Dr. Santiago Calderon Perez, MD

"He came into the examining room and began to read my file. I came to him at my nephrologists suggestion. He asked, Who is your Internal meds doctor. When I told him, he became very angry and started yelling at me. He stomped around the room and told me that he would not accept me as a patient many times. He stomped out of the room and left me bewildered and feeling tearful and incredulous. I had to work at controlling my emotions on the drive home.

Has the best bed side manner

In a few words just find someone else!! The worst Dr I have ever seen and her unprofessional and unethical. He will waste your to.e and money!! There are Dr who really care about there patients..... He's not one of them!! Worst experience ever!!

Had to wait several days for Dr. to review my file that was faxed from my primary doctor to see if he would accept me as a patient. Then after filling out a bunch of forms and waiting for an hour to see the doctor the day of my appointment, he comes in and tells me he doesn't treat my problem. So I wasted 2 hours taking off from work and delaying my treatment while I wait to get into see another doctor. The test results that were faxed from my primary doctor told him exactly why I was making an appointment so there is now excuse for his office making my appointment and making me waste 2 hours of my time and delaying my medical treatment by weeks now.

I had toe surgery for osteomylitis before coming to Florida. My foot Doc in Florida found it had returned and was destroying bone. He did another toe surgery and removed the desolving bone. Then, he sent me to Dr. Caldera. After reviewing my problem and speaking to my Michigan Dr he told me I'd have to havea strong dose of antibiotivcs through a picc line. He followed through and this time the toe healed completely. He came to see me in Florida Waterman on Christmas Eve. I was discharged in time to attend Midnight Mass. He is a caring and compassionate human. His staff is super and very efficient. I wish we had someone like him up in Michigan. Truly the best at solving my problem.

I have been very ill with many complications of colitis and hospitalized off and on since 09/08/09. I have seen various physicians by referral and the referral today was by my primary care, Dr. Alex Bellido, who has treated both me and my family very professionally and with care for many years, and a GI Dr. I was referred to last Wed. to resolve a problem I have with parasites both internal and now comng through my skin. This Dr. barely examined me and looked briefly at the sanples I took in bottles at the suggestion of the GI Dr. I asked him on more than one occasion to look at my face, and arms and the areas irritated with the LIVE "critters" for lack of a better word. He then told me that it was his opinion that I needed to seek the assistance of a Mental Health professional. I was never treated in his office, and my husband was with me and we were both so upset with this that I was in tears, and we picked up our things and left his office most upset! We then drove to our primary… care Dr. Bellido and related to them the treatment that we received there in DR. Calderon's office, and that instead of helping me with my problem, he wanted me to see a mental health professional. In all ny years, no one has suggested that I need mental health treatment, and Dr. Bellido knows these problems are real! I told them that they should remove your name from their referral list. It upsets both my husband and I that you have noted my medical file that I am in need of mental health for a REAL problem dignosed by other specialists. I am also going to write a letter to the Florida Board of Physicians in Tallassee. This has been the worst experience for both my husband and I.
