Doctor Cannon is the finest doctor I have ever known.
Dr Cannon is not only a fantastic surgeon, but he is an incredibly empathetic doctor. He truly understands that this is the most scary time of your life. I had a million and one questions, down to whether or not cosmetic procedures could fix any potential complications. He answered them all with no judgement. I always felt like I was his number one focus when meeting in person or on the phone. I felt safe and comfortable in his care and I really cannot recommend him enough. On top of that, my surgery was very successful and his care has left me feeling optimistic for full recovery.
As always, Dr. Cannon is a careful and compassionate physician. Entire staff was efficient.

My experience as a whole was amazing. My only suggestion is that when family is in the waiting room during surgery - that someone would come speak with them about the outcome once it has been completed. This didn't happen and my husband was left in the dark until the nurse in recovery called to say they were taking me to my room.
I am truly grateful for Dr Cannon's skill and compassion.

Dr. Richard B. Cannon is the most outstanding and stellar doctor that I have ever seen. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable of what he does. I am so thankful that I have put my care in his and his teams hands.

Dr. Cannon is amazing! Knowledgeable, personable and humorous! Everything you want in your doctor!
My cancer issue was explained to me so I could understand
Doctor Cannon spent the time to discuss the options for my cancer situation. He described recovery timelines, pros and cons for each procedure. I felt informed about the decision to have surgery instead of chemo&radiation. Still feel we made the best choice.
#1 doctor on your staff
This was the visit where I feel like I was finally heard about my leg wound not healing. It is frustrating that it took the wound getting to this point (where it smelled bad) for the lack of healing to be taken seriously.
I appreciate Dr Cannon. I know he runs behind because he spends a lot of time with his patients. He spent almost 25 minutes with me on this day.
Dr. Cannon is the best. Knowledgable and empathetic. If only all doctors were like him!
Everything was really great they talked to me in words you can understand and not doctor lingo as most do. He explained everything and showed us everything. The whole staff was very friendly with awesome bedside manor.
