I am pleased she is part of me team.Providence Patient
I saw Dr. Calof because she declined to renew a prescription for thyroid medication. I did not receive a phone call or explanation as to why Dr. Calof declined to renew medication I have been taking for many years, but I assumed it meant I needed to make an appointment for a follow up and lab work. As this is not typical of Dr. Calof's interaction with me as her patient, I asked why and we discussed the matter of refilling a prescription in the future and a phone call or email via MyChart. Dr. Calof referred me for an ultra sound of my thyroid and the appointment, ultra sound, and follow up response with results from Dr. Calof, were quick and my medication has been refilled without problem.Providence Patient

I believe Dr. Calof is very proficient and do respect her opinion. I would highly recommend her to anyone requiring an endocrinologist.Providence Patient
I don't feel as my need was meet for meeting with the provider. I was looking to get on medication immediately and it did not seem as if she was wanting to.Providence Patient
Exceptional care from everyone in Dr Calof's office. My only concern is the use of a scribe. A scribe was used on my last two visits and I do not feel comfortable discussing medical issues with a scribe in the room. I would prefer that a scribe NOT be present during any of my visits.Providence Patient
