Providence Patient
The question on this survey about talking about medicine is a poor one. Everything I am taking is routine so no discussion about them is necessary. I came to this office after a poor experience with a doctor in Idaho. I like Dr Calamia and everyone in the office a lot.

Providence Patient
This appointment was my first with the provider as a 'new patient.' Dr. Calamia was very thorough, and patient, demonstrated competence, and listened to what I had to say or ask. The two clinicians in the lab were outstanding: friendly and competent. The reception(s) were reasonably friendly though they were competent and efficient.
Providence Patient
Dr.Calamia is the kindest, most caring and honest doctor I have ever had.

Providence Patient
Dr. Calamia has been my care provider for one year now and has also been the care provider for my mother who recently passed away in October. He has been very helpful, responsive, and kind to both of us this last year. I was very touched when he called me to give his condolences following my mom's death.

Providence Patient
First time at this practice. Appointment went smoothly. Took too long to get the appointment when our other provider left the practice.
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

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! ;)
Providence Patient
Enjoyed this first meeting with my new PCP. He was interested in me as a person and my medical concerns. Look forward to a positive relationship with the Doctor.

Providence Patient
I feel heard and the provider is exceptionally compassionate and helpful.
Providence Patient
The Doctor is new to me. So far so good. I have issues and he is working with me to fix these issues. I do need to feel that he would be more willing to look into other issue I am having other than diabetes. He is helping with that but I chose to get a primary so that I could take care of other issues that have been put off as well.
Providence Patient
He was considerate and helpful. This was my first time and look forward to many more years.
Providence Patient
Dr. Calamia is the kindest, most genuine and caring physician I have ever had.
Providence Patient
Dr. Calamia is a wonderful doctor. He is very kind, caring, and knowledgeable. Unfortunately it is very hard to make an appointment with him. That is my only complaint. He knows this and has called me on his lunch hour to discuss my health issues as I was unable to see him soon enough. He is great at responding to messages in MyChart.
Providence Patient
I was treated with compassion & felt provider listened carefully, not second guessing my needs. I would definitely see this provider again.
Providence Patient
Dr. Calamia is great.
Providence Patient
This was my first initial appointment with this provided following the retirement of my long-term provider. The provider made a good first impression. It is awkward to change providers after a 22 year established relationship with one provider. I hope the relationship is off to a good start.
Providence Patient
Dr Calamia was very personable.
Providence Patient
My chart makes communication scheduling easy. Dr Calamia is an excellent physician
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
Dr. Calamia is a top-notch doctor! I have a lot of confidence in his knowledge. I appreciate how well he listens and allows me my opinions, while providing facts and sound advise. Since I started seeing Dr. Calamia I have overcome obesity and a number of complications from that condition such as diabetes, colitis, barrett's disease and anxiety. These are all things that doctors over the past 15 years were not able to treat correctly. Very grateful to have found him. I am healthier than I have been in decades.
