Sydney-based doctor and health-tech entrepreneur building at the intersection of clinical medicine, technology, and patient access.

About
Dr Robert Laidlaw is a Sydney-based medical doctor with a career spanning neurosurgical training, emergency department medicine, cosmetic injectables, longevity medicine, and medicinal cannabis. His clinical breadth gives him a rare perspective — one that connects deep surgical precision with patient-facing care across multiple disciplines.
Beyond the clinic, Rob is a health-tech entrepreneur. He founded Claims Doctor to make WorkCover and CTP medical certificates accessible via same-day telehealth across NSW — removing barriers that kept injured workers waiting weeks for appointments.
Rob writes and speaks on clinical governance, AI in healthcare, and the future of digital health. He’s a systematic thinker who designs frameworks before executing, and he believes that technology — applied with clinical rigour — has the power to make healthcare more accessible, more efficient, and more human.
