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.

Best Orthopaedic surgeon ever
Dr Calloway is retiring April 14, 2025. I’ve been his patient for 20 plus years. As I’ve gotten older I’ve seen him more frequently for arthritis in knees and shoulders. He always has a diagnosis that he shares with X-rays and then advises you on what he thinks is best treatment for area of concern. I hope his replacement will be as thorough and kind as he has been. Always has had a smile upon entering exam room and made me feel at ease.

I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Calloway who has always been great! I was turned away because I owed money and the account was sent into collections. I paid for my surgery up front on two credit cards and about two months later they sent me a bill for over $1600. I don't have that especially after charging the surgery. I had to take off work to go to this appointment and it would have been nice to know that I couldn't be seen if I didn't pay before I arrived. I understand policy but sometimes the automated system needs to be replaced with human contact. Again, this has nothing to do with the care I received from Dr. Callaway just the communication aspect of things.

Dr. Callaway is personable and very knowledgabl
Dr. Calloway explained my condition very clearly using xrays. Since surgery is not necessary at this point, he took the time to give me detailed instructions on how I could provide care myself for the discomfort, as well as taking time to identify activities in my lifestyle that I should minimize to avoid aggravating my condition.I highly recommend him.
