Dr.Calafi is a good doctor with enough experience in his profession but he does not have time management and his staff are not good in the follow up with patient regarding doctor’s order.

Dr Calafi fixed my lower broken fibula. He is a great surgeon, his staff is also very professional and helpful. I hope not to break another bone, but if I do Dr Calafi will be on my speed-dial

Dr Calafi is a highly sophisticated surgeon. Straightforward, genuine, trustworthy and skilled in his profession. I was in very good hands with him after I broke my pelvis ring in a horrific accident. Sadly the surgeon at that time didn’t do a proper job and the whole installation fell apart. Dr. Calafi had the challenging task to fix me by taking out the hardware and nailing me back together. (…to make a long story short…) and he did a great job !!!.

Dr Calafi and his FNP, Haley Kirkpatrick, are just awesome. The whole medical and administration team are awesome too! Always so supportive, friendly, encouraging and really knowledgeable! I'd give them ten gold stars if I could!

Dr. Calafi was kind...straightforward...reassuring...and explained everything so we understood it...and not in a condescending manner eiither...I believe he truly had my best interest when he had to refer me to another doctor within his practice.

Our 6 yr old son had a broken arm. Dr Calafi was able to set and cast his arm within a few hours of it breaking. He was gentle and calm and did very well with our 6 yr old.
