Personal Approach to Treating Patients:
“I believe that quality of life and mobility go hand in hand. Surgery is an excellent solution for several orthopedic issues, but is sometimes not the only option. My extensive and nationally recognized training has been focused on perfecting surgical treatment of orthopedic problems. I implement all techniques and technologies available, from computer navigation to minimally invasive surgical options. I believe that knowing when not to operate and use alternative therapies is equivalent in its importance. My goal is to understand every patient’s physical demands and requirements in order to develop a solution customized for their unique situation.”

Dr was awesome once I was able to get into an exam room.
I spent a lot of time but got good advice.
Doctor was very helpful
I really like the follow-up work after the surgery. Everyone seems to really care how I'm doing and I appreciate that very much.
Exceptional service, very patient and detailed with me, and explained all of my x-rays I'm feeling very grateful for all his treats to me
Great care!
Thank you so much Dr. McCanbless, your the best.
This Doctor took my case on with short notice and thank god he did. He took over from my hip replacement surgeon who is MIA. In 10 minutes he correctly diagnosed a spin injury that went unnoticed by three other doctors over a ten year period. I am on the brink of major organ failure that he may prevent. I am a very lucky man. Very lucky. This doctor is saving my life.
Thorough, talented, respectful and Competent!
Good listener, explains treatment options clearly.
