Dr. Michael Caluda III, MD

I love everything about Dr.Caluda

It is not often you meet a surgeon who is kind and compassionate. I do not like to go to the doctor. It stresses me out for many reasons. I am thankful for a doctor like him who has your best interests at heart.

Dr Caluda denied cancer, despite pathology report. Then finally did surgery almost missing tumor marked by wire hanging out (0.4mm margin!). Cancer came back. Does not want patient involvement. Very, very fragile ego. NOT recommend!!!!

Very fragile ego for a surgeon. Responds poorly to questions. Denied pathology results to delay surgery. Then cancer came back.

Total thyroidectomy. Dr. Caluda took the time to answer all my questions and discussed all aspects of the surgery and after care. He takes the time needed to make sure you get the care needed. Trustworthy! I would highly recommend Dr. Caluda.

Dr Caluda preformed a lumpectomy and lymph node removal on me. I was told he was the best in the area. He told me beforehand that my being a smoker could cause infection issues. I asked for patch or something to help me stop which he would not prescribe. I was able to quit for only 4 days. When I went for 1 week post check, I did not like how my breast incision looked and he blamed it on smoking although the lymph incision healed perfectly. I had no fever no redness no oozing no signs of infection at all but the incision was a quarter inch wide opening. He said it would be fine it was just taking too long because I started smoking again. 2 days later I ended up with ringworm one inch away from my incision.I got Immediate Care from another doctor when I realized what it was. One week later I had to go see dr. Caluda again check for the healing. At that time he suggested that I go back through surgery for him to repair it. That is when I refused to go to him anymore.

Dr.Caluda did gallbladder surgery on my husband. He was very caring and took the time to explain everything to not only my husband but to me. He gave me all the time that I needed to to get all my questions answered. He was thorough yet took care to provide wonderful pain relief. His entire staff worked to make sure everything was handled effectively and efficiently. Total confidence with this surgeon!

He operated on my breast. Nicest man ever.

I met with 3 General Surgeons before I felt comfortable enough choosing Dr. Caluda. I was extremely anxious and nervous about this whole process and after first meeting with him, he put all my worries aside. I understand how busy Doctors are and how rushed they seem however, what separated Dr. Caluda from rest was that he took the time to answer my questions and acted like he truly was there to help me, the patient. I highly recommend him for any procedure!

Dr Caluda did a wonderful job explaining the procedure, answering my questions, and putting me at ease during the initial visit and right before the surgery. I had very little bruising after the surgery and was almost healed by the time of my follow up. Excellent surgeon! I'd be happy to recommend him to anyone. I'd also like to mention his professional, caring staff.

Dr Caluda is a great surgeon........ Thanks to his OR staff...Pam, Rhonda, Winter,Stacy and Eva my out patient surgery was so much less stressful. I would recommend Dr. Caluda III and the nurses listed above at Sacred Heart Hospital to family and friends. Wait time and thoroughness, a key ingredient to a successful procedure. Thanks Everyone

This is the best general surgeon in this region, bar none. For the conditions that he treats, there are no equals in this area.

Great bedside manner. Explained everything. I was scared to have surgery,but he was great and put me at ease. Smallest incisions, gallbladder out, no complications. Highly recommend this doc.

medical knowledge, surgical skill and compassion. I would trust Dr. Caluda with any surgery I needed... no ifs, ands or buts.

Dr Caluda removed half of my thyroid. Total time for procedure was just over one hour. He is exceptional. Almost no post op pain and he does ensure that all your needs are answered. He does not, unless circumstances dictate, make hospital visits but does answer all nurse calls and ensures your discharge documents contain any and all requirements for follow ups or med requirements. He makes sure you get the best care. Need a friend, make one. If you want the best surgeon, see Dr Caluda.

Dr. Caluda performed my thyroid removal surgery. He was over an hour late for the surgery, did not prescribe thyroid medication during my hospital stay and did not show up for rounds the next morning. The follow up care from Dr. Caluda and his staff has also been disappointing. He does not listen to his patients and his nurse does not return calls.

Very Knowledgeable and friendly. Caring and easy to take to.
