Dr Amanda Hor
Dr. Amanda Hor graduated from the University of Manchester, UK, where she earned her Bachelors of Medicine and Bachelors of Surgery degrees before relocating to Sydney in 2010 following a tenure in the NHS UK. Her journey in medicine continued with basic physician training at St Vincent’s Hospital and advanced training in Endocrinology at Blacktown, St George, and Westmead Hospitals. She is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
She has an interest in all forms of Endocrinology, including lipoedema, obesity and weight management, polycystic ovarian syndrome, metabolic syndrome, diabetes (type 2, gestational, monogenic), thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and adrenal disorders.
Recipient of the UNSW Post Graduate scholarship, Dr. Hor recently completed her PhD in Endocrinology at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and St Vincent’s Hospital. Her research delves into the impact of long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists on gastric emptying, appetite and weight in Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic obesity disorder. Dr. Hor’s contributions extend beyond academia as she led and was part of numerous hospital-based research endeavours, including pioneering initiatives such as HbA1c screening in Emergency Departments for early diabetes detection, examination of glycemic profile in patients with dexamethasone-induced hyperglycemia during COVID-19 and establishing the Virtual Diabetes Inpatient Management Service during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As an accredited Endocrinologist at the Mater Hospital and North Shore Private Hospitals, Dr. Hor remains deeply committed to her patient’s well-being, ensuring personalized care during hospital admissions.
She is a member of the Endocrine Society of Australia, Endocrine Society (an International organization), Australian Diabetes Society, Australian and New Zealand Society of Bone and Mineral Disorders.
Dr. Hor is dedicated to ensuring her patients benefit from the most recent advances in endocrine treatment as she regularly participates in national and international conferences to remain at the forefront of medical innovation. Dr. Hor has been invited to speak at both national and international Endocrine and Prader-Willi conferences and her PhD research has been presented at both the US Endocrine Society meeting and the International Prader-Willi Organisation meeting in Cuba. Multiple publications that enrich the medical community’s knowledge base resulted from the projects she undertook during her advanced training and PhD studies.
While embracing the usual chaos of having 3 young children, Dr Hor enjoys Pilates, cooking, baking, exploring the world through travel and most recently has learnt to snowboard.
Dr. Hor is fluent in English, Cantonese, and Malay, complemented by her in-depth understanding of the cultural differences and with a profound commitment to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care. Dr. Hor empowers her patients to actively participate in their health journey, striving to achieve optimal outcomes through collaborative decision-making.
