Dr Leah Strauch

General Practitioner

  • Profile

GP registrar

Originally from Melbourne, Leah has a Bachelor of Civil Engineering and a Master of Environment, working as an engineer for a decade before making the switch to medicine. She and her wife transplanted themselves to Adelaide so that she could complete her medical degree at Flinders University, from which she graduated in 2019. She has since worked at Flinders Medical Centre, Noarlunga Hospital, and in GP clinics in Strathalbyn and O’Halloran Hill.
Leah enjoys the variety of GP, and finds that her engineering background supports her pragmatic approach to problem solving and collaborative medicine. She has undertaken further training in paediatric medicine, and particularly enjoys seeing her littlest patients for both their ‘well’ and ‘unwell’ appointments. She has a keen interest in sexual health and reproductive medicine, and performs implanon insertion and removal. She also has an interest in gender-affirming healthcare and queer health in general.
When not in clinic Leah’s time is currently fully occupied by her young family – twin toddlers have currently taken priority over hobbies but she hopes to get back to a bit more variety in the next few years.

Patient Complaints

We are committed to providing high-quality care and ensuring all patients are treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. If you are unhappy with any aspect of your care or experience at our practice, we encourage you to raise your concerns so we can respond promptly and appropriately.

In the first instance, we recommend speaking directly with your treating doctor or a member of our reception team. You may also request to speak with the Practice Manager, who will assist in reviewing and resolving your concern.

If you feel your complaint has not been resolved, or you would prefer to raise it externally, you may contact the Health and Community Services Complaints Commissioner (HCSCC), an independent organisation that handles complaints about health service providers in South Australia.

All complaints are treated confidentially and respectfully. Raising a concern will not affect your ongoing care. We value your feedback and use it to continually improve our services and patient experience.
