Dr. John McCallum III, MD

Very relaxed visit with no pressure to proceed with surgery.Full discussion of various options.Recommendations for preoperative rehabilitation to improve surgical outcomes.Use of prosthetics to alleviate knee discomfort.

I didn't feel rushed, questions were answered in layman terms. All staff were efficient and personable. Questions answered promptly.

From the initial visit to the preop class then the preop visit to the actual surgery the group performed seamlessly, were very professional , and the experience was terrific which is generally not a word I’d use often about medical encounters which can be scary. I feel incredibly lucky to have met and been treated by Dr McCallum and his team

I had my left knee replaced 3 months ago and consider it a positive experience. I have returned to all my previous activities, except tennis! And I will be back at my tennis game soon! The office staff, in patient staff, and home care staff, all worked flawlessly together to provide the finest care imaginable. Great job, Dr. McCallum! Thank you!

I just had my second knee replacement by Dr. McCallum and just as with my first replacement, I could not be more satisfied. I highly recommend Dr. McCallum and his staff.

Dr McCallum surgery was greatEveryone one in Midst ate Hospital was excellent the surgery was a 10 and the care Was excellent

Dr. McCallum was upfront about my concerns about my knee replacement surgery. He answered all of my many questions before and afterwards. I could not be happier with the outcome.

Very well mannered. Did my left knee about 11 years ago have had no problems with it. Explains everything to your understanding and will be doing my right knee. Wouldn’t want anyone else doing it.

my experience was very satisfactory

exceptional

From the initial examination and diagnosis through post operative visits, Dr. McCallum was very thorough. There was a considerable amount of both pre-op and post-op communications requiring some films to watch, short readings, in-person conferences, etc. Every conceivable detail was addressed. I followed instructions and it paid off. I had minimal post-operative pain from my knee replacement surgery and have had steady progress in my recovery. Compared to others I have seen, the scar from surgery is minimal. I have and would recommend Dr. McCallum to anyone considering knee replacement surgery.

Dr very nice , made me feel comfortable. Explained my options and altho I must lose weight prior to surgery on my knees I will stick with him and do my best !

I felt explanations were helpful as to surgery expectations.

I had 3 surgeries with Dr. McCallum. I am still recovering from the last surgery which was 3 years ago. It was a horrible experience. Although I did not want to throw Dr. M under the bus, people need to know how unresponsive he was. I had nerve damage and could not tolerate any material on my skin. The symptoms were similar to shingles. I also did not respond well to the drugs. He refused to take my calls. I finally wrote him a letter. No response. My right leg is sizably larger than my left leg. Although I have been through a lot of PT. I would not recommend him as a doctor or healer. He is unresponsive. His staff did not even submit the paperwork and I had to wait in the hospital while they contacted the insurance co. He took no responsibility.

From the first contact with Dr McCALLUM , to the surgery , the recovery and the final visit no more than 10 weeks in total and every step has been of very high quality with Dr McCALLUM himself and his extended team. Dr McCALLUM is a great listener and was very patient with my various questions so we could decide right away the best course for me. I sincerely appreciated his professionalism and the resulting surgery!

I am very pleased with Dr. McCallum's program from beginning to end. I tell everyone how informed I was and followed the force exercises for the best outcome. Thank to all the professionals at Mid-State. Connecticut Therapeutics was a great experience in my recovery. Thank you Dr. McCallum and all professionals involved.

He is an amazing yet kind honest doctor very honest, and he changed my life for the better. I just had a knee replacement in September and now one for my other leg and I couldn’t have asked for anyone else I trusted him with my life and I recommend him highly to whoever needs knee replacements it was a big to do for me in the beginning, and held off for a long time, but the pain became so severe. I had to do it. He’s amazing. N changed my life

I'm an 89 year old with bilateral bone on bone arthritis taking care of my seriously ill wife for more than a decade. Facing an impending inability to walk and no longer care for my wife, a friend referred me to Dr. MacCallum. Doc instilled confidence is me that he could do this part to get me back to my baseline level of activity if I committed to pre and post physical therapy. My result for the first knee replacement: after 8 weeks I have zero knee pain. Absolutely no discomfort or limitations. It's simply amazing. Our family refers to Dr MacCallum as Mr Wonderful. I am very much looking forward to my second knee replacement in a few weeks. Yes, the first few weeks are uncomfortable, but I'm soon to have my life back fully and return to more engaged care of my spouse. Forever grateful to Mr Wonderful.

From first visit to operation - follow up visits it has been so nice to be listened to and not feel rushed. The surgical team at Mid-state were top notch.

Dr. McCallum was straightforward, caring and professional. He did a great job replacing my knee and everything he said that was going to happen....did. I couldn’t be happier with him, his staff and the Midstate hospital.
