Lexus of Indooroopilly
Those who choose Lexus above others are definitely onto something. With its Japanese heritage, outstanding quality, reliability, and value, those who invest in the Lexus brand very rarely tend to leave. Lexus provides a one-of-a-kind upscale experience and today, the Lexus vision is simple – to create amazing experiences.
The Lexus Encore Owner Benefits Program brings this vision to light, offering an extensive suite of benefits to Lexus owners, including invitations to exclusive events, access to the Lexus On Demand program, complimentary valet parking at select shopping centres, exclusive fuel discounts, and much more. Close to home, Lexus of Indooroopilly is synonymous with style and trust.
Founded in 1999 with over 22 years of service, it’s an established business within the Brisbane community, whilst being very trusted amongst their loyal Lexus guests. Their sales team is what stands out from the rest and with Ryan Noyes at the helm, the results speak varying range of skillsets, driven by industry experience with John Spithill coming second in the nationally recognised high- performance award “Lexus Leaders Australia” in 2020. Plus, a positive percentage increase in sales throughout a tough year for all.

The new menu is served alongside local Fonzie Abbott coffee blends, which pair beautifully with each dish. Come and try the difference of Pitch & Fork and savour great good amongst friends.
The Leg Vein Doctor
Starting his career in rural medicine, Dr Kemp of The Leg Vein Doctor loved the variety of his first role. From obstetrics and anaesthetics, he fell in love with the diversity on offer. One day, he needed treatment on his own varicose veins and instantly became fascinated with phlebology. From there, he decided to specialise in the area and treat patients in a minimally invasive way.
Originally opening The Leg Vein Doctor in Toowong in 2012, Dr Kemp and his team then moved down the road to their purpose- built clinic in Auchenflower in 2014. When it comes to The Leg Vein Doctor’s patients, they range from 18 to 81. “One of the fascinating things about venous disease is that it does not discriminate,” he says. Not only that, men and women are equally affected by varicose veins, but Dr Kemp says that women tend to be more proactive in seeking treatment. Outside of the clinic, he also runs a monthly clinic in Toowoomba. “I really enjoy being able to treat country patients and hear their stories. It is a good tonic to the hustle and bustle of city life,” he says.
At the end of a treatment journey, Dr Kemp says it’s a real privilege to be able to sit down and look at their before and after photographs together. “Particularly with those who have suffered for many years with pain because they thought that nothing could be done. Sometimes, my patients will tell me they finally wore shorts to the beach after years of covering up. You cannot beat that feeling!” he says.
