Dr. Cantu was so kind, patient and a wonderful listener. She didn't make me feel like I needed to rush through the questions or my concerns. She made me feel relaxed (which is rare for doc appts) and that I wasn't wrong for asking questions regarding my health. I would recommend her a 1000 times to anyone that's looking for a cardiologist.

This was my first meeting with a new cardiologist after having to change following my cardiologist's moving. I was not currently having any heart issues, but wanted to meet her and establish the doctor/patient relationship. She was very nice, and I think we will be fine.

Dr. Cantu is incredible. She is thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable and willing to discuss all issues and options. She saved my life by thoroughly investigating a tight chest and a tired feeling. She discovered a huge PE and acted with incredible urgency, special care and personal touch.

I moved from LA, where I had an extremely good cardiologist and felt very fortunate. Dr. Cant is just as good. I am fortunate to have her as my doctor and Emory is fortunate to have her on its team. As I said in a previous comment, I am an MD myself, double-boarded in Int Medicine and Psychiatry. I rarely mention this but I do so to provide credence to my evaluation of Dr. Cant.

Dr. Cantu saved my life. She went down a rabbit hole with me and discovered a pulmonary embolism due to COVID. She has listened to EVERY SINGLE CONCERN, and she has mitigated every thing. She talked through everything with me and helped me understand the short, medium and long term plans. Dr. Cantu is not only intelligent, confident, professional, highly adept, she is also kind, warm, human, real, compassionate and empathetic. I feel empowered again and I cannot thank Dr. Cantu and her amazing team enough!!

The Doctor was very informative and asked good questions about my Mother's past health concerns. She sought an alternative to my Moms medications which would be in her best interest for a lowered heart rate.

Dr. Cantu's care is wonderful. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a wonderful bedside manner. Her empathy for the patient experience is greatly appreciated when undergoing a difficult time or learning of bad news. She is the only reason I have my cardiac care done at Emory instead of going to MassGeneral in Boston.
