when you’re dealing with development, growth, or symptoms that come and go. In many cases, Benjamin’s work helps explain the “why” behind conditions that show up in childhood, or that get noticed after early milestones. He supports families with clear, practical guidance, without rushing things.


Common reasons people seek a geneticist can include autism spectrum concerns, learning and developmental differences, and episodes linked to epilepsy or seizures. Some families also come in where there’s microcephaly, larger head size, or other differences in growth. There are also conditions where movement and muscle control are affected, or where the brain and nervous system aren’t developing in the usual way.


He also helps where the concerns are more physical, like differences in facial shape, jaw size, hand or limb development, bone growth, or contractures. In some situations, the gut or bladder can be involved too, such as achalasia or ureterocele. At times, there are syndromes with complex features across multiple body systems, and that can take time to work through.


Over time, genetic testing has changed a lot. Benjamin focuses on using genetic information to guide next steps, such as what to watch for, what might come up later, and how to plan care. He works with families to connect test results with real-world health needs, and he can help clarify the difference between what is known, what is still being studied, and what needs follow-up.


When it’s relevant, he keeps an eye on newer findings from medical genetics research. If research studies or clinical trial options are being offered through the right channels, that can be discussed as part of the conversation, but the main aim is always to support the person and their family’s current situation.


Benjamin A. Kamien brings a solid grounding in medical genetics, with a focus on careful review of results and thoughtful care planning. If you’re not sure where to start, it’s okay to ask questions early and bring any reports you already have.
