Dr. Cabezas was recommended by a family member that had a knee replacement. I could not be happier with his office and his skills. I could tell he is very respected at Meritus Hospital where I had surgery and recovery. I recommend him and his staff to anyone that is in need of his surgical skills.

I feel very lucky to have Dr. Cabezas as my doctor. He is very kind and gives me the time I need. I am happy that I don't have to go back to NY to get excellent care, because I can get this care here. I have trust and faith in this practice.

Everyone has been great to me ever since I started coming. My doctor is great he's done my hip, right knee and when it's time my left and probably my right wrist when it gets too bothersome.
