The first time I met Dr. Brown and his staff, I knew I had picked the right doctor for my breast reduction. My breasts had become so large, especially my left one that I was having such bad... lower back pains. Now my breast are the same size and they look and feel wonderful. My surgery took over 4 hours and it took 6 months before all pain and sensitivity was gone. It was all worth it. It is easier to exercise and enjoy normal activities. I am eating healthy and have lost 22 lbs now. Thanks Dr. Brown for changing my life. ❤️👍😇read more

April 21st 2015, Dr caluda did a lumpectomy on my right breast for stage 3 breast cancer 5 cm. He did an excellent job, until I had to have a double biopsy a year later because they... suspected the cancer returned & it resulted in an abscess. Last month an MRI and diagnostic mammogram suspected returned cancer in my right breast again. I went to see Dr caluda because my breast had so much trauma .. he advised a consult before any biopsy since my breast caused me so much pain. I had a mastectomy and got the results as NO cancer! I was so excited AND the scar tissue that caused the pain is gone. It was not a wasted surgery at all. I have recommended Dr Caluda and the Surgery Group to anyone I hear of that needs surgery. The receptionist area are very efficient and helpful, the checkout lady is very nice with always a bright smile, Maggie is the most wonderful nurse who makes you feel relaxed and answers all your questions returning your calls as soon as she's available. But Dr Caluda takes a personal interest in his patients and does the best I've ever seen a surgeon do. I highly recommend the Surgery Group!!read more
