Thomas A. Caleca, MD
,
Clearwater, FL

Dr. Caleca continues to treat me and my family after 30 years as his patients. We find him to be both a caring human being and an excellent physician. As a retired professional, I understand the increasingly high cost of maintaining an office practice that must generate enough income to support a family. This reality compels many doctors to NOT accept Medicare Advantage plans that set low reimbursement schedules. Personally, if I did not have adequate health insurance, I'd ask the "out of pocket cost" when scheduling my appointment, seek payment arrangements, and be glad to pay to learn that my eyes did not require further treatment. Hopefully, we will manage to save and improve the Affordable Care Act and join governments of other industrialized nations in providing health care to all people within their borders. In our case, allowing us to enjoy our right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Dr. Caleca is clearly a very good doctor but wow ~ WAY over priced. I saw the doctor for maybe 10 minutes, he looked at my eye issue, determined there was no problem, shook my hand and sent me on my way. I went to pay my bill and it was $220!! I should have known when I noticed all the seats in the waiting room were plush leather. Sorry, but that is over-priced. If you don't have insurance, this is not your doctor.
