A Hunter region doctor is due to face court next week accused of indecently assaulting a female patient.

A 32-year-old woman has told police she was inappropriately touched by the doctor during three separate consultations at his practice between February 2017 and February 2018.

Following investigations police charged a 45-year-old man with 4 counts of indecent assault.

He’s expected to face Maitland Local Court next Wednesday.
