I saw Dr. Callan for years and kept telling myself to find a new doctor. The hassle of finding a new doctor always just kept me going back to her but I no longer see her. She never remembered anything about me when I saw her. She always asked if I was still teaching even though I had left that job a long time ago. She was judgemental to my lifestyle as a sexually active single woman. I think she is very conservative and tries to influence her viewpoint on you. I experienced her as very judgemental. She would try to counsel me. She was judgemental of my choice to terminate a pregnancy a few years ago. Didn't refer me to anyone to help because she did not perform that procedure. When I did get pregnant and was going through some difficultie with the pregnancy I found her not very informative. I usually left the office confused. I miscarried my baby and during my follow up I found her being judgemental once again.I need a doctor who will take care of me, not judge me.

I have used Dr. Callan for many years and think she is a lovely person. However, I agree with the other rater, and had a similar experience regarding poor communication. Dr. Callan had even confused me with another patient and was not on top of the issue, when discussing my problem on the telephone. Then I felt she was jumping the gun and overcompensating by suggesting a more invasive test than was necessary. I found myself doing my own research and suggesting a sonogram instead to rule out any problems. So I never had the more invasive test, I'm still fine, but I've completely lost confidence and am looking for a new doctor.

I absolutely love Dr. Callan. After moving to LI I had a tough time finding an OB GYN that I liked. I went to 3 other doctors before someone on a website I use (LIFamilies.com) recommended her. I was so impressed at how much time she took getting to know me and addressing my questions about starting a family. The most time any other Dr. spent talking with me was like 10 minutes tops. Dr. Callan actually sat with me in her office for nearly an hour. I would highly recommend her!

DR. CALLAN'S KNOWLEDGE & EXPERTISE: When I went in for my appt Dr. Callan informed me that I would miscarry at 5 wks because my baby had stopped "growing". I then took an in office test to read my hormonal levels. She informed me that she would call me with the results in a few days. In the meantime, I didn't miscarry. No spotting or anything. I finally got the call. Dr. Callan said to me over the phone that my hormonal levels were at 50, and this is why I would definitely miscarry. I then went to see her a wk later. This is when she informed me that she made a mistake and that my hormonal levels were at 3780, not 50 and that my baby was perfectly healthy. If she can't read a simple number off of a sheet of paper, what qualifies her to deliver a baby? She should have been more thorough when analyzing her patients data, especially in a case like this where it seemed strange that my healthy baby had "stopped" growing. Please go elsewhere for efficient, and knowledgeable health care.

This Dr. is very nice, but in my opinion accepts far too many patients. I was told by her receptionist that she is normally overbooked every day. I waited 3.5 months for an appt and when i had to reschedule was told it would be another 3-4 months. This doctor is not worth waiting 6 months for. Unfortunately some doctors are all about quantity of patients, not quality of care.

Hands down the best Dr. I have ever had. She helped me through some difficult problems and a hysterectomy. Kowledgeable, but willing to admit she has more to learn and do the research, never talks down, and a warm, gentle presence.
