Inaccurate, unprofessional and rude. I found a qualified Omaha specialist who quickly discovered a serious life threatning issue requiring immediate surgery.

I am a lung transplant patient and have been followed by Dr. Cantral for about 10 years. He has always been very professional and caring with me.

He was very professional and courteous. Explained things well and made a referral to another doctor (surgeon) who was able to take care of my problem

I had been experiencing cough and shortness of breath for several months. My family Dr had treated me for asthma without any improvement. Dr. Cantrell figured out that my diaphram wasn't working and helped me to be less short of breath. He spent almost half an hour just explaining how I got this.

Have seen this doctor on many occasions in office and in hospital. He has a good sense of humor and put me at ease even though I was dealing with serious health issues.

Wonderful doctor. He saw my mother for a spot on her lung and discovered it to be lung cancer. He saved her life. Highly recommend.
