Meet Dr. Gilles Laur
Gilles is a dedicated medical practitioner with a passion for his craft.
He started his journey in the Caribbean Islands, moving to France at age 7.
He grew up in southern France, near Spain, and attended the University of Montpellier for medical school.
He worked hard and creatively, starting a health TV show and radio programs for students and teachers.
He also hosted big sporting events on the French Riviera, attracting thousands of participants.
Gilles is an amazing example of dedication to medicine.
Studying at the University of Reims, Gilles showed his commitment to healthcare.
Reims is famous for its history and Champagne production, and Gilles got a great education there.
He specialised in General Practice and worked in various fields, including stroke management and emergency services.
He even turned down a Board of Hospital position to move to Australia.
After his Doctorate of Medicine, Gilles faced new challenges in rural France, managing aged care and a hospital.
He was well-prepared for his next steps.
In Australia, Gilles gained experience in skin cancer and surgical management.
He wanted to help patients with swollen legs and varicose veins, so he studied advanced techniques.
With the help of doctors Anne Padburry, Lisa Marks, and Paul Hannah, Gilles became a Phlebologist after five years of study.
Today, he offers safe treatments for vein disorders.
Dr Gilles Laur focuses on a holistic approach to medicine, considering clinical, biological, psychological, and social factors.
His motto is “be the care you want for yourself and your family”.
Instead of resting on his laurels, Dr. Laur has taken three Masters courses to improve his skills.
He believes in continuous learning for better patient care.
Outside medicine, Dr Laur enjoys jazz music, painting, and martial arts.
He was a skilled boxer and Judo competitor, even teaching in France’s military.
Now living in Gold Coast, Dr Laur finds peace in the ocean and sunshine.
He also explores philosophy, studying epistemology, ethics, and truth.
