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.

A wonderful doctor, who is timely, quick, and efficient, and still providing outstanding care.

I had a very uncomfortable visit with Dr. Canteri,my first and last. He barged into the room while I was undressing, took a quick look at my skin problem, handed me a brochure and told me it was nothing to worry about. I asked for them to be frozen off which is standard procedure. Before I knew what was happening he shaved one of them off and send it in to pathology which was totally unnecessary. I challenged the bill & they did adj some off. Between his behavior & fees I cannot recommend him.

Dr. Cantieri has always been proactive in giving me medication that will put up the best fight against my difficult skin. I have heard that some people don't relate to his dry sense of humor, but I look forward to seeing him and hearing his jokes! I don't think he likes crabby people. Just be a nice, happy person and you will enjoy his wit and exceptional medical care! There is no one else I would rather have taking care of my needs. 5-stars.

Dr. Cantieri made my 80 year dad wait in his office for 45 minutes with no one coming to tell him what was going on. My dad finally walked out and asked what the wait was for. Apparently they had forgotten all about him. When he finally got to see the doctor, the doctor was very gruff, didn't examine most affected areas, and then prescribed a $200 cream that ended up not doing anything.

I recently accompanied my 90 year old Dad to an appointment with Dr. Cantieri, as he is quite hard of hearing. While I think he performed the appropriate procedure in a timely manner, his bedside manner was rude. At one point, he looked at the healing wounds on my Dad's arm, told him it was all sun damage and tossed his arm back in my Dad's lap. He then left the room and never came back.He was incapable of saying hello or goodbye. It was a very unpleasant experience and we won't be back!

I agree with the other one star reviewers. I would give a zero if I had the choice. I saw him twice and both times the visit took less than a minute. He was completely uninterested in what I had to say. He just checked a box in his Rx and left the room. He is the worst doctor I have ever visited. Very impersonal and unpleasant.

I only gave one star because zero wasn't an option. This is the WORST doctor I have ever seen. Walked in the room for my initial visit, he looked at me for about 3 seconds and wrote a Rx and sent me on my way. I have a lengthy history of trying different products with many allergies, none of which were discussed with me. Find a different doctor because this one won't take the time to evaluate you, listen to you, talk to you, or invest time in your care.

I would give him 0 stars if I could. This was the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. His office staff was friendly and it was very easy to schedule an appointment with Dr. Cantieri. I spent all of two minutes with him. He is very unfriendly and hurried. He didn't tell me what he was prescribing, how to use it, or warn me of any side effects. He had already left the exam room with the door open mid-sentence ,while I was partially dressed. I was shocked at his unprofessionalism.

no nonsense doctor that respects peoples time and provides superior care. I have been a patient for 8 years. Don't go to him if you are needy, want to make small talk and like a lot of attention paid to you.
