    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.

    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.

I feel empowered again and I cannot thank Dr. Cantu and her amazing team enough!!
