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. Canaday has no equal in his knowledge of, or ability to communicate, or concern of cardiac matters or patients .I have told several other heart patients that he is the best.

We've never met a more caring and compassionate Dr. Than Dr. Canaday. He has such an amazing Love for Life itself that he extends to his patients. My Husband Lonnie has been seeing Dr. Canaday for 17 years. Lonnie has been through 27 stents and 7 heart attacks and he is still doing well. Dr. Canaday has always given Hope and encouragement even when other Dr's said there was no more hope for him. If I was to ever recommend a cardiologist to anyone it would be Dr. Donald Canaday. We are Deeply Grateful for the years he has given my husband and the genuine Love and compassion he has so graciously shown us over the years. Sincerely Lonnie and Melissa.
