Should have written this several years ago. I was examined in Jacksonville,Fl at Baptist Hospt. By Dr Cannestra. It was the 1st time I was able to use time to remember all the back injuries I had---being a Nurse nearly 30 years then. No surgery was needed.
The bad reviews 99% are bc of the front desk staff it’s not the surgeon people are complaining about. He’s only 1 that ever helped my pain.
The Jupiter location is absolutely beautiful. The Good DoctorConstantly interrupted me? I've investigated him. Dr CannestraHas two illegitimate children paid for by Medicaid. How does he get away with this crime? Yes his squeeze lived with him over 10 years, claiming living elsewhere the entire time. He has or did have 3 houses.. One in Hawaii? Well everyone paying taxes paid for his two latest illegitimate children. Now he's left her high and dry after never marrying her. In Florida he gets off Scott free! The IRS might be ... read more
Best of the best! I tried everything from therapy to chiro to shots. Doc C performed surgery on Noth my lower lumbar and my cervical and I'm so much better. Can do whatever I want now. Staff when Doc was at Lyerly was horrible but I understand he is no longer at Lyerly. If the new assistants offer goid customer service you should absolutely not consider any other Neurosurgeon. He is the top of the top!
Dr. Cannestra is a very amazing, heartful, and Godsent neurosurgeon. He knows exactly my back pain issue and ordered a CT scan and other tests that took me about a year before offering me a treatment. My fusion back surgery in 2006 failed back syndrome has caused me very miserable back pain on my lumbar and a half body on my right due to my severely pinched L4-5 nerves. The pain got worse and I was difficult to walk. I had to admit to the ER and Dr. Cannestra performed a surgery to save me. Although it was right before Chris... read more
This Doctor, along with his entire staff are all useless, every single one of them. Here’s why: March 10, 2023 I was informed by staff that the doctor would review my mri images to see if I would be a candidate for surgery. Initially Was told that their office does not accept insurance and that the cost per visit would be $1000, I asked if there would be a way to have the doctor review the images without a formal visit and was told by staff that they would not charge me to have the doctor review the images, which i was grate... read more
Dr Cannestra performed three Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF) operations on my spine, and after 30 Physical Therapy sessions, I still limp, have significant pain in the lower right lumbar area and have to use a cane to support back and upright walking. Additionally, I was never contacted for follow-up consult by the surgeon; only by his PA. I agree with the many previous patients who had difficulty reaching admin contacts in Dr. Lyerly’s office. On January 24, 2023,, Dr. Lyerly left his practice at Lyerly and on the s... read more
I was told that Dr. Cannestra wouldn't see me unless I had very current MRIs - cervical, thoracic AND lumbar. So, even though my previous MRIs were only about 18 months old, I went through the process (and expense!) AGAIN. Appointment was supposed to be online (Zoom or whatever they use). I did everything they asked - paperwork, MRIs, referral, and waited for my appointment. Nothing. Got a phone call a few minutes after my appointment time. NOT from the doctor. Scheduling called and said the doctor had looked at my MRIs and ... read more
Caused permanent nerve damage because of negligence. Extremely difficult to communicate with and consequently extended the length of time that the nerve was being compressed...according to the Mayo neurosurgeon that I consulted afterwards. Arrogant and condescending. Go elsewhere.
