I have been a patient of Dr. Cannatti for more than ten years. I have total confidence in his outstanding care of me as his patient. Through the years, I've had a few problems. Every time I was immediately called back and, if necessary, had an exam scheduled. Any problems were thoroughly explained and a plan to resolve the problem and any concerns I had were always addressed. He also always informed my Family Doctor of my status. I'm also sure, that if Dr. Cannatti feels I need to see a Specialist for further treatment, he would recommend one.

Dr. Cannatti is one of my trusted physicians. He remembers what was discussed previously and speaks clearly. I know what to look out for and how to react if something occurs. He's conservative in the best way and that matches my approach to my own healthcare. I highly recommend him.

I cannot truly express how wonderful Dr. Cannatti was with me.

I didn't think we were going to be abel to get an appointment. My husband is disabled and needs me to be in the appointment with him so I can tell the Dr. what is going on and so I know what the plan of care is going forward. My concern was what we were going to do with our daughter during the appointment. She is 4 so I can't leave her in the car. Due to COVID her school is closed, and I can't take her to her grandparents for the same reason. At first the office was not going to let me bring her due to COVID. But they found a way to allow us to bring our daughter but still keep everyone safe and within the COVID safety standards. The office really went above and beyond to make sure my husband could be seen but still keep us all safe. It was GREATLY appreciated!!
