I went to him years ago as a teenager. He excessively exposed me during an exam and did not provide modesty. There was a paper gown, but it was removed at some point during the exam and I was 100% nude lying on the table. He made me feel extremely uncomfortable and degraded, but I could not voice this because I didn't know what to do. I didn't know I had rights and could request that a doctor cover me up. Doctor's are suppose to properly cover patients, and it was such a negative experience for me that some 7 years later I am still thinking about the situation.

So relieved to find such a great doctor. I've only had trouble getting an appt once and that was bc it was an appt requiring more time, which is completely understandable. I have never felt rushed and he gives you his 100% attention while with you. Exceptional bedside manner with both parent and child.

Dr. Cantrell is a FANTASTIC pediatrician! He was mine as a child and now cares for my daughter as well. I will continue taking any future children to him as long as he continues his practice!

Dr. Cantrell is caring, funny and extremely knowledgeable. He has over 30 years of experience in the field, he is an expert in ADHD and behavioral disorders, and very passionate about his job. Not to mention he has children of his own :-) I highly reccomend Dr. Cantrell. If you remember when family doctors came to your home, you will appreciate this doctor. He has all the experience of a doctor from long ago, and is modern as well. All four of my children go to Dr. Cantrell!

Dr. Cantrell cares about kids. He loves his job and takes time with your child and with you. He never tries to rush you out of the office like some doctors do, and always explains everything so that you will understand everything that is going on. All four of my children see him and they all feel at ease in his office. Dr. Cantrell is also an expert on ADHD and ADD. Do your children right and bring them to dr. C :-)
