Dr Calles made me realize that I had to take control of my health. We usually blame others for thing we are supposed to be doing. Blaming my spouse for food I was eating didn’t go well. Today I have better control because he told me facts that I didn’t want to hear. So, if you need empathy, he’s not you doctor, but if you want the truth, I recommend him 100%.

Dr. Calles is a wonderful doctor. He listened to my symptoms, educated me on what he was testing for and what it meant. He posted my results and contacted me by phone the same day to explain the results and the option for our next steps. I felt he encouraged me to be involved with the treatment plan. Lastly, his bedside manner is incredible. He is warm, caring and a very kind man.

After one visit with him, I knew I didn't want to be a patient of his. He appears to be sarcastic and rude.
