Dr Cantu is the best doctor. He came into our lives at the worst time possible but has guided us through it. Since the first time we met, I've trusted him with my child's health. He's consistent, honest and trustworthy. I honestly feel like he treats my child as his own. I'm extremely sad that my child will have to transfer to an adult physician but have faith in Dr Cantu's referral.

Dr. Cantu was absolutely amazing, made sure to greet us with a big smile and friendly conversation to ease my 4 year olds nerves. Listened to all of my questions and concerns with great care and patience and there's nothing better that I could have asked for. He truly made a difference with his level of care in making my son very comfortable and open.

Both were pleasant and made my very shy 6 year old son feel comfortable. I must say, Dr. Cantu is very pleasant and his bedside manner is AMAZING. Being a woman of color, I often worry about how my child/ren and I will be perceived. No worries here with Dr. Cantu or the assistant/nurse. My child and I were very comfortable and at ease. Both are sweet caring individuals and we need more people like them in the world today. Excellent job Cook Children's for have these two wonderful people on your team. I would highly recommend Dr. Cantu and yes, I would request him for any future visits if need. Keep up the great work!!!

Dr. Cantu always listens to all of our concerns and values our input as parents. We greatly appreciate the time he takes during each visit. We never feel rushed and he makes us feel like our child is the most important patient at the time. So very, very grateful for Dr. Cantu! Kaitlin, RD was also very helpful during our visit. She took lots of time to listen and come up with a plan for our child. She valued our input as parents and was willing to try some different things. Such a professional and showed great care and concern! We love the GI clinic and the amazing care they have given (Patient) over the years!

The whole staff at cooks was amazing from from the lady who gave us directions in the parking lot and everyone else we came in contact with along the way. Dr. Cantu listened to all my concerns, and as the first Doctor Who is actually doing their best to help my daughter. The whole staff was so sweet and very helpful. Everybody in the outpatient lab was awesome as well. Did very good helping my daughter, get her labs drawn and making it as easy as possible for her because she was very scared.

Dr. Cantu was fantastic. He was so thorough in covering what was a relatively common thing he sees but he definitely could understand why we wanted more information. He spoke to my son and myself and described things in a way that an 8 year old could understand. I really enjoyed seeing him. The nurse that checked us in was also great along with the phlebotomist. I have nothing but good things to say about everyone we interacted with!
