Dr Cann has been my orthopedic doctor since the mid-1990's. He is an exceptional doctor and an incredible human being. He is kind, caring, and always concerned about the overall health and well being of his patients. He's easy to talk to and he listens very well as you explain why you are in the office. When I was younger Dr Cann helped me through sports injuries. And since I have been an adult, Dr Cann has preformed 2 surgeries on my right ankle. And post surgeries, Dr Cann has been there for me to help me "walk" (literally and figuratively) through the recovery process. I carry his business cards in my wallet and I refer friends and family to Dr Cann often! I recently had another injury to my ankles and Dr Cann and his staff helped me to get an appointment quickly and were so attentive to my pain and concerns. To me, Dr Cann is the best doctor ever! I will never be able to say 'Thank You' enough for all that Dr Cann has done for me to help me with quality of life and the ability to continue to walk. Thank you, Dr Cann!!!
