My experience was awesome
Dr. Calis is an exceptional physician. He is very caring and compassionate. He listens and answers any questions or concerns that you may have.
No problems
Dr. Calis was terrific.
Dr. Calis was very personable. Was able to provide several scenarios to help remedy what could be small glass in my foot.
Wry good
I have seen this doctor before which is why I have chosen to drive two hours from my home 120 miles to make sure he is the doctor that I see because of his excellent previous work
Professionalism
I was adequately informed of the procedure
Good
I told Dr Calis at the time of the appointment that he was the third podiatrist that I have seen over the last 5 years, but he is the first one who listened well, ask questions on the initial consultation and prescribed a course of treatment that took my foot pain from severe and limiting to being able to exercise again. We are now working to fine tune things to better my long term success.
For some unknown reason X-rays were ordered of my right foot. I was not advised in advance that an xray had been ordered. Also, the xray was ordered for my right foot, but it was my left foot that was giving me the most trouble. Seemed to me if an xray was needed it should have been of my left foot. I told the xray tech that I wanted to talk to my doctor before any X-rays were taken. As a result I talked to my doctor and no X-rays were taken. No explanation given as to why an xray was ordered and why it was ordered for the wrong foot.
All good
Exceptional
Dr. Calis was very thoughtful in his care. He shared his opinion based on observations of my MRI and his physical examination and outlined the various treatment options, including risks. I was able to voice my questions and concerns which were treated with respect. I look forward to working with Dr. Calis through my treatment.
Provider actively listened and answered my numerous follow up questions. I felt involved in my care.
This was follow-up visit. Excellent results from previous treatment. This gave me the opportunity to discuss multiple issues with Emory Health Care. Excellent results!
Dr. Calis is excellent
I appreciate the care and concern that Dr. Calis displays at each visit. I also appreciate that when he says something he always follows through.
I love Emory Service so much
Doctor knows his stuff. Staff very involved and caring
Dr Rami Calis was very knowledgeable a sincere about the treatments and procedures that would be needed to correct the problem of my right foot. He also gave me an alternative of what can be done to keep the foot discomfort going in the right direction. The service that he performed on my foot gave me great relief. If there's anyone needing an ORTHOPAEDICS DOCTOR, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. RAMI CALLIS.
I like Dr Calis actually, he's just not a warm and fuzzy kind of bedside manner type of guy.
Very patient.
Always a good experience!
Very happy with the work done by doctor
Excellent experience
Awesome doctor
Dr Calis is the finest podiatrist I have ever had in my 37 years as a Type 1 Diabetic. His patience & courtesy in answering my many questions & advising me on my continuing care of my feet is so very appreciated. Truly grateful that Emory has him on staff!
Dr Calis is the kind of doc I like -Personable, direct and clear.
I appreciate Dr. Calis' attention to detail and the way he explores every avenue to do the best that can be done. All within a very welcoming environment.
Dr Calis is AWESOME!!! He spent a few minutes just to chat and ask how my holidays are going. He thoroughly explained my condition and what to expect in the future as well as what to do if I have problems or concerns in the future. He also took a moment to chat about my family. It was truly a great visit and he is so personable. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.
Dr Calis quickly addressed my concerns and explained the options for treatment. He gave me the choice on how to move forward. Good visit!!
Dr. Calis was amazing. He was very thorough and explained everything in full detail.
I felt listened to.
Excellent
Excellent!
Dr Calis is an excellent doctor who gives thorough explanations of what needs to be done and offers more than one treatment plan. He's also very personable and easy to talk to.
Visits are always excellent!!
Congenial and professional. Understood problems and gave good advice, recommendations, and Instructions - just what we we looking for.
Great experience.
World class experience with Dr calis
First time I have consulted with the doctor and I liked it a lot, he gave me confidence and security, he explained me in detail and solved all my doubts, excellent doctor.
I had seen another podiatrist recommended by my primary which wasn't a good experience. I searched via AI for a second option and found Dr. Calis. He was excellent. Explained in detail, what he diagnosed as likely root cause of my problem and offered good solutions. I would recommend Dr. Calis to anyone.
It was an intimidating experience. The textbook style treatment style was formal and lacked a conversational approach, failing to approach with empathy or connect with me as a person and established report. The Interaction was highly structured, leaving me with only yes or no responses. Additionally, the doctor, who was halfway in and halfway out of the room, asked me, "That's not your real name, right?" He repeated this twice. He also asked where I was from and seemed to enjoy his questions. I felt embarrassed, especially since the door was open and there was no privacy. When he mentioned that he was Palestinian, I didn't know where we were going or why all this was happening. Perhaps he was curious, but sometimes asking for permission to ask questions, especially when they have nothing to do with medicine, is considered courtesy.
Dr Calis was especially clear in his explanations and prescribed path forward.
Dr Callis offered a full explanation of hallux rigidus and offered to refurbish rather than replace my orthotics, an affordable solution
Outstanding care
Dr. Calis provided excellent care. He described in detail the biomechanical changes seen with both my feet/toes. After discussing options, he was able to promptly give me two cortisone injections. Later viewing the injection ultrasound video clips was educational and helpful. Dr. Calis answered all of my questions, including best shoe options.
Dr Calis is probably the best non-invasive DPM I have met or dealt with. All his suggestions are always correct and all orthotics he has had made for me have been excellent. I certainly have recommended him to other people with foot/ankle issues.
Dr. Calis was on time and spent much time assuring me that my foot was heeled and I don't neem the boot. He was personable and displayed high levels of knowledge of my injury. I was impressed that he recalled our previous session in much detail. Again, he made me feel like family
Dr Calis is the very best! From beginning to end, he explained clearly what was causing my pain and what steps we could take (ha! He's a foot doctor) to make it better.
Dr Calis is awesome
Dr Calis is awesome. He's thorough and very easy to understand. He also asked if he explained everything to me which is very good for the patient. Outstanding provider. Allows me to decide on the options provided.
Dr Calis is the best! Explains everything thoroughly and asks if you have questions
Dr Calis is Top of Class in care and listening!
Feedback: (1) Dr. Calis was friendly, although rushed and slightly disengaged (I am comparing this to another Emory Ortho doctor I have worked with). But I did appreciate that he came back into the room to answer a question I had regarding a structural anomaly I wanted to confirm was irrelevant. (2) He answered my questions but I would have liked more detail and context so that I fully understood the diagnosis, prognosis, risks, etc. - e.g. What kind of fracture Is It? Will It take longer to heal because I cannot fully rest It after my knee surgery? (3) Possible misdiagnosis - the facts of my case didn't line up and so I went and got a second opinion from an ER doctor. There Is clearly another fracture line visible In the Images, which means this is likely a comminuted fracture. This would explain the outward position of the toe. However, the ER doctor did affirm that the toe is not displaced and treatment is the same.In the end, no harm no foul, but I will check out other doctors before I consider returning to Dr. Calis.
Very satisfied
My experience was very good for my issues.
This provider is very good, professional, knowledgeable, relatable. Highly recommended !

