Dr David Dowling
has been practicing high-quality primary care at the Capalaba Medical Centre for over twenty-five years.

Although you might not class him as a “wellness warrior’, Dr Dowling focuses on helping prevent illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.  He also assists patients to identify and achieve their most ambitious health goals.  He guides each patient to shape their decisions around what works best for their own unique lives and helps them change their lifestyles to reduce their risk of disease.  From managing complex illnesses to inspiring healthier lifestyles, he strives to create strong partnerships with his patients.  He takes an evidence-based approach to care, identifying patients’ health issues and monitoring the progress of their treatments.

In many respects, Dr Dowling is a life coach and ‘well-being consultant’  for his patients.  Unlike many other so called ‘well-being consultants’, Dr Dowling graduated from the University of Queensland in 1990, and obtained his fellowship to Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in 1996.  He is an accredited specialist General Practitioner who enjoys all aspects of family medicine and primary care.  With over twenty-five years of experience in treating a wide variety of primary health concerns, and chronic conditions, he understands the challenges of prioritising health in today’s busy world and the complexity of modern medicine.
