Dr. Cannestra has been the best doctor for my issues. Very professional and very patient with every questions I had. He replaced both my knees a few years ago now and I’m doing very well. I’ve been going to him for 25 years. I’m sad to see him go but wish him the best with his retirement.

Dr. Cannestra is very thorough with your visit. He doesn’t rush through the appointment and gives you options. We have been going to him for about 15 years. We’re sorry that he is retiring but wish him the best of luck and health in his new adventures.

I been a patient of Dr. Cannestra when he was at Midwest Bone and was pleased with his treatments and knowledge for a fractured foot and torn ligament on my right foot. This is my first visit with him at Fox Valley Orthopedic. His staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Being the first time here we’ll see how it goes with my experiences for this location.
