Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

There is no question I recommend him.
Dr. Canto is the best of the best: I have been his patient for years. He is highly professional and Patient Centered. He listens to me, and includes my input in developing protocols. Given I manage CHF, CAD, and Cardiomyopathy, it's comforting to have a Cardiology like Doctor Canto.

Saw him while in LRMC in March 2020. No contact with him since. I am upset that I have had 2 follow up appointments with his ARNP, both of which were rescheduled. I have had issues with medications that have not been addressed by staff! Perhaps it is time to use another clinic!
