My treatment is helping a lot and I actually had a procedure for stimrouter because a nerve damage; the results and really incredible and my pain is minimal. I recommend 100%
He was very thorough and great personality. Made the experience very comfortable!
Very good with people who have been in severe pain for a very long time. It takes a certain type of doc to be able to engage well with a person like this. Trust me, I've been to too many to count. I usually leave feeling helpless, and I leave Dr. Kalava with hope.
My Ketamine treatments have thus far out performed other treatments and inspired me to enjoy my days with enthusiasm. I have been many times more physically active and productive with domestic projects all the while planning more future activities
Dr. Kalava is a wonderful and caring provider with a great skill set; I always feel safe. If you’ve ever had a treatment, you’ll understand how important that feeling is to a successful outcome. I always felt he and his assistant Briana had my back if I had a problem or concern during or after treatment. Thank you, Dr. Kalava, for following the science that hasn’t caught up with mainstream medicine yet. I truly felt desperate when I walked into his office. I’m doing well today, taking fewer medications and feel like there is a future again.
I have been dealing with my health situation now for more than 10 years this is the first time that an anesthesiologist contacted me the day before my procedure absolutely outstanding service was off the charts could not have been happier thank you.
The clinic is clean and relaxing. The staff are amazing and the wait time is minimal. I have even arrived early and managed to get in before my appointment time.
Dr. Kalava is very easy to talk to, takes time to go over everything needed and listens to all concerns as well as answering questions. Briana is also very helpful! Definitely recommend.
Dr. Kalava understood that I had a hearing problem and was very careful to enunciate his questions and answers very clearly in order for me to understand.
He was great. Took the time to listen to me and explained in detail everything he was going to do. Would highly recommended him!
Great physician, service and the experience. Physician was able to relieve my pain in just one visit.
