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.

Dr. Cannady was knowledgeable, patient and very understanding about my issues, especially patient with me as an elder. He explained the path(s) we could take in order to help me. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone, including my loved ones.

Sooooo Good
Loved Dr Cannady. He’s so personable. He explained everything in terms I could understand. I’m so blessed to have ended up in his care. Love the fact that he talks about options for care. He truly was called for this job. If you have knee or hip problems this is who you want to look after you. Thank you Dr Canady.

Dr. Cannady is patient centered. He listens to your concerns and responds accordingly. He explains any procedure you have questions about and allows you to make your own decision on next steps. I respect him for that.

Highly recommend
His office is fast and efficient. I had instant results with him. He's up to date on new technology, medicine , which is important to me. Some doctors are stuck in their ways and not evolving with the times.

Knee and hip issues
From the first phone call, the office staff were great. Very easy to get an appointment, even on short notice if an issue flares up. Dr Cannady listens to and respects his patients concerns and input. Conservative treatment options.

Never does an exam
Dr. Cannady never does a physical exam which should include joint range of motion. He replaced my right hip Dec 2023 and he has never physically touched me except when I was unconscious. I recently went to him about a mass on my left hip and he never even palpated the area. He also says ridiculous things that he seems to have made up without actually trying to clarify what you are actually asking him since he obviously doesn't understand the question when he gives ridiculous answers. Dr. Cannady have you ever heard of an I and D?
