I was very impressed with Dr. Caulfield. I suffer from the self proclaimed "White Coat syndrome". Dr Caulfield put me at ease as soon as he walked into the examining room. He is quite personable and explained my knee issues in layman's terms. He explained what he was doing when performing the cortisone shots in both knees. His PA was quite good, as well! Kudos to him and his team.
