The Doctor was very condescending when I asked why I was tired all the time and why I was so short of breath after a stent. Be aware the cath lab he uses cannot be used for the insertion of stents. This causes a double procedure if a stent is required. I believe this doubles the risk of complications. I advise a second opinion before beginning a regimen with him.

I was originally treated by Dr Calderon because a high calcium score. He saw me immediately, and provided thorough, and extensive testing which resulted in him placing a stent in one of my coronary arteries. I was very happy with the way i was treated by him and every single person on his team of professionals. I was always able to communicate with him to get my questions answered, even if he had to personally call me on the phone. I recommend him highly.

Dr. Calderon is a fine cardiologist. He is thorough and explains his diagnosis/treatment fully. Although this does not interfere with his care, he could improve his listening skills.

Dr. Calderon provided excellent care for my first time visit to a cardiologist. He’s very knowledgeable and seems very interested in what you have to say.

Tends to over prescribe blood pressure medicine and statins.
Otherwise for emergency services, does a good job.
Does not explain why a certain drug is good. Just insists he is right.

I decided it was time for a general cardiac exam and was very satisfied with Dr. Calderon and his office and staff. The experience was professional and comforting and reassuring. Luckily I am in good cardiac shape. I would definitely recommend him to others.

A wonderful doctor, I was treated for years by Manatee County Rural health 1998 - 2010 - i must have been put on every kind of blood pressure medication ever made & still had terrible high blood pressure.. I came to him and was taken off many medications and put on only 2 - my BP has been perfect ever since.
He gave me many tests to evaluate my health & I am much healthier for changing to him.
I feel 10 yrs. younger and at 69 I passed a stress test with flying colors.

An amazingly well qualified physician. He saved my life. He is knowledgeable, courteous and patient. I was so very fortunate to have discovered him when I had my heart block in December of 2015. His staff is also first class.
