ABOUT OUR PRACTICE

Inner West General Practice
Summer Hill & Leichhardt, Sydney

At IWGP we offer the highest quality doctors, support staff, and facilities.  We work uniquely as a team so our patients have confidence they are seeing more than just their doctor of choice: they benefit from collective opinion.  We promote the ideal that whilst your doctor may be unavailable; you are comforted by help from any team member.

IWGP prides itself by offering many special skills amongst our medical staff, strengthening our ability to work as a team to deliver the highest quality care to our patients.  By drawing on these individual skills we are able to provide up to date, modern, appropriate, and efficient medical care to everyone in need.

We aim to provide the best that traditional medicine can offer in terms of diagnosis and treatment, whilst maintaining an open mind towards other therapies.  You will find that we use many forms of treatment, not always drugs, and that lifestyle changes are promoted as an integral part of your treatment.
