Dr. Cantrell has been a blessing. His compassion and genuine concern and dedication to his patients is something not always found in the medical field. He and his staff are quick to respond with any questions or concerns about my care and healing process. I am grateful for such amazing care and support.
Dr. Cantrell and staff is always accommodating and very efficient during my Appts
Dr. Cantrell is a professional. He is very thorough and knowledgeable and has helped me through two shoulder surgeries. I trust him to provide the best care for my orthopedic needs. His staff are also extremely courteous and helpful. His office is run very efficiently. I would highly recommend Dr. Cantrell!!!
He was very nice as well as his staff. He didn't just talk he actually listened to my concerns and he came up with a game plan.
He’s giving me the confidence to start pushing in therapy and everyday activities to help take the mental guard down that gets developed after surgery that is a big challenge
