Adelaide breast surgeon Ho Keun Shin, who practises as Dr Peter Shin, appears in court charged with indecent filming

Burnside Hospital has cancelled operations for patients of an eastern suburbs breast surgeon after he faced court charged with indecently filming two people.

A specialist breast surgeon has appeared in court on indecent filming charges.

Ho Keun Shin, who practises as Dr Peter Shin, was arrested on Tuesday night and charged with two counts of indecent filming.

Police will allege Dr Shin, 45, of Beaumont, indecently filmed two separate victims between July 21 and August 4 at Toorak Gardens.

Dr Shin practises at the Breast and Endocrine Centre on Hewitt Ave, Toorak Gardens.

He was refused police bail and appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Courts on Wednesday.

In court, prosecutors did not oppose Shin’s release on bail, but sought a number of conditions including that he not work while on bail, or attend his workplace.

He was banned from contacting directly, or indirectly, the alleged victim of count two. The court heard the alleged victim of count one had not been identified.

Emily Cousins, for Dr Shin, said her client “would not work under the bail agreement”.

Magistrate Jack Fahey also ordered Dr Shin be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections and undertake any psychological or other counselling as directed.

According to the Breast and Endocrine Centre website, Dr Shin trained in New Zealand as a general surgeon and graduated from the School of Medicine in Auckland.

The website said he then trained for two years in breast, endocrine and melanoma surgery and has a special interest in breast oncoplastics, which he completed at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

The website says Dr Shin is also a visiting specialist at Flinders Medical Centre.

As Dr Shin left the Adelaide City Watch House he spoke briefly to waiting media.

“I can’t say too much right now. It’s very sad and shocking for a lot of people involved to my family, all my patients, my colleagues,” he said.

“We are still many weeks away from the hearing and I can’t say any more than that if you could please respect the privacy of my family that would be much appreciated.”

He returns to court in September.

Dr Shin is on the Burnside Hospital’s board of directors and has visiting rights as a specialist.

In a statement, the hospital said it is scheduling special meetings to review his position on the board and specialist visiting rights. Dr Shin’s theatre operating lists at the hospital were cancelled. He currently has no patients at the hospital.

An SA Health spokesperson said: “SA Health has been notified of the charges and will support SA Police with their investigation. We are unable to provide comment on individual employee matters or matters before the courts.”
