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.

Absolutely wonderful
Doctor Cano is very compassionate and he makes sure to explain everything he is doing. It’s awesome to know Doctor Cano listens closely to his patients and offers different solutions. He does not push you into having recommended procedures done he allows the patients to make that decision. I love Doctor Cano and his office staff.

I had my first visit with Dr. Cano last week for pain from a car accident. He is full of knowledge, understanding and patience. He took the time to answer all of my questions and explained it all to me. I scheduled upcoming appointments with Dr. Cano and will definitely refer friends and family to him!!

He is a very professional and caring physician. He spends time explaining your current situation and possible treatment options, as well as answering your question in terms that is easily understood. I had my first injection for inflammation and swelling surrounding my right sciatic nerve and I can honestly say that this is the first time in years that I have been totally pain free from any back or leg discomfort. He also makes a follow up phone call himself. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Cano was recommended by several friends that got relief from chronic pain. My own experience was great. I had suffered with a chronic pain that did nothing but get worse. Dr. Cano was able to greatly reduce reduce my discomfort and I still have one treatment to go. This is the man to see if you exhausted all other opportunities and are looking for some relief.

I would recommend Dr. Cano. Dr. Cano and his staff are very good and very polite. They had me in and out of my procedure and I didn't even have any numbing medications before coming in. I didn't feel a thing and walked right out after the procedure.
