Dr Georgia Edwards

Dr Georgia Edwards is pleased to be able to offer a wide range of Gastroenterology services to you at Beechnut Medical Rooms.
Since her arrival in Newcastle in 2008, Dr Georgia Edwards has formed a supportive relationship with Beechnut’s founder, Dr Kate Napthali and is excited to join the specialist team in their Hamilton practice. As well as practising Gastroenterology with the Beechnut team, Georgia is also dual trained in General Medicine.

Born into a medical family, Georgia has been on track to practise medicine ever since she was a child. She recalls the fondness with which her parents and their colleagues spoke of their love of the profession and the sense of satisfaction that it brought them. Her own journey through medicine has fostered similar feelings. As a medical student at the University of Sydney (2004-2007), a placement sowed her initial seeds of interest in Gastroenterology, and Georgia’s passion was confirmed as she prepared for her Physician’s exams in 2013.
Georgia enjoys all aspects of general gastroenterology and has a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease, and women’s health in this context.

Georgia is a Conjoint Fellow with the University of Newcastle; a position which reflects her enthusiasm for medical education and allows for her to contribute to quality improvement across her field. She is happy to be contacted by medical practitioners to provide education/discussion around gastroenterology topics such as inflammatory bowel disease, luminal gastroenterology or functional GI disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or functional dyspepsia.

Georgia provides care for a range of outpatients and inpatients including patients admitted to Lake Macquarie Private Hospital via the Emergency Department there.
