Dr Luke Katahanas
MBBS (QLD) FRACGPMEMBER - AUSTRALASIAN SLEEP ASSOCIATIONADVANCED CERTIFICATE OF SKIN CANCER SURGERY
Dr Katahanas has been a partner at Capalaba Medical Centre since 1988, and has over 30 years of General Practice experience. He graduated from the University of Queensland in 1986, and attained his Fellowship in General Practice in 1996.
He’s been involved in clinical teaching and General Practice training at Capalaba Medical Centre for most of his practicing career, and enjoys challenging cases with complex symptoms.
After further education & training, he now also provides a comprehensive Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Consultation service through the Capalaba Medical Centre Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Clinic.
“Maintaining a current knowledge base not only provides professional stimulation, but it helps our patients access the most recent information & treatments. A doctor’s journey is not only one of service, but it’s also a continual learning curve. Medicine is too vast for any doctor to ever stop learning, and I’ll still be learning throughout my practising career. This has allowed me to acquire a comprehensive list of clinical skills that benefit my patients daily, and helps them avoid expensive specialist referrals"
