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.

Thorough questioning. Listened attentively to my description of issues I had.

Best News
I had a burning pain on my thigh and doctors could not tell me what I had. David listened to my thigh issues and diagnosed me and I am starting my meds. Thank you David for finally giving me piece of mind. You are the best and really show how much you care about your patients.

The Best care & understanding I’ve had in McAllen
My painful condition was given the care & concern I have needed for months. Above & Beyond the call of duty knowing how crowded the waiting room was & the schedule for surgery. I can now exhale knowing I will be getting my life back. Can never thank them enough for the professionalism shown to me. The entire Team is a well oiled machine. Thanks & Gratitude

David Cantu was very attentive to what I went in for. He not only took the time to listen and answer my questions, but he clearly explained my condition and gave me a treatment plan that helped alleviate my pain at the moment along with suggestions and direction for future treatment. From my experience, I believe he would do an outstanding job for all his patients.
