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.

This was my first visit to Dr, Kanik, as Dr. Cotter changed positions. I would expect upon meeting a new patient, the doctor would introduce himself, say hello, make a litle effort to make some small talk and try to establish some rapport. None of this happened.

Again, I got squeezed in, and some of the answers were a little rushed. I presented with something new (a rash on my back along with my chronic and severe cough) and I don't think it actually got addressed. But again I appreciate being seen so promptly.

Doctor was nice and well dressed. I felt like he was just there to get a paycheck. Did not even look at the vitals done by the nurse until I said something

Dr. Kanik diagnosed my condition within 10 minutes but waited for the bloodwork to verify. I had gone to the ER the previous day in great pain and after CTs and bloodwork, they didn't know what the problem was and refered me to my PCP. I'm glad it's Dr. Kanik.

He is no longer at this location and is no longer affiliated with Vallley View Medical Center. Heard they did not renew his services, no other information was given.

He may have a medical degree but no calendar in his fancy ergonomic desk he wheels around, he made my follow up visit 4 days AFTER my prescription ran out. Called and asked for a refill until my appointment ( nothing exciting COPD) they said walk in again, I told them I would not be back firing him then the office called and said he wont be seeing you as a patient, newsflash can't fire me when I have already fired you. Lots of ego's but the parking lot is always empty hummmmm

A very professional provider. Obviously well qualified and a good listener. Impressed with the amount of time spent with the Dr., who listened and asked me the right questions, in an effort to establish the base for a new patient. Very up to date with newest technology, and medicine.

It was a struggle finding a Dr. we both like here and we are very happy to have found Dr. Kanik. One of the things we like best about him is that he really listens to what is going on with each patient. It makes us feel as if he really cares about how we feel about our health issues. I will recommend him to anyone.

It, was such a pleasure to meet Dr. Kanik. Finally a Physician that listens, involves me in my Healthcare. I am a Diabetic in poor control by my own standards. He changed a few medications, LOWERED my insulin, which helped my symptons, and numbers improve, WOW ! He listens, makes sure you understand the plan. Staff is also very helpful and pleasant. Office is very clean, it is nice to walk into a profession office, here in BHC. Being a retired Nurse, I highly recommend Dr. Kanik and staff
