About Me

Caleb Pflederer was born and raised on a small horse ranch in a town of about 2,500 people in Central Illinois, where he learned the value of hard work and developed a love for completing hands-on projects. Pflederer's father and grandfather were physicians specializing in treating kidney disease and showed him how fulfilling a career caring for patients could be. After graduating with honors from the University of Illinois, he attended Rush Medical College in Chicago and developed a strong interest in general surgery, where he found he could treat patients through direct, practical interventions. Pflederer completed his residency at Carolinas Medical Center. When not treating patients, he spends most of his time with friends, family, and his two golden retrievers, seeking out bodies of water where his dogs can swim, playing golf, and traveling.
