Dr. Kanner was very friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable and super patient. He has taken the time to explain things to me very clearly. He was sensitive and wanted to ensure I'm not needlessly alarmed. He made me feel like I was the only patient he had, when clearly he has a thriving practice. I'd strongly recommend him to others.

Dr. Kanner is an excellent doctor. But I waited an excessive time. I waited 2 hours before I saw the doctor. My appt. was 11:15. I didn't leave there until after 2:00.

Dr. Kanner is an excellent doctor. But I waited an excessive time. I waited 2 hours before I saw the doctor. My appt. was 11:15. I didn't leave there until after 2:00.
Three thigs stood out: Zocdoc had inaccurate insurance information, stating that this doctor is in my network, but he is not. Two, the assistant, though she did her job properly and was very nice, said that she is refusing the Covid-19 vaccination. I was quite uncomfortable with that. Three, the several waiting times after the appointment started, waiting for the doctor himself, was excruciatingly long. I spent three hours there and had to get up and walk around to keep from getting stiff.
Polite ,concerned about my situation, and just understanding that what I had to say about what I was going thru and keeping me with the same medication that I explained to was the medication I knew kept me functioning and most of all he listened

Excellent

Doctor is ok, but wait to time was almost 2 hours. Supportive personal wasn’t very helpful and friendly. They wanted to charge me before the visit what is unusual and weird. Bad customer service. Had to stay in 3 different lines. Probably wouldn’t go to this office again.
Very professional
Very pleasant and polite

Dr. Kanner was great, very informative and thorough. I felt great leaving his office knowing I had found the right doctor for me.
Verified patient
He took the time to help me understand my condition and was able to refer me to a colleague who was more knowledgeable with my condition for treatment the same day. I was very happy with him & his colleague.
Verified patient
Dr. Kanner is a very well-versed physician with great bedside manner. He does not rush to get to the diagnosis and takes his time explaining his thought process. Dr. Kanner ensured I was well informed during each diagnostic test and took his time to explain all possibilities of treatments.
Verified patient
He is not good and all the stuff are unkind specifically with the elders, but they ( stuff) are so freandly to each other, but not even a smile to the patients, that's what I observed while I was waiting to get my turn, dr wasn't helpful at all
Verified patient
He is a meticulous doctor. He asked all the necessary questions in order to try to diagnose my illness. He took the time to ask the questions and listen carefully and make sure that what I said was 100% what I felt. At the end he asked if I had any more questions. I like his style. Highly recommended.
Verified patient
First time visit to check my teenager's eyes. Dr. Kanner was so professional and he explained every single thing he was about to do and why. Very knowledgeable, kind and friendly.
Verified patient
Great
Verified patient
He seems confident and experienced
Very good.
Verified patient
Almost a two hour wait. I don't see a good reason for a wait that long in a non-emergency office, where I had an appointment. Maybe the doctor simply thinks that his time is much more important than the patient's.
