About of Anthony M. Sammel

Anthony M. Sammel is a Rheumatologist based in Randwick, NSW 2031. He looks after people with long-term inflammatory and immune-related conditions. These can affect joints, blood vessels, and sometimes the eyes too. It’s the sort of care that often needs patience, clear plans, and follow-ups over time.


In day-to-day practice, Anthony focuses on conditions like giant cell arteritis (GCA) and temporal arteritis. He also helps with juvenile temporal arteritis. These illnesses can be serious, especially when they involve blood vessels and the eye area. He also treats different forms of vasculitis, along with problems such as Takayasu arteritis.


Anthony’s work extends beyond blood vessels and big inflammation. He cares for people with arthritis and related conditions such as synovitis. Some patients also come in with eye inflammation, including episcleritis and scleritis, and other eye-related inflammation like uveitis. At times, conditions such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis can show up in more than one body system, so care often needs to be coordinated.


When it comes to experience, Anthony is used to managing the ups and downs that can come with these conditions. Many people have flares and quieter periods, and treatment can change as symptoms and test results evolve. Good communication matters here. You want someone who listens, explains things in plain language, and helps you keep an eye on what’s changing.


Education details aren’t listed here, but as a rheumatologist he has completed the usual medical training and then moved into specialist rheumatology work. Clinical trials information also isn’t provided here, so there’s no specific study involvement listed. What he does bring is a steady focus on safe, practical treatment choices for inflammatory disease, with an eye on preventing complications when they’re at risk.
