Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent, caring doctor who will listen and help
I have been a patient of Dr Canlas for about six months now. I am a medical professional and am very careful when choosing a doctor. I have a medical condition that is very difficult to treat. I was impressed that Dr Canlas took the time to learn about my condition, which is new to most doctors. He put great thought into what he could do, and worked with me to help me in any way he could. I highly recommend him because he will take the time to explain your condition and work with you to improve your health. He does not rush and is very patient when I ask him questions. He was able to tell me the foods I could eat that would help me improve my blood work. He gave me ideas of how I could use the foods so I could make them part of my diet. Dr Canlas is one of the rare doctors today who will take the time to provide the care that many need and do not always get. I am very grateful that he is one of my doctors. His wife is also excellent and very kind.

Best doctor I have been to
To put simply, I was blown away by the amount of care Dr. Jolly and his wife put into their practice and their patients. I have never felt more cared for and heard by a doctor in my life. I am so grateful to have found them. I will only be going here from now on and no longer wasting my time with st Luke’s or lvhn. The appointment could have moved me to tears of relief after years of other doctors brushing me off and not listening. Thank you Dr. Jolly for your time and sharing your knowledge!

Dr. and Mrs. Canlas are the best doctors ever!!! He will always try to correct an issue through natural and holistic methods first. Change of diet or a vitamin or supplement.. I'm 50 years old and not on any prescription meds. He goes above and beyond for his patients. My parents and I have gone to him for many many years. He makes me want to be a better person and take care of myself and my health. The joke in our house when we have a super healthy dinner is "This is a Dr. Canlas approved meal!"

Dr Canlas and his staff are a superb example of modern medicine treating causes of illness using the best methods available. So whether its vitamin or mineral related, needs acupuncture or antibiotics he will find the best path to a cure.

I've been visiting Dr. Canlas for many years. He was a GREAT doctor up until recently. Every time I come now, he closes the door and tries to convert me to his religion, saying that all the problems I have with my health is because I don't pray to the right god. He also tries to sell you (although, politely) some questionable herbal meds. Not to mention that during visits he keeps pushing his political views and starts to argue with you if you disagree. The staff are THE BEST THOUGH.
