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. Caldwell is very thorough in my care. He is also very personable and has a great bed side manner. I recommend him to all of my family and friends. He offered solutions to my problems and helped get me back on track where I needed to be.

Highly recommend!
My visit with Dr. Caldwell was exactly as a Dr,s visit should be. All my health concerns and questions were addressed and explained in a manner that I understood. I left knowing that my health mattered. I was not rushed, and his nursing staff were very caring.

Visit was to establish Dr. Caldwell as my primary care physician after seeing his NP Brandi Myers on previous visits . He went over my medical history and asked several questions and came up with solutions and answers for all my concerns. He took his time and came up with a plan for all my problems.

Schedule appointments every 30 minutes not every 15. Dr C is very personable and it would benefit his patients to not have long wait times.

Dr. Caldwell is a knowledgeable, caring physician.
Every person that I had any interaction with yesterday was pleasant and helpful. Dr. Caldwell was good to listen to me and explain my lab results. He even explained the physiology of why we were going start a new drug to head off possible complications that can accompany my health issues. He was also up to speed on my hospital stays in the last nine months even though he wasn't my attending physician. I appreciate the time he gives me and realize that he does the same for each patient.
