My experience with Dr. Caulkins is limited to wellness appointmentsm for my husband and myself. We liked him at those appointments. He is pleasant, treated us respectfully, and recommended blood tests. My husband's results came promply. My tests were done just a few days ago, just before the holiday weekend, so it's too soon to judge promptness of response. Since there has been no reason to treat me, I can't give a fair answer to questions concerning care.
