Dr. Erick Calderon, MD

He demonstrates no compassion or empathy, and lacks patience and respect, making it extremely difficult to communicate effectively. When questions are asked, he becomes annoyed and responds with a sarcastic tone.

The worst experience I have had with a doctor in my life. His arrogance and condescension was stunning. He doesn't listen at all and he bullies his patients to try to show he is the smartest person in the room. He doesn't accept questions or any input. He actually said to me after a question, 'So, now you're a board certified cardiologist?' I won't ever go back to this guy. STAY AWAY!!!

This man walked in the room didn't listen, was condescending rude and has very very bad breath. he decided that all my other health issues we not correct, Like I didn't come in to see a cardiologist to be told 40 years of other health issues were wrong & just because he has never heard of PCS pelvic congestion syndrome does not mean it isn't a medical issue. I had to tell I didn't come here to defend myself or my other physicians. He screeched at me & mocked me when I told him some of my symptoms. He was demeaning, rude, argumentative, condescending.I would not recommend him as a physician to my dog let alone a humanworst man calling himself a cardiologist

The Doctor was very condescending when I asked why I was tired all the time and why I was so short of breath after a stent. Be aware the cath lab he uses cannot be used for the insertion of stents. This causes a double procedure if a stent is required. I believe this doubles the risk of complications. I advise a second opinion before beginning a regimen with him.

I was originally treated by Dr Calderon because a high calcium score. He saw me immediately, and provided thorough, and extensive testing which resulted in him placing a stent in one of my coronary arteries. I was very happy with the way i was treated by him and every single person on his team of professionals. I was always able to communicate with him to get my questions answered, even if he had to personally call me on the phone. I recommend him highly.

Dr. Calderon is a fine cardiologist. He is thorough and explains his diagnosis/treatment fully. Although this does not interfere with his care, he could improve his listening skills.

Dr. Calderon provided excellent care for my first time visit to a cardiologist. He’s very knowledgeable and seems very interested in what you have to say.

Tends to over prescribe blood pressure medicine and statins. Otherwise for emergency services, does a good job. Does not explain why a certain drug is good. Just insists he is right.

He is God gifted in his sincere commitment to cardiovascular health.

I decided it was time for a general cardiac exam and was very satisfied with Dr. Calderon and his office and staff. The experience was professional and comforting and reassuring. Luckily I am in good cardiac shape. I would definitely recommend him to others.

A wonderful doctor, I was treated for years by Manatee County Rural health 1998 - 2010 - i must have been put on every kind of blood pressure medication ever made & still had terrible high blood pressure.. I came to him and was taken off many medications and put on only 2 - my BP has been perfect ever since. He gave me many tests to evaluate my health & I am much healthier for changing to him. I feel 10 yrs. younger and at 69 I passed a stress test with flying colors.

An amazingly well qualified physician. He saved my life. He is knowledgeable, courteous and patient. I was so very fortunate to have discovered him when I had my heart block in December of 2015. His staff is also first class.

He has preformed two stint procedures with out complications. Always looking out for me even when I'm not.
