Dr Kalava always spends the time I need. He does not make me feel bad or awkward about my position and is always easy to talk to. He is not the normal pain provider that does not have an open mind. He is willing to work with me on every issue that I am having. Staff at the hospital when having procedures have been second to none. I feel safe with him and all who works with him.

My visit started off with a 1 and a half hour wait majority of the times. The doctor(Kalava) spends not very much talking to you to figure out your problem and basically tries to rush seeing you. I SERIOUSLY do not suggest choosing this doctor and if you can find ANYONE else, do it. I went for back pain because I am in serious pain but visit after vist of trying this medication and that medication gets honestly tiring. I am tired of not being able to even stand for less than 20 minutes but I am sorry am not going to sit in a... read more

Never!! Very unfriendly! Absolutely ignored everything I said to him. He did not take my concerns seriously or try in any way to ease how difficult it is for me to physically, mentally and emotionally deal with a recent and rapid decline in my health as well as my independence. I was a new patient, seeing him for the first time too!!! It was so upsetting for me that when I finally got to the car I instantly burst out in tears. I thought being sent to a Pain specialist meant, FINALLY getting the help I need, plus deserve. Wha... read more

He completely wasted my time. I feel like a criminal for having to go to a pain specialist, when I'm not a criminal, I have a crippling disease. I've never taken an opiod. I feel like I was never listened to and I KNOW for a fact I wasn't ever properly cared for. A doctor should genuinely listen to a patient, not intentionally look away at a computer and pretend to listen. On average I was made to wait 70inutes in the waiting room for him to arrive. Never again.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Kalava. My sister also sees him as well and loves him. I have had degenerative disc disease since i was a teen and Boston children's scarred me for life after having a cortisone injection in my spine there. Dr. Kalava was so different. I didn't even know he had done the procedure I was so out of it. Put my faith back into a doctor to be able to trust. I understand the comments about his demeanor and being sort of awkward. But doesn't change his care quality.
