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.

Great in the beginning
Visit was short and precise. Staff were very friendly. Dr Callahan knew what was wrong as soon as I said Plantar Fasciitis. Let’s do what always work. Stretching exercises which I had been doing for over a year but not with same intensity as he prescribed. He made a follow up appt for one month but stated that i probably would not need it. Well I will not be going back because those exercises made it worst. I called after 10 days and stated that and asked what was next. I never got a call back. This morning one week later I called and canceled the followup appt. I will not be going back

The worst, coldest, inconsiderate non caring Doctor I've ever seen!!!!!! Hope my $40 copay made him happy because I'm not. Went in having pain and he made sure I left with the same pain. Callahan forgot his oath to care for patients!!!!!!!!

After a horrible car accident, I had the pleasure of putting my care in the hands of Dr. James Callahan who performed my surgery as well as my post-op care. He is very attentive and thorough with my care. He takes the time to listen and answer all of my questions and concerns. His nurse is very professional, caring, and gentle, and was able to remove my stitches with ease. They work very well together.
