Dr Eric Wegman

As a young doctor, Dr Wegman had a vision for a centre of medical excellence focusing on his chosen field of Gastroenterology, supplemented by a range of supporting medical practitioners, and he founded The Newland Street Specialist Centre in 1992. The Centre incorporates The Sydney Clinic for Gastrointestinal Diseases & The Sydney Clinic for Ocular Diseases and Disorders. The Centre has maintained a strong commitment to the local community and beyond, providing high quality, patient centred care in a safe and relaxed environment.

Dr Wegman continues to be the proprietor, Chief Executive and driving force behind the Centre which continues to grow and flourish.
