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.

Very Good!

In addition to Dr. Calhoun there were two students which I thoroughly enjoyed having them there. After an issue that I had in 2006 and the third-year student identified my issue and possible causes, I always tell them that I love having them there.

I had a difficult heart surgery as I expect most people who come to a heart specialist do. But his mannerisms and explanations helped. Nothing is perfect in life and I for one am happy to be here. I don’t know about the future problems but I’m grateful to the doctor for genuinely caring.

Only surgeon in San Antonio that can do the Warden Technique. If I didn’t have Dr. Calhoon for this surgery I wouldn’t be alive today for my ASD/VSD heart defect.
