I've been seeing Dr. Calico for a few years now and despite moving out of town, I will still make the trip to see her. When I've had insurance hangups, she's quick to respond and never made me feel like refilling my medicine was a hassle, as other doctors have done in the past. She is a great listener, so much so, that I'd say she is incredibly intuitive and perceptive.
