For the first time in years I am able to stand without adjusting my stance to limit my pain. Dr. Callebaut is the best. Thank you!

Dr. Callewart is my favorite doctor. I just had surgery two weeks ago and I feel great. This is the best I have felt in a long time. The friendliness of the staff is superb and his care for me as a patient was and still has been outstanding. He also fought for me with my insurance company to get me approved finally. I have never met a doctor that takes into account how you feel as a patient and willing to fight for what you need. I would recommend anyone to him. My mom is next she loves him as well.

Dr Callewart performed a complicated surgery on me exactly one week ago. This surgery consisted of moving my head and neck back into place and because of his skill and professionalism, I’m expecting to make a great recovery. Dr Callewart has performed a number of surgeries on me that most surgeons wouldn’t consider. I am very comfortable in saying that Dr Callewart is the best and most skilled surgeon in Dallas and I am very fortunate to have him as my surgeon.

Where to start, after about a year reviewing surgical options and issues with others, I went to Dr. Callewart due to the high ratings and high regards he has throughout DFW. I’ve never experienced a surgeon who will thoroughly discuss the mechanism of injury. I was offered ADR from other surgeons due to my age, but Dr. Callewart pointed out that my issue was due to too much movement when bending over. I knew he was spot on because I used to explain that to other surgeons and they just could not effectively answer why I would have severe pain shooting up my spine laying down after that. This was just the start of knowing I wanted to go with Dr. Callewart. Next, came insurance and we all know how they try to do anything to avoid spine surgeries. After meeting criteria, we had an OBGYN who hasn’t practiced medicine in over a decade trying to give Dr. Callewart a true expert a hard time even though this guy had several surgical referrals and opinions on this. He was indicating he was not going to approve it even though the criteria has been met, so Dr. Callewart who also helps patients fight insurance companies in Texas with getting fair evaluations in these situations informed them of that law that was not being followed, and instantly approved the surgery. Sad that it had to come to this, but I also don’t know another surgeon that would fight like this for his patients. He had to fight more with prescriptions I needed to be discharged so this was definitely above and beyond any ones standards of care. The first week or so after surgery was definitely challenging, and I didn’t sleep very well due to the uncomfortable pain being in positions my back didn’t like, but after that I definitely noticed a difference right away. The nerve issues I was having was essentially gone right after surgery and I only get nerve pain now if I overdue it. Recovery is not going to happen over night but I have been fairly comfortable and was able to start doing work and things more freely around 2-3 weeks after surgery and it seems like it’s continuing to progress. I have bad days still, but it’s just apart of the process but I’m forever grateful for Dr. Callewart fighting for me as well as giving me my life back thus far. I can’t wait to continue progressing and get back into doing athletic things again. I cannot praise him enough for his talent and ability. I’ll forever be in his debt and would vouch for him all day everyday as one the of the best surgeons in Dallas and likely the world. If you have spine problems, this is the man to see as he is the full package that cares for you before and after the surgery. His staff was excellent as well which we all know that isn’t the case at a lot of surgeons practices.
