I’m from Adelaide and had Dr Jim Kollias as my surgeon - he was first class and the consultant Breast Screen uses down here .He is a calm and compassionate human being highly recommend.He practices both privately at St Andrews and publicly at the Royal Adelaide Hospital .Also hear Dr Melissa Bochner who he trained is excellent.Small tip radiotherapy is same whether public or private but private can have heavy excess - my 16 round was $2000 excess .With benefit of hindsight I’d be a private patient at a public hospital so I could have the surgeon of my choice and have my radiotherapy done publicly. Ie you can combine public and private.
