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. Calhoun preformed my mothers surgery to treat her advanced lung cancer, years ago. Although her cancer ended up being too progressed to stop, Dr. Calhoun was a positive advocate for my mother and really made her feel cared for and safe, at such a scary time. He seems genuine about his concern for his patients and their caretakers. I always felt heard and supported when I took my Mom to her appts. and his kind bedside manner made it a little less stressful. I highly recommend him and am glad he was able to be part of making my moms time here a little easier.

I have been a patient with Dr Calhoun for several years. He has performed lung surgery and bronchs on me several times--ALL successful! All you have to do is look up Dr Calhoun's resume, etc and you begin to understand what kind of doctor he is! He is a pioneer, and will do everything in his power to help you. I thank him not only for such a great quality of life but for my very life itself. He has an absolutely WONDERFUl staff, always friendly and so helpful. I Thank God I found out there is such a doctor out there. Thank you, Dr Calhoun and Staff for giving me back my life.

My Husband was seriously ill with lung disease, Dr Calhoun was amazing ,he went beyond his duties and was proactive in his healthcare . When other doctors were at a point of giving up Dr Calhoun stayed positive . Dr Calhoun was able to find the underlying cause of his lung problem .It wasn't just lung disease ,it was also a medicine he was taking causing additional problems for him. He immediately recognized this on his first examination. The finest Doctor I have ever met.
