Dr. Callahan is, what I consider to be, a real old fashioned doctor who takes time to get to know you. He asks questions and really shows that he cares about you. I would recommend him to anyone. He's really good doctor and a kind man.

Dave has been my husband's and my physician for 30yrs and I dread the day he says he going to retire!!! NOBODY takes time with their patients like he does. He does not rush you or be-littles you because you have not lost weight. Dave is a very compassonate person; one who really wants to know how things are going with YOU. As a registered nurse, I have known many physicians in my time and the only physician that comes very close to Dave was my familys physician when I was a child, also known as a General Practice physician; I think they are extinct. One more thing, his office staff and nurses are some of the best and they too are caring.
