A family doctor has denied all charges of indecently assaulting 14 male patients at the start of a trial in the Christchurch District Court on Monday.

Rakesh Chawdhry, 62, is accused of assaulting the men, aged between 21and 38 years old, while working at a clinic from 2011 to 2015.

The judge-alone trial is expected to be held in closed sessions for the first two weeks, while the complainants give their evidence.

The trial is set down for a month.
