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.

Dr. Caldwell is God-sent!!

Super detailed, no returns, All repaired
I'm an engineer, I wear people out asking details, Dr. Caldwell takes the time every time to give me the details, he is not afraid of questions. I have had a complicated shoulder repair (broken and separated clavicle, labrum repair, rotator cuff repair) scope and repaired both knees, and re-attached my hamstring to my pelvis all over a period of 20 years. I have not had to have anything re-repaired. His follow up care with me and the physical therapists has been complete and again detailed. I am very active, hiking, dirt bikes, boating and physical work activities and he has enabled me to continue all of these pain free. Two of my children and my mother have all had repairs done by Dr. Paul Caldwell, we just call him Uncle Paul now.

Clinical Excellence, Compassionate care
His staff fit my mother into the schedule seamlessly. Dr. Caldwell correctly Dx’ed two mechanical issues that other HCPs have been chasing neurologically. He performed a technically challenging injection, delivering medicine into an area as narrow as 8.5x11 paper. My parents are both retired HCPs and Dr. Caldwell is on the list of providers that we trust with their care.
