Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Cannestra has always been professional, patient and understanding. He explains what is happening, provides options and gives an honest opinion. He then encourages me to make a decision based on my situation and comfort level.

Dr Cannestra has replaced one knee and two hips.
I greatly respect his talents as a surgeon and as a doctor who is patient and willing to talk with me as to options of care. I recently saw him regarding a tendonitis in my left hip. We discussed best options of care and I decided what would work for me at this time.

Total knee replacement had severe pain during phys therapy right after surgery with the home therapist, made an appointment, and told him. My sister had her friend, a retired ortho surgeon who told me I had a tear. I told this to Dr. Cannestro, Had pain for weeks, and told Dr. Cannestra. He ignored it. I showed him a video of my knee not tracking, he dismissed me. On my last visit, he asked if I wanted to have the surgery again. I find I have partial quadriceps rupture which could have been repaired if he had listened to me, but now it is too late. He does not listen to his patients.

I had never met Dr. Cannestra before going to OrthoFirst at Fox Valley Orthopedics in Geneva 8/2/21 for pain in my hip & top of thigh. I have been treated at FVO for about 25 years for various joint pains. He reviewed X-rays and determined it wasn’t a hip problem. He sent me for X-rays on my back & diagnosed back issues. He listened, examined, questioned, diagnosed & explained. He prescribed physical therapy & Ibuprofen. Exactly the experience I had hoped for.

I have seen Dr. Cannestra for many years for various problems. He offers options for what can be done to solve a problem. When he sends you to PT, he fully expects you to do your exercises! Good sense of humor. Very caring doctor.

Dr. Cannestra is friendly and very caring. He answers all of your questions and is very truthful. After a total knee replacement I only had to do 3weeks of therapy but I was doing water exercises before my surgery. He is very good at what he does but you have to do your part to heal and do the daily exercises!
