I have only the best things to day about Dr. Callahan. I had my back surgery just one month ago and I feel like a young woman again. I am virtually pain free for the first time in 10 years. Thank you so much Dr. Callahan!!

He was kind. Took the time needed with my mother, while other surgeons would not even think about taking on her case. He did fabulous, surgery went great, and he showed kindness all the way.

If I could give him a rating of 10 stars I would. He is a very skilled and professional doctor who really cares about his patients. He did my husband's surgery and I can't say enough good things about him. I would recommend him to anyone with confidence.

I would recommend Dr. Callahan to anyone. He essentially saved my son's life 3 years ago. He is a brilliant, kind man. I hope to never need him again, but am certainly confident in him.
