A friend of mine has an appointment with him. He takes good care of her, and his goal is to try to make her able to back to her normal life again. My friend has a good doctor and nurse when she has her twist and leg Sugary at John Muir. Their goal is to improve their life and get well, so she can back to her daily routine. Her first hospital was Alta Base Hospital where no skills or experience tool but compared with John Muir Hospital with all the skills, experience tools, and others to do the Sugary with a broken twist and bone leg at the same time/ She was fear because her first time and has very sensitive body. She is a sports lady and never has had any worse health like this before. Her life entered with a broken and caring mental depression about her future; this doctor and nurse never forced her or gave weird shots or something to cause her pain and worse healing. She felt very thankful for them to go through the pain and success of her Sugary. Afterward discharged and worked on her physical therapy on her leg and twist; something came up new and bothered her. She has to remove her gallbladder. Everything happens after the accident and after the second surgery because she cannot go to the natural bathroom. It was the City of Berkeley street design fault without giving a good road ahead at night. The night ball was so little and the street was dark; you were t able to see any ahead of you if you did not get close to it. Her natural bathroom told her it is not right to poo on the bed. Then, she has a lot of itches on her skin and stomach. Later on, a few weeks later, Alta Bas doctor found out she had a lot of injuries inside her body due to the accident with a hit that had been there for a while. She has a third Sugary and fears with some food but vis ings she does not want; she was able to get well and better soon. So thank you, doctor, nurse other caregivers, and physical therapy

Dr Calafi is fantastic. No nonsense and direct approach. Very informative. Goes over X-rays and gives explanation of healing on its own vs whether surgery is necessary or advisable.

Had out patient surgery on my right ankle which I had twisted and broken in 3 places. I also had 2 breaks just below my right knee which they decided would heal on its on. The surgery was performed and I went home with very little pain. I have had numerous surgeries in the past so I know how painful it can be. By the way. I had minimal pain and discomfort ever since the surgery and am very happy with all my treatment by Dr. Calafi.

Dr.Calafi is a good doctor with enough experience in his profession but he does not have time management and his staff are not good in the follow up with patient regarding doctor’s order.

Dr Calafi fixed my lower broken fibula. He is a great surgeon, his staff is also very professional and helpful. I hope not to break another bone, but if I do Dr Calafi will be on my speed-dial

Dr Calafi is a highly sophisticated surgeon. Straightforward, genuine, trustworthy and skilled in his profession. I was in very good hands with him after I broke my pelvis ring in a horrific accident. Sadly the surgeon at that time didn’t do a proper job and the whole installation fell apart. Dr. Calafi had the challenging task to fix me by taking out the hardware and nailing me back together. (…to make a long story short…) and he did a great job !!!.

Our 6 yr old son had a broken arm. Dr Calafi was able to set and cast his arm within a few hours of it breaking. He was gentle and calm and did very well with our 6 yr old.
