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. Canes treated me for prostate Cancer. He came highly recommended by a good friend and I am so glad I made that descion. He took the time to explain everything, the good the bad and the ugly. He is professional, curtious, great bedside manner. The procedure was a great sucess. As of today, I am 9 months cancer free and back to living life to the fullest. I highly recommend Dr. Canes and can't say enough great things about him and his staff.

September 29th, I had prostate surgery at the Lahey Hospital. Dr.David Canes performed my surgery, a total success! He explained the process before hand, did exactly what he said he would do. His staff was there after my procedure to explain my recovery. They are the most wonderful doctors I have been involved with, bar none. As polite and helpful as could be! I would recommend the to all who have an issue. From admittance to leaving the entire Lahey staff was there for me at any request! Thank you Dr. Canes, I am now cancer free!!! What a wonderful feeling. I would surely recommend him and his staff.

Dr. Canes has a very caring bedside manner, is extremely knowledgeable, and made my husband (and myself) feel my husband was in the best care possible. Getting a diagnosis of having prostrate cancer is not easy for the patient nor the family of the patient but Dr. Canes made us feel more and more comfortable before, during and after my husbands surgery. Dr. Canes is honest, down to earth, caring and he took his time to answer all of our questions. We would recommend Dr. Canes to anyone that needs his expertise. He truly is amazing. Thank you very much Dr. Canes!

Dr. Canes is an outstanding physician, extremely competent and kind. If you have any nervousness about seeing a urologist then you should see Dr. Canes. He will put you at ease and remove any doubts you may have about how he will treat your condition. I had large kidney stones removed by him and I had no pain at all. I recently had a cystoscopy done by him and again, no pain and a very thorough procedure.

In early June 2021, a prostate biopsy confirmed that I had localized prostate cancer, gleason 9. I had to choose radiation or surgery. Being a medical professional, a doctor myself, I consulted with radiologists, surgeons & oncologists. I was most impressed with Dr. David Canes, a surgeon at Lahey Urology. He was comfortable to be with, explained, answered questions, had done a vast number of these surgeries, great patient reviews & recommended by his peers. My surgery was in August at Parkland Medical Center in Derry NH, which I recommend. When it comes to a caring bedside manner, Dr. Canes has it in spades. Of all of his attributes, surgical skill is most important. My surgery went extremely well. He was able to save the nerves, no incontinence, erections returning. The biopsy showed stage 2, gleason 9, but self contained, no lymph node involvement, clean surgical margins. The best possible news! Excellent surgeon! I will be forever grateful, & recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Canes performed a robotic prostatectomy to remove my extremely enlarged prostate gland. He was very thorough and responsive to my questions when explaining my surgery options. He was friendly and positive in all my interactions with him. I knew he was looking out for my best interests. The surgery was a complete success and he was great with the aftercare and explaining the results. He is a consummate professional and obviously loves his work. The surgery dramatically improved my quality of life. Anyone should feel privileged to have him as their surgeon.

I met Dr canes and his staff after I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in late 2019 by Lahey medical. His staff made my wife and I very comfortable with all the steps we were to take up to surgery and all my follow ups after. The nurses at his office were very prompt in returning calls and answering questions as well although some of the questions were quite personal to me they handled them with ease. My wife and I researched who we wanted to do the procedure and where as well and Dr Canes was my only choice. Very professional , knowledgeable and easy to talk too. We made the right decision on Dr Canes and his expertise on robotic surgery. Highly recommend. thank you

Dr Canes performed simple robotic prostatectomy to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate I’ve suffered from for years. I felt prepared for the procedure by clear descriptions provided by Dr Canes and on his website videos. Indeed, despite discomfort in the week following surgery primarily from my catheter, I experienced measurably improved urinary function in a few weeks. The nursing staff of Lahey Urology at Parkland was caring and efficient throughout the treatment. I am pleased and comfortable with the results.

I was diagnosed with stage three prostate cancer in April 2021. I met with multiple surgeons and decided to have Dr Canes perform the prostatectomy. I chose Dr. Canes due to the recommendation by my PCP, excellent reviews by others, and the fact that he’s performed over 2000 prostatectomies. I had prostate surgery in June 2021. Dr. Canes also repaired my umbilical hernia at the same time. I stayed one night in the hospital. My pain level was very manageable. Two weeks after the surgery, I had control of my bladder during the day and a little leakage at night. After two months, I had full control of my bladder with no leakage and my PSA results showed zero cancer I am very grateful to Dr. Canes for the excellent outcome and wonderful care I received from him and his team. Thank you Dr. Canes.

I was referred to Dr. Cannes in February 2021 after a prostate cancer diagnosis. He instilled confidence in me through his experience, depth of knowledge, and resources made available to help me understand my diagnosis, treatment options, and outcome probabilities. His web-based resources are outstanding in their description o robotic-assisted surgery. The level of care provided by Dr. Cannes and his staff before, during, and after surgery were compassionate and of the highest quality.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March of 2021. A month later Dr. Canes performed a robotic prostatectomy on me at the Parkland Medical Center in Derry, NH. I have made a quick recovery and am extremely pleased with the outcome. Dr. Canes and staff were both caring and informative from my initial diagnosis to my post-op appointments. The staff at Parkland was excellent also. I highly recommend consulting with Dr. Canes if one has been diagnosed as having prostate cancer.
