Providence Patient
Dr Calamia was professional, friendly and insightful. I am extremely fortunate to have him as my doctor
Providence Patient
Very positive first time appointment.
Providence Patient
Dr. Calamia's schedule is full 2-4 months in advance. There don't seem to be enough providers at this clinic to handle demand. Other than availability, Dr. Calamia is a fantastic provider, and we love that he sees both me and my spouse. We really value that relationship. The reception staff was effective, but not courteous. It was obvious that they were working on something else and my check out process was treated as a nuisance.
Providence Patient
Dr Calamia was great and listened to my concerns without judgement. Very positive experience.
Providence Patient
Dr Calamia is a great, knowledgeable PCP. Tops!

Providence Patient
No bad experiences
Providence Patient
Was seeing Dr. Calamia for the first time after my primary left the company. It did take 6 months to get in to see him as a new patient but I believe I'll get in more quickly now that I'm an established patient. Dr. Calamia was excellent. Spent so much time getting to know me and was the first person in over 10 years that was actually able to help with ongoing pain and numbness issues. I'm actually excited to have him as my doctor.
Providence Patient
Dr. Calamari is the best! ;)
