If you have someone in your family that has a history of depression and have tried to harm themselves PLEASE DO NOT bring them to this man! My mom not long ago tried to go to a group meeting to get out of the house and have some interaction with people (which was an amazing accomplish on her part) she use to be his patient as well. His bedside manner, if you want to call it that, is atrocious! Yelling at her in front of patients/family members of patients/workers. I'm sorry but you do not treat mentally ill people like that especially from a doctor that she had really liked. It was truly embarrassing for her and as our own family members witnessed as well.

Dr. Cantu is great but the office staff is horrible. You can never get anyone on the phone when there is a problem. Always have to leave messages and PRAY they call you back.

a doctor should be able to do more than just medicate patient. when a doctor is not interested in talking to a daughter about her 90yr old mother regarding her treatment plan especially when the 90yr old patient does not even understand shes having a problem. SOMETHING IS WRONG. A DEGREE WITHOUT COMPASSION IS THE WORST THING A DOCTOR CAN HAVE.YOU ARE NOT GOD MR.CANTU,HUMBLE YOURSELF. WHO OVER MEDICATES A 90YR OLD? WHO DOES THAT? THIS EXPERIENCE WAS UNBELIEVABLE!!!
