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.

Compassion
Dr. Caballero is very open-minded in working with the patient to find the best treatment options as far as which medications the patient can best tolerate to treat the condition. He understands that the patient knows better than anyone what does/does not work for them and he tries to establish a treatment plan that includes his knowledge of medicine along with how the patient might respond to it based on the information that is given.

I've been a patient of Dr. Caballero for almost a decade. With my rare condition, he has done an outstanding job treating me when other neurologists have not done as well. I have followed him from Alabaster to Brookwood to Tuscaloosa and back to Birmingham. I will continue to follow Dr. Caballero wherever his practice may take him!

On my first visit I found that the staff and Dr. Caballero are so compassionate in regards to patients and their needs. I have been struggling with head issues for almost a year that caused me to appear not to be in my right mind. I had been misdiagnosed by another doctor and decided to take matters in my own hands. Through research and divine intervention, I found Dr. C. God Bless him. He knew exactly what was wrong and did some diagnostic tests to make sure that I didn’t have a seizure or stroke and thank God I didn’t. I am on a treatment plan now and am back to myself. Dr. Caballero,I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for you actually listening to me and focusing on my issues. I would recommend you to everyone I know.

Doctor Caballero is caring. His billers are not. Dr.Caballero's office owes me for 3 copays I should not have been forced to pay upfront in order to be seen. No co-pay no visit It's also a copay based before Medicare adjusts the bill, so hopefully you get a refund 3 months later for your overpaid copay. Main issue: Doctors are not supposed to charge QMB patients a copay. But it's like talking to a brick wall with his billers. They contend they do not accept Medicaid, WHICH I DO NOT HAVE,The Doctor is fine, billing not knowledgeable on Medicare law.

Great bedside manner,very informative and compassionate about what he does. I have been having balance issues blurred vision headaches and falling for months without resolution., I've had various test and no doctor ever thought to do an MRI. This doctor took the time to go over all the test results and diagnosed me with MS. This now explains all my symptoms. He has guided me step by step and began prompt treatment. For that I'm very thankful. His services are highly recommended. LaShonda Webb

I have been seeing Dr. Caballero for many years. He is the best Neurologist in the state of Alabama! He listens to all your concerns, fears and needs. His understanding nature for us patients is his utmost priority! You let him know what is hurting you, not the other way around (like most doctors). The gentle way he responses to you, is very comfortable as he seeks the BEST care for you. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Caballero to everyone who is seeking a caring, kind, knowledgeable Neurologist.

I have been treated my Dr. Caballero for over 10 years. Each time he moves to a different building, I am willing to go where he is. My personal chauffeur, my husband, doesn't mind driving me no matter how far because he knows how great Dr. Caballero is as a doctor. He is very caring and attentive. He takes the time to listen and has my best interest at heart.

After my car accident Dr Caballero listened and looked at me as a patient/person, not a chart ( and if you’ve really ever been sick, that’s what matters ) and proactively worked with me. He gide us and help us during this hard time, his treatment was excellent and everything was beyond my expectations. Wonderful doctor very friendly staff.

The office manager, Olga and other staff are incompetent. I tried to receive Botox treatments in my neck for cervical dystonia and after 8 months of phone calls without replies a new assistant setup an appointment but when I arrived they didn't have the Botox even though I received a call confirming my appointment days prior. The associate too does they didn't have the Botox. Then contacted Olga, who told her I should have brought my own. Then said they sent in the prescription (lie)

He is so patient and compassionate as well as observant to what may be going on i myself might be missing. He does have a bit of an accent but never minds repeating if you didnt understand something ( i have signifigant hearing loss). I cant think of one bad thing to say about him or his s
