    Dr Calow is very engaging and instils a sense of trust and confidence. His assessment of me was spot on, and so was his advice. I am delighted to have finally found our new family doctor, after my previous doctor (a great relationship of over 20 years) sadly retired, partly due to ill health. I am looking forward to getting to know Dr Calow better, and to working with him in looking after my and my family's health.

    All good. Was recommended to a dermatologist in Century City for a complete check but after emailing her found out she is not contracted in wants R1400 up front and medication all extra. Just a precaution for a spot on back of my head. Dr Calow couldn't see it but think it might just be something a little saw but latent. Very good at cleaning my ear wax 100%. Told me to get some medicinal oil and insert the night before with a plug and some more in the morning before coming through for the final clean. Medication subscribed for urine strength. A script for 6 mnths. Opted for a generic. Overall very happy.
