He loves what he does so much. That's the kind of guy I want on my side Sam I Am
Dr. Canizares is awesome. I couldn’t have made a better choice picking him.
Very nice and professional. Highly recommend
Wonderful visit with Dr Canizares today for a shoulder cuff tear. He is very thoughtful and intelligent. Great listener. Highly recommended.
Very thorough and I appreciated the conservative approach and great advice he offered.
Excellent in fixing the problem once diagnosed. Not as great at listening to concerns. Feels like his mind is made up before he leaves the room and not a real solution.
Explained everything well, and made me feel very comfortable
He is the best. Does not push surgery. Excellent bed side manners and listens to you problems before offering a solution.
As always!
I am still in Pain. The pain is all The time can’t walk or stand or sit without aching
