Dr Sam Lindsay studied medicine at Tuks, completing her MBChB in 2002. After her internship, she spent 17 years living in Rustenburg. There she worked for five years in public health, before transitioning to private GP practice, where she also assisted in surgery, and worked in procedural sedation and pain management, obtaining post-graduate certification in this area. During this time, she married her wonderful husband, Sean, and had three gorgeous children: Chris, Kay-Anne and Jono.

In December 2020 – just before the beaches were closed in the second Covid wave – Dr Lindsay and her family made the KZN Midlands their new home. Upon arrival, she briefly worked at the Ketamine Clinic and Taylor’s Halt government clinic before finding her place in several local practices on a part-time basis. Presently, she is at HMDC for half-days, on Mondays to Thursdays.

Dr Lindsay’s philosophy centres on holistic patient care, addressing not only physical ailments but also nurturing mental and emotional well-being. Currently pursuing a Masters in Integrative Medicine, she plans to further enrich her practice offerings with a focus on functional medicine in the near future.

When she’s not at work, you will find Dr Lindsay busy connecting with her family and friends, reading or doing something musical. Actually, you’ll probably hear her singing or whistling to herself while she’s at work too! She also volunteers helping the Laddsworth Primary School Senior Choir and is involved in the 1st Hilton Cubs and Scouts Group.
