Private Hospital gynaecology care
Dr McCallum operates at Knox Private Hospital, Mitcham Private Hospital and Peninsula Private Hospital. It is usually possible to organise surgery quite promptly and as a private patient, you may be assured that your operation will be performed by Dr McCallum himself.
Public Hospital access
As well as practicing in private, Dr McCallum sees uninsured patients who may require treatment through the public system at Eastern Health and Peninsula Health. He is able to book uninsured women requiring operations onto the waiting list for surgery at these hospitals.
