Dr. Clea Ruth Caldwell, DO

Check out dollars for doctors at propublica.org to see how much money she has taken from pharmaceutical companies. Dismissive to patient concerns and pushes unsafe and unresearched options to her patients. If your body doesn't agree with it, she is then dismissive of your concerns. tried communicating with her time and time again and thankfully found a wonderful doctor last year. He was horrified I had a device put in without the proper tests prior to placement. What a horrific experience to go through.

After telling many patients essure was safe, she clearly dismissed truly educating her patients on risks. Now that bayer is pulling this off the market, I sure hope she has stopped promoting this as a wonder option for her patients who put their trust in her. She told me I didn't need to worry about being tested for a nickel allergy. Turns out it's a black box warning on the product. Please educate yourself before blindly following doctors who get paid by bayer to use their faulty garbage in women. Watch the bleeding edge on netflix and please dont allow doctors to insert foreign objevts in you. Caldwell was down right dismissive to my inquires on my reaction to the nickel allergy. Beware!!

RUN do not walk away from this doctor.

Unprofessional and dismissive of my opinions and concerns. When I asked her to read an article regarding possible negative effects of ultrasounds, she stated "I have no time to read this". When I expressed desire to have a natural labor, she stated "there is nothing natural about your pregnancy" referring to my having IVF. OB kept on pressuring me to have an induction despite positive non stress tests and my desire to just monitor, making the last month of my pregnancy very stressful. OB kept scaring me with talk of stillbirth due to increased risk of placental insufficiency when going past 37 wks, but was unable to give me numbers for what the risk would be. I am an RN and doing my own research learned that the absolute risk is actually quite small. OB completely overlooking my concerns regarding induction and unwilling to speak about the very real risks associated with it such as fetal distress, meconium aspiration, increased likelihood of c-section, hemorrhage, uterine rapture,… amniotic fluid embolism, fetal and maternal death. OB suggested I look for another provider at 41wks, which was quite stressful for me. I found another provided and had a healthy 8lb 6oz baby girl at 42 wks 4 days with apgar scores of 8 and 9, and a perfectly fine placenta and cord.

Two high risk pregnancies.she is a wonderful Doctor.I will never see another.saved my life

This doctor is the most amazing doctor I've ever met. I would recommend her to all of my family, friends, and people I meet on te street. She spent 45 minutes in the exam room talking with me! 45 minutes when most doctors won't even spend 5 minutes with you. She listens, she cares. I have spent two years trying to find a doctor that was willing to help me with endometriosis. My Obgyn that delivered my children blew me off and sent me on my way with birth control that didn't help. I told dr Caldwell about how I hated birth control, about all the side effects I have and immediately she knew what I was talking about and switched it to progesterone only... 2 years and 4 different doctors that I told the same thing... 5 minutes with her my constant throwing up from birth control is finally gone. She listened, she heard about where I hurt, how often and the things that make it worse. All of the other doctors blew me off because I had one ultrasound that the ultrasound tech messed up. I… questioned the other doctors and said surely one ovary four times as big as the other in the exact spot that was hurting me wasn't normal. Dr Caldwell, she listened to my symptoms and decided to do an ultrasound herself. She found the giant cysts that I have been complaining about for over a year, the last ultrasound missed it, my ovary looked like bladder and my uterus was out of place. Not one other doctor cared enough to figure it out. Her office is quick to get back to me and they have pushed the insurance to authorize surgery immediately when normally it would take a while. She is amazing. I have never met another doctor like her. She does not have the same attitude as the others, she is caring, compassionate, and extremely smart. She has changed my world forever. She really took time to answer all my questions and explain how we could treat my endometriosis and what I wanted to do. She is very knowledgeable in this area where many obgyns are not. She has changed my life in the best way possible. I highly recommend her and wish her the best.
