I have seen Dr. Kanter since 2000. I am Bipolar 1, mixed state, rapid cycling. He has been excellent at stabilizing me with medications so that I have had a fairly normal and productive life. He is spot on in his diagnostic capabilities.

Wish I could give home more than 5 stars. Really explains things well without being condescending.

Dr. Kanter treated me during our six years in Gainesville. Over a number of years with moves I have had three doctors. Dr. Kanter is the class of the field, although the other two were also excellent. We may move back to Gainesville and I hope to connect with him again. I recommend him because he is so accurate in his diagnosis, as it turns out, very human with a great manner and completely worthy of a patient's trust. He is very real and makes things easy to understand.

Dr. Kanter is an amazing Psychiatrist. He really cares for his patients and he understands how to provide the best care for my relative. I have not had to worry about the level of care for my relative since she started seeing him. My family and I thank Dr. Kantor for all he has been able to do to better our lives.
