He is always patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He's very concerned about his clients. Dr. Carter is very professional and great at what he does. Thankful that he's my doctor.
Dr. Cantrell is always extremely informative of all options for my care. His patience, understanding, and diagnosis are things that I admire in a physician. He did the surgery on my left arm years ago and that is why I am returning to him for the issues with my right arm.
Very kind and respectful he doesn't cut corners. He's straight forward about the problem I would recommend him to anybody that. Needs help. Along as he doesn't suggest going to. Fort payne hospital or any doctor in fort payne which I'm 100% he would never do
Excellent care!
Amazing doctor and staff!!!
Very nice and understanding Doctor. I love how he is always available for me. Great surgeon
Appreciate Dr Cantrell and Kent’s thorough evaluation after X-rays and physical exam ;very efficient team ; And happy to know MRI now on site !
Dr. Cantrell did an amazing job. My knee surgery went perfect. No issues. Recovery went well. Highly recommend.
Explained any and all issues! Communicated that he had a couple of options for treatment. Very satisfied that he was going to fix my shoulder after another surgeon had done a poor job on my previous operation.
The shot is already working! What is it called?
