I found Dr. Cantlon, to be that rare combination of an exceptionally competent physician as well as a compassionate caregiver. He gives generously of his time while carefully evaluating and thoroughly explaining his medical findings. He takes the time to listen. Dr. Cantlon was very responsive in getting back to me when I left a call back message.Many members of my family are doctors and in my judgment Dr Canton is truly a credit to his profession!!!"
