Dr. Kalb operated on my ankle. An excellent surgeon! Can barely see the scars. No pain or discomfort when the weather changes. While his bedside manner was more on the dry side, he answered questions and made sure you understood. Yes, I would recommend him.

outstanding attention to detail, very thorough, acurately diagnosed and discussed my problem, provided me with all treatment options and the pros and cons of each, great use of models and anatomy pictures to explain my problem in a manner most easy to understand

I was referred to Dr Kalb for a severe compound fracture of my leg. He explained the treatment options along with the risks and benefits of each. He took all the time my wife and I needed to answer all of our many questions. After the surgery I slowly healed and returned to my job as a pipe fitter. He and his assistant completed all my papers for work. I would highly recommend him.

Does not care about patients and is only concerned with prescribing his "go to" drug Nucynta...even when you are not happy with it. Rudest staff I've EVER had to deal with. Physical therapy can only be done there, he won't recommend patients to preferred PT. Avoid!!

I believe that Dr.Kalb is a great doctor, he just did not care what happened to me or how i felt after the surgery.
