Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best physician I have ever had
Dr Callihan listens to concerns, includes me in decisions making about my health, offers options, is compassionate, and genuinely care about my health and my quality of life as I believe he does his own family members. It is very difficult to find such a talent and expertise as his.

Lacks compassion
My initial visit with Dr. Callihan went really well. He was attentive and thorough. Since then he treats me like an inconvenience, seems to be in a bad mood and can't wait to end our visit. I've never seen him smile or exhibit any kind of compassion. He's stoic, at best. Although he seems knowledgeable, I hesitate to make another appointment with him because of his (lack of) response to me. I'm in the process of finding a caring physician to replace him.

He is absolutely great and attentive.
He diagnosed my illness and gave me instructions on taking medicine until I improved. I think the best thing about Dr. Callihan is he listens to his patients and understands how we are feeling. He is a very caring person and treats his patients like you are family.

We had a very interesting interview about my health. One of the items, which I wanted for sleep, he prescribed a drug which is not habit forming for sleep, and it truly works! Thank you, Dr Callilan for the nonhabit forming drug you gave me for sleep.

New patient
A great experience for my first time. I was immediately checked in upon arrival. Dr. Brian Callihan and the medical staff was awesome from start to finish. I really appreciated Dr. Callihan for taking time to go over my health issues and clearly explaining my treatment options. He didn't rush the appointment and asked if I had questions. I walked away knowing that I was heard and that Dr. Callihan is truly taking care his patients health and wellness.

Dr. Callihan is easily the best PCP I've had in a number of years. I have been a patient of his for nearly two years, and have been consistently impressed with his familiarity with my medical record at each visit, his willingness to engage in useful dialog concerning medical conditions and options, and the quality of his recommendations. I consider him to be in the very top tier of Ochsner PCP's that I have used for over 30 years. Highly recommended.

Dr. Callihan is one of the few doctors that will even discuss holistic medial treatments. While Ochsner is evaluating this field in some areas, it will be a long time before they probably adopt any of these methods. I recommend him highly.
