Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Calhoun has done 3 different surgeries on my hands. He explains everything so the patient understands. He is very patient and kind……a bit funny at times too!I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

Dr. Calhoun was friendly and concerned about my hand issues, just as he has always been in the past. Reception staff is efficient but not friendly, though the volume of patients coming in may account for that. Love Dr. Calhoun!!!

I'm sure he is a great surgeon BUT waited 75 minutes for them to even call me in the back then he had 3 patients in front of me. I let him know how I felt but I didn't stay for my appointment.

Fantastic doctor! Knowledgeable and spends time to explain & answer questions. Really personable which goes a long way in making a patient feel comfortable in an frightening situation. Would recommend hands down for orthopedic needs.

After receiving cortisone injections in both hands, I experienced swelling and pain(which is normal). I was not able to move my fingers enough to type and missed 3 days of work (I type 8 hrs a day). When I called to get paperwork for my job I was told the doctor would not approve time off from work. Warning if you do not have time off from work please check before having a procedure completed. I have now lost my job and do not want this to happen to another patient.
