Dr Cantor is good and responsive but sometimes I feel she lacks some medical knowledge from the conversations I had earlier.

Dr. Cantor is kind, knowledgeable, realistic, collaborative and supportive. We are lucky to have her as our child's pediatrician. She looks at things from all angles and is very wholistic in her approach to children/families.

Dr. Cantor is a highly professional pediatrician. We are her patient for a few years, and can't be more satisfied. Always so pathient, caring, and generally pleasant person. Somehow, with all her patients she remember to ask about some details from previous visits. Our daughter loves her and happy to go visit the office when It's needed.
