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.

The one to have on your team
Incredibly personable and knowledgeable, he’s not one to cut first and ask questions later. He truly wants what’s best for you, and when called upon , has the skill and experience to provide relief. I couldn’t imagine not having him and his team in my corner.

Did my shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator. As it was a severely torn cuff, he was unable to repair it but cleaned the joint up so well I have full range of motion! He’s a miracle worker!

George is the go-to Dr. when it comes to orthopedic issues. He is to the point in his explanations and has a way of communicating that you remember everything he tells you. He's helped me with multiple orthopedic issues.

For over 2 years Dr Canizares helped me put off knee replacement .We did several rounds of shots which reduced the pain substantially. When I could no longer stand the pain we scheduled the surgery He and his team did a great job of getting me ready for surgery .The exercises he recommended really helped my recovery .The day of surgery he made me feel very relaxed and confident .He and his team in the operating room did a great job In 7 weeks walking perfectly NO PAIN BOB D treasure island

Best mannered Dr. that I have ever used. He is the reason I have full motion . fealing and strength back in both arms. And Dr Pagano gave me almost full motion in my neck after he put in a plate & 6 screws for C-4 C-5. C-6. Won't go anywhere else

Iwould have to say he is one of the best doctors I am ever gone to We will do whatever it takes to make it were you can walk again Will have to say I had a serious problem I had to have 3 surgeries at the time my primary would not listen to what he said in my legs kept getting infected if it wasn't for doctor Canizares, I probably would not be walking today although I do need to have surgery It scares me to death because of all the problems I've had in leg But I trust him with my life the best.

The care I received from Dr. Canizares and his staff was outstanding! Very kind and considerate. Shoulder surgery was scary, but they made me comfortable and relatively pain free. They worked around my schedule and needs.
