He's rude, incompetent and hoards records. Do not recommend.

I went with my mother to see him about getting her hip replaced and he accused her of being a liar and "unreasonable" several times for following her own PCP's advice that conflicted with his. He told my mother if he believes she's lying, he will perform unnecessary blood tests to verify his suspicions. Perhaps he's a great doctor to patients when they're not on Medicaid, but he was unkind, condescending, and disrespectful to my elderly mother. WOULD RATHER HAVE ANYONE ELSE.

Dr. Caldwell and his staff are very nice, but I currently just found out that my acl is not repaired at all and the surgeon I talked to called it a "surgeons error" so I am going to have to get my SECOND ACL surgery in a year. Not impressed and I do not recommend.

Seeing as I can't use the knee that the doctor fixed and have to have more surgery to fix what he did. I think this man has taken to much on. Having 1700 hundred patients isn't a good thing. Would I ever use him again for surgery? NO WAY!
