Dr Caldwell was great and gave me a completely different knowledgeable opinion of my injury which I believe saved me a long road ahead.

Really nice guy, Dr Caldwell. Clearly explained what was happening with my elbow and provided sound advice. I hope I don’t have to see him ever again, but if I have to, I’d definitely make an appointment with him again because he’s a terrific doctor…

Dr Caldwell listened closely to my concerns. Did a very through physical assessment. Additional tests were completed efficiently. Dr Caldwell requested I be seen quickly to get his feedback on the follow up to my MRI. Clear explanation of the issue…

Dr. Caldwell is exactly what you would want a doctor to be. He is pleasant and easy to talk to. He answers all your questions and never seems put out by a bunch of questions.

This was my 1st visit and it was a great appointment. I'll absolutely continue seeing Dr. Caldwell or any of the other specialists I may need some day. I highly recommend Panorama.

Friendly staff. My shoulder replacement has been good. The surgery went well. The first two weeks post surgery were grim but after that manageable. Now I have full use of my arm. I am most thankful.
