About
Dr Kim Latendresse is an orthopaedic surgeon with internationally recognised expertise in hand, wrist, and elbow conditions. With over two decades of experience, he is well-known across South East Queensland for his exceptional skills and dedication to providing best-in-class patient care. Dr Latendresse's extensive training includes completing advanced hand and upper extremity fellowships in Canada and Australia. Before settling to the Sunshine Coast in 2006, he served as a staff surgeon at one of Canada’s busiest trauma hospitals.
