“For better or worse, I have worked six sessions in our state legislature, which equals 12 years,” said Dr. Callewart in a Becker’s Spine Review article. “Most legislators, both at the state and federal levels, are attorneys with very little experience in medicine or business, yet they are making decisions that generally impact us all. Physicians are beginning to wake up and run for political office. I would encourage those of us who can still make a change to become personally involved with our local legislatures, Congressmen and Senators, and work on their campaigns.”
Dr. Callewart is certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and his clinical interests include scoliosis, spinal deformities, disc replacement, radiculopathy, spinal tumors, spinal fusions, spine injuries, vertebroplasty, spondylolisthesis, lumbar herniated discs, complex spine instrumentation and kyphoplasty.
Dr. Callewart earned his medical degree at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. He completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at a teaching hospital of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. He has also completed an orthopedic spine surgery fellowship at University of California Los Angeles.
