Dr. Cannatti is retiring at year's end. I will very much miss his expertise, empathy, and caring! He will be leaving some very big shoes to fill. I went to Cleveland Clinic because of Dr. Cannatti. Not because I'm impressed with Cleveland Clinic. People go to great medical providers, not organizations. I hope his replacement is good. If not I will seek a different provider.

I have been with Dr. James Cannatti and his team for years. We're close to the same age (I'm older) and we've always joked that we were growing up together! I could never have asked for a better ophthalmologist! I have many medical problems, including Type I diabetes, and Dr. Cannatti always took utmost care of my eyes, catching any changes that may have occurred. He explained his plan of action to me and has gotten me to a good place I feel comfortable being. I will truly miss him as he retires, but I've been so blessed to have been cared for by such a wonderful, caring doctor! Now it's his turn to enjoy a new Journey!
