ABOUT THE GATTON MEDICAL CENTRE
OUR STORY
Gatton Medical Centre has been an integral part of the Lockyer Valley community since its establishment in 1973 by Dr John Hudson. From its humble beginnings with just two General Practitioners and shared responsibilities at the local hospital, the practice has grown into a trusted centre for comprehensive, patient-centred healthcare.
Over the decades, the medical needs of the community have evolved and so has the practice. Today, Gatton Medical Centre supports patients across the Lockyer Valley, including Helidon, Hatton Vale, Esk and surrounding regions.
In 2024, the practice was acquired by Dr Bhaskar Siraparapu, continuing the long-standing tradition of quality care while introducing a renewed focus on service accessibility, clinical excellence and community wellbeing.
