    We came down from [CITY] and although it's a bit of a drive, Dr. Callaway was so worth it! He listened to and patiently answered all my questions, explained everything well, was friendly, kind and has a great sense of humor! Highly recommend him. I was also impressed he had read up on my previous testing a few days before and knew my case.

    Check-in process is redundant. I entered information online and was asked many of the same things at the appointment. Dr. Callaway and his staff were very cordial and he explained things to me very well.

    I had a magical experience - this is how healthcare should be.. to give hope to the hopeless ..to provoke the thoughts and ideas while educating the patients. With just ONE appointment, ONE... I left thinking my life has a chance of improving and I was excited after 8 years.

    My appointment was scheduled for 1pm. I was called back late and then waited for the doctor. The doctor and NP were great. No complaints about the care, just the wait.

    I felt like Dr. Callaway listened to me. My regular Dr and surgeon have kind of brushed me off about not being able to swallow, until they were worried about weight loss. I wasn’t worried about the weight loss, it’s because I can’t eat a lot.
