Dr Cantrell is very attentive and has a very caring/compassionate DR. He makes great explanations of all my options
Great doctor. Cares about his patients. Did excellent job on my shoulder. Would not consider any one else for my other shoulder.
Thank you
He took his time and explained everything to to both my son and I.
Always a professional
Dr Cantrell did knee surgery on me. He was soft spoken straight to the point person. Took the time to ask questions on how I was doing. Seems to care about the patient and just the numbers. Highly recommended Dr Cantrell!!!
Very polite!!!
I just love Dr Cantrell! Great personality and he has done surgery on my shoulder and knee!
Doctor Cantrell IS the best in the valley! My son is seeing him for elbow pain since baseball. Doctor Cantrell is very thorough and is very good with how he approaches each case and does what is in the best interest of the patient 100% of the time. He personally did my labrum/capsule repair on 12/18/2023 and I’m fully healed and feel better than I did before my tear. Cantrell is worth every penny! Blessed to have him and my son in his care!
