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.

'I saw Dr. Calkins today for trigger point injections for my shoulder. I told her that on previous occasions trigger point shots did not help me. Her response was that she had never given me any. I also told her that lidocaine in the shots only work for a day or 2. Why put something in your body if it doesn't work? So she did the dry shots in my right side, I said you can't do that side, workmans comp won't cover it , her response, I can put shots anywhere I want, your right shoulder is sore isn't it? yes, but that is not the point. I have never had trigger point shots hurt as bad as these did.When she got to the left side, the side she was suppose to do, she did one shot and the pain went from my head and down to my elbow. I told her I did not want anymore shots, please stop. She and her nurse went out the door before I could get turned around. I had an instant headache, and could not get my shirt on, because the pain was so bad. Never asked if i was ok or anything just poof gone... S

Dr. Calkins demonstrates case familiarity and focus from the beginning of each visit. Her listening skills are superb, and she allows time for my feedback. She researches my needs and always provides a path to investigate or perfect. She is cognizant of the whims and control that pain issues level at their victims. I always feel confident in her informed reasoning. She has a dynamic personality that at my initial visit put me at ease, and she extends her warmth and honesty to my caregiver/partner. Dr. Calkins is responsive to tears and is joyful when an approach has proven successful. She interacts with her quality staff in partnership and effectiveness. She has made inroads into my complicated state of pain causation when so many others have failed me. She is a fundamentally caring physician blessed with a detective’s brain and a compassionate soul. She makes an incredibly positive difference in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Dr Calkin is an amazing physician bringing the perfect balance of expertise and empathy. Her ‘bedside’ manner is extraordinary and her concern for her patients and what they are going through genuine. I’d trust my mother’s care in her hands. In fact, that’s who I’m writing for, my 85 year old mother in law.
