Dr. Calcote became my ophthalmologist when he returned to Little Rock and joined his father's practice He remained so until his retirement. I spent many hours in his office as I was growing up while he meticulously examined my rapidly changing eyesight. He will always be the standard by which I judge my eye care physician.
