General Medicine Specialists

Lower Hunter Medical is a specialist medical practice. Our General Physician Doctors (Internal Medicine Specialists) have evidence-based expertise in all the body systems – neurology, respiratory, cardiac, renal, musculoskeletal, endocrinology, gastroenterology, haematology, and geriatrics.

The advantage of this holistic expertise is that you are being treated as a whole person not just a specific body part. Your care is provided by one specialist who works with your GP to manage your wellbeing, with additional referral to specific specialists if needed to further enhance your care. This holistic, collaborative approach promotes continuity of your care.

Lower Hunter Medical founded in 2019, is centrally positioned in Rutherford, Maitland to provide care to patients throughout Newcastle and the Hunter Valley region.
