I highly recommend Dr. John Cannizzaro. I have had him perform surgery on me and I will not go anywhere else. He is the only one I will let treat my orthopedic needs. Very skilled and a great person. It helps me feel comfortable knowing I am in his care. I recommend him to anyone. He is up front with everything. Great surgeon and very knowledgeable.

Dr Cannizzaro has a very good bed side manner. He has a calming tone and demeaner about him. He does not have the God like complex like other orthopedist that I have seen. He comes across as humble yet confident. I would recommend Dr. Cannizzaro to anyone.
