As a Shreveport native, Dr. Calligas combines his love of technology with his passion for medicine. He earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science with a minor in business from Tulane University in New Orleans.

Dr. Calligas went on to complete an internship and residency in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and became board certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.