Very good experience. Easy to schedule. Great listener. Really cares about relieving my pain.

Excellent
Dr Calis is an excellent listener, thorough and responsive to questions and concerns.
Dr C was honest and able to tell me that he could not help the condition but yet very helpful on trying to find comfort for my feet while waiting to get get another specialist. I miss the days when doctors were not so specialized that they can treat your illnesses in the area of discomfort.
Alll was fine.

The provider examined my foot, gave me his diagnosis, performed treatment on the callus and showed me how to put a small cushion under the insole of my right shoe.
I was very pleased with the overall experience and Emory. I walked away feeling that this would be a place I would love to visit if needed and I will certainly recommend anyone else who's looking for podiatrist.
I feel like I was cared for with respect. Dr. C also took his time and wrote out a list of sneakers to work in upon my returning to work. I call that going the extra mile. I was grateful.

I scheduled this appointment with Dr.Calis because I was having pain and some swelling one of my toes on right foot. During this visit I told Dr.Calis about the pain and swelling on my middle toe on my right foot. This started a few days prior to the visit. Dr. Calis diagnosed me with hammertoe on the middle toe,which I had not hear of before. I asked what cause this,he mentioned it could be the orthotics or from my shoes. I asked if we needed to do an X-ray of this issue and he said no and give me one gel to cover the area for the hammertoe. I don't recall discussing a treatment plan for the hammertoe diagnosis. My concern as I expressed to Dr. Calis Is that there will no infection and he said. I want to make sure I am doing everything to maintain good health.
Dr Calis was wonderful and I will be seeing him for a follow up in a few weeks. He was attentive and helpful. He was able to solve my issue the inserts have my Achilles Tendon feeling better already

The primary purpose of my visit was to establish a podiatrist for future needs and look at minor ingrown toenail. Dr. Calis addressed that issue and prescribed some ointment for my toe fungus which worked great. Also referred me to vascular doctor who gave me a complete work up. Greatly appreciated the referral. Everything checked out, but at my age it was good information to know. We also discussed future options concerning a bunion that occasionally bothers me. Over all great experience. Thank you Dr. Calis

Dr. Calis and his assistant are both the absolute best!
Dr. Calis is fantastic - terrific bedside manner!
Dr. Calis listened to my concerns regarding 10 year post surgery issues. He reviewed my x-rays & explained structural changes in my feet. Future options were also discussed, which were very helpful.
I have already referred others to the practice
Dr. Calis rapidly, and without measuring either my feet or the insoles, plopped metatarsal pads on my shoe insoles. He did not bother to check to see If or how the pads fit. I wore them home and they very obviously fit differently under each foot. But I can't readjust them because they are permanently stuck to my insoles, which are now unusable. I wore them again today and after a while my right knee began to hurt. I'm very upset about this visit.
Care by the doctor.
Patient focused care and a real concern for my podiatric problems
Dr Calis is extremely responsive to patients, thorough, efficient and friendly. He explains things very well and is very approachable.
Matthew and Dr Calis did a great job
