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.

Do NOT go to this 'doctor'
To be frank, I've never been treated so poorly or dismissively. He actually put his hands in front of my face to stop me from talking. He refused to listen to my symptoms or concerns because he took its as an insult that I had had a test done at a hospital while out of state. He was way more concerned with HIS ego than any symptom or risk factor I was experiencing. I've never, ever been treated so poorly by a physician. Run, don't walk away from this practice. How is his even licensed???

Terrible office staff to match a terrible doctor
This was the third appointment in a row that I could not get in to see the doctor. First appointment was canceled by the office. Second was a computer problem and they expected everyone to wait an hour for the system to come up. Third was another office error. They told me my appointment was at one time when it was really in their books for 30 minutes earlier

I saw Dr. Cantor about a month ago after experiencing symptoms that I thought might indicate heart problems: shortness of breath, dizziness, tingling in my left arm, nausea. Before he even ran tests, he said that according to his excellent skills as a diagnostician, he predicted that I did not have a heart problem. I had an EKG, Echo, Stress Test and Carotid Artery Test. He mentioned some plaque build up in my carotid arteries but indicated that it was not a concern and I should come back in a year. Two weeks ago I had a heart attack while at work. I do not feel that Dr. Cantor took my symptoms and concerns seriously.

No consideration for patient
I’ve been seeing Dr. Cantor for a couple years now and all he has done is pushed nuclear stress test on me and right now I’m in the middle of getting another back surgery another fusion and cannot drive to his office for his service. so he will not issue me any more medication, he rather see me drive in pain and he really doesn’t even check you out that’s not the way a doctor should be. he has no consideration for his patient very sad but his office staff is excellent. I told his staff that I will find another doctor and today I received a certified letter saying that he no longer wants to treat me. Now I’m without my medication.

Went to him with rapid heartbeat that has been going on for years. Dismissed me, would not listen to me. He just told me I was afraid of doctors and my heart rate went up when I went to doctor or hospital. He told me my heart rate dropped but did not check it. He is arrogant, dismissive. I made appointment with a different cardiologist while sitting in Cantor's parking lot. Rushed me through appt, didn't take my blook pressure, or pulse. Cantor and his staff ran out of building as soon as my appt was over. Like they didnt even have time for me.
