      Dr Cantor is is always so kind and patient. We've noted annual visits have become more impersonal, rushed to discuss the bare minimum.

      Dr. Cantor is a wonderful pediatrician. She is always thorough and she understands how a child's development is affected by his ADHD. We're very grateful that we have been able to have her care and guidance from newborn to our child's teenage years.

      My husband and I love Dr. Cantor. We appreciate her wisdom and care for our son. She takes time to answer all of our questions and we walk out feeling confident about our son's health. She's the absolute best and we are so blessed to be under her care.

      We do not typically see Dr. Cantor (Dr. [ ] is our typical physician) but needed to have a well visit for school sports so we saw the first physician available. It was evident that Dr. Cantor had spoken with Dr. [ ] about my daughter prior to the visit. My daughter thought Dr. Cantor was very nice.

      Dr. Cantor made my child feel very comfortable as it was his first visit with her. I am very grateful for that because he tends to get anxious about doctor visits.

      Dr Cantor is great. She listens to my concerns and investigates, which other PC doctors have not been willing to do. Ordering a stool test is huge and means we don't have to go to a holistic doctor AND a PC for our daughter's care anymore.
