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.

Saw him three times, asked him to familiarize himself with specialist results, but he apparently did not and mis-diagnosed, rather incorrectly re-diagnosed, condition determined by specialist tests despite not actually running any tests himself. Our last appointment he was 45 minutes late, didn’t follow up on meds, and recommended a treatment he knew we couldn’t afford (we told him repeatedly). We chose him because of recommendations but I guess he isn’t really a five star.

Dr. Callahan has been my primary care provider for over 15 years. Dr. Callahan is one of the best physicians I have ever had the opportunity to work with. He is extremely patient, kind and thorough. He listens to your issues and concerns and always addresses anything you may be experiencing. I always feel a high level of trust and care when working with him. I highly recommend Dr. Callahan.

Dr. Callahan has been fantastic for our family over the years. He is friendly, great with kids, and really takes the time to understand you and answer questions. Dr. Callahan shows a great deal of respect for his patients. Couldn't ask for anything more.
