Anesthetist
Dr. Arnaud Potié, a board-certified specialist physician (FMH), practices as an anesthesiologist in Lausanne and throughout French-speaking Switzerland. Originally from Belgium, Dr. Potié completed his medical studies and anesthesiology residency at the University of Brussels.

He worked for three years as a senior anesthesiologist at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), primarily in the fields of orthopedic and neuro-ENT anesthesia. During this time, he published several scientific articles in these clinical specialties.
In 2022, Dr. Arnaud Potié opened his independent medical practice in French-speaking Switzerland and is accredited in several medical facilities and centers. His approach is centered on personalized patient care, integrating modern concepts of anesthesia as well as the principles of therapeutic hypnosis.
