Dr Gary Canner is a simply a great docter and healer. If you want to get better, he's your guy. He will do his best to see you whenever possible so you may need to be patient. It is worth the wait. He has treated me since the 1980's and now treating my son. I wouldn't trust anyone more than Dr. Canner.

I had my left ankle reconstructed (1987) and my right rotator cuff (2009) operated on. I had no issues since the operations.

This doctor does not want to have anything to do with you unless you have a sports related injury. I waited for an hour for an appointment, while i could hear him in the hallway outside the room I was in, talking football with another doctor. But if you love football, he will love you.

Had three knee ligaments surgically repaired by local surgeon. Terrible results and lots of pain and swelling. Had them redone by Dr. Canner, awoke in recovery no pain, no swelling. I was so amazed at the difference.Had perfect results and have seen him several more times for other knee.

I have been a patient of Dr Canner for 24 years with numerous sports related injuries. Doc has always been honest with me and my repairs have been 100%. I highly recommend Dr Canner to anyone with knee or shoulder injuries.

Unbelievable! My daughter attended two appointments, and had to wait over an hour both times. Dr. Canner would not allow her to ask questions, instead he cut her off explaining he had a lot to say and he was busy. When she made a comment about the wait at the second appointment, he was so kind to give her a lecture on how great of a doctor he is, and basically she just has to wait if she wants to be treated by him. He may be a skilled surgeon, but he is not a "Good" doctor. Somewhere along the line he seems to have forgotten that his role is to "care" for the patient, and they are the ones paying his salary. Very disappointed.
