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.

Professional, efficient, capable is an understatement, educated, experienced, stamina for those long days, bilingual… what more can you ask for?

I recently had a complicated surgery by Dr. Canning. He was very caring, knowledgeable, and listened to my concerns. I felt confident in him from my first visit. He did an excellent job and I am recovering nicely. Have already recommended him to others.

About Me

care philosophy

As a General Surgeon, I understand the anxiety associated with making a decision for surgery and try to make my patients as comfortable as possible both with their decision and their recovery process.
