Review for Dr. Caldarella
Last summer I presented to Dr Caldarella's office with a very deformed ulcerated big toe. I had just returned from vacation, had worn some very bad shoes and was worried that I could lose my toe. Fast forward 8 months through wound care, healing, surgery and recovery and I have a beautiful,...

Review for Dr. Caldarella
Dr. Caldarella was able to evaluate my condition and relieve my pain with a mid foot fusion. He listens carefully and asks pertinent questions. I credit his diligent follow up post surgery with my wonderful recovery. It has been 2 years since surgery and I could not be more pleased.

Review for Dr. Caldarella
I have had so many Mohs Surgeries that it's become a weight loss regimen! Dr. Kovacs has made what could be a very unpleasant part of my life comfortable, if not pleasant. He and his team make the process light. I know what to expect from the physical healing process and it is minimal, relatively...

Review for Dr. Kovacs

Great experience with doctor Caldarella during my first mtpj (big toe) fusion to fix my hallux rigidus. Friendly and caring, he worked with me for years with steroid shots and shoe inserts to give me relief from constant pain, allowing me to hike, run, and backpack. When the joint became too...
