I have been telling everybody about my experience at bone and joint because it has so different from my long-term experience with Vanderbilt. They received my request to become a patient And responded in two days. I have never had a Had such a smooth experience as my first visit to the doctor. High praise to the check-in ladies, the nurses everybody that was there for my first visit to answer my questions and to listen to my concerns. Dr. Calendine was that I had hoped he would be. He listened, he answered my questions, he gave me confidence in his skills and experience but also that we would get through this together as a team. I can’t wait to get my knee replaced so that I am not going through life and constant pain 24 seven. I am so thankful that the staff at premier chiropractic pointed me in the direction of Dr. Calendine. They said bone and joint was the best possible place for Orthopedic surgery So I will be going into the process Faith, hope, and a feeling of peace.

I researched Dr Calendine before making appointment and was impressed with his credentials. I made appointment and found him to be the best in his field, AND equally important, attentive to his patient’s needs. He listened to my concerns and addressed every one of them. In addition, his staff had called me and ask if I could come in earlier because Dr Calendine was going to have to leave early that day. Even though he was pressed for time, he made sure I was comfortable in my understanding of options. I opted to try steroid joint injections in both knees, even though I was terrified of the thought of painful joint injections! I can tell you Dr Calendine was so easy in administering the injections, I did not even realize when he had finished. For me, the injections produced quick relief of pain and I could ambulate without the cane I had been using. One last comment, I told Dr Calendine I had to get my knees in shape before football season because my grandson played for LSU and I want to travel to Baton Rouge for his games. When I read my medical record, I saw Dr Calendine had made mention of this, which brought a smile to my face…. A top-notch physician AND person.
