Tim Canty, MD

I’ve been treated by Dr. Canty for 8 months so far. I’ve had an epidural, 3 nerve blocks and an infusion for my diagnosis of RSD. Dr. Canty and his staff are professional and great. I would recommend him to family and friends. He listens to you and gives you options for treatment that you feel comfortable with. For people with RSD, please call him and let him discuss your options. He has numerous locations throughout the five boroughs and Nassau County which is very convenient.

NO STARS! Be very aware if you are having a procedure that you are properly sterilized
I was not. I now am dealing with recovery from SPINAL MENINGITIS. I almost died. When my sister called Canty to tell him I was in ICU QUARANTINE HE SAID, «that happens.» Not in my world… I cannot believe Unilocal won’t post this unless I leave a star!

Highly Recommend! This place is amazing and professional. The treatment that I was given was explained to me thoroughly, and I was left feeling confident and comfortable about my decision to choose this pain center. I wasn’t misguided into more expensive treatments or asked to come back for numerous superfluous visits. I’ve had that experience before and it can be so frustrating. Dr. Canty listened carefully to what I had to say and thoughtfully composed some treatment options for me while stating the pros and cons. This is an honest place that helped me so much. Can’t say thanks enough!

Tim Canty is an excellent doctor with a professional and caring staff. I’ve had intense chronic upper back pain for a while and have been to many doctors — Dr. Canty is the only doctor who got to the root of the problem and helped me get better. I’m not pain free, but the pain itself is much less severe after being treated. I also have to add that even though his office is always full, I have never had to wait for a long time to be seen. I highly recommend this doctor!

Receptionist staff leaves a lot to be desired. Luckily the PA and nurse we’re excellent as well as the doctor himself. Stay tuned for update on success or failure of treatment!

When I ended up in a bad place with my health, I stumbled upon Dr. Canty. He has been one of the most efficient and honest Doctors I’ve ever had. He keeps up to date on advancements in his field. He’s not against changing the ways he practices by using those new techniques. He has soooo many options to offer other than stuffing the patient full of drugs. He takes care of you and always makes sure your comfortable. He also urges you at times to get a second opinion, not because he doesn’t trust himself either. He also magically knows about tests and procedures other doctors don’t seem to know about, even tests that may be specifically related to their own field! I refer him to all of my friends and my spouse is happily a patient as well. I’ve been disabled due to my condition for so long. I have so much hope that I will quickly recover with Dr. Canty. A+!

I have been suffering from chronic nerve pain in my abdominal wall for almost 8 years. The last nut I saw wanted to cut open my stomach, find the nerve and chop it. Can I add that the last NUT told me this with his back turned to me.
I am not cured but Dr. Canty is by far the most professional doctor I have seen to date. He seems to genuinely care about me. Bedside manner is totally professional. He promised we are going to work together to help me live a normal life and I believe he will come through for me. I have faith in him. Office is clean and nice. Staff is okay.
Hi folks its Sept 2015,
Well, as hard as Dr. Canty has tried I am still in debilitating pain. I am currently thinking of a pain stimulator. Looking for reviews on that. I certainly love the fact that Dr. Canty is still working with me and seems to have a general concern for my well being.

Dr Canty came highly recommended from my chiro and he didn’t disappoint. Professional and straight to the point kind of doctor

For anyone that needs a great back doctor or pain management specialist, I can’t stress how much Tim Canty has helped me, including a diagnosis on my facet joints (which proved true) that no other doctor had considered previously He provided great non-​surgical relief via facet joint injections and a plan for a longer term non-​surgical solution on it. He’s a cutting edge, outside of the box thinker.

After 10 years of chronic pain that has inhabited every aspect of my daily life, I had given up the idea that I would ever truly be in remission from that pain. I had given up many things I loved to do, and struggled to maintain the active lifestyle I had embraced before my symptoms began. I had gone from being a competitive marathoner to someone that couldn’t sit in a chair for more than 30 minutes without experiencing excruciating pain. In that period I’ve seen many competent, highly respected doctors in many different specialties. Every single one of them misdiagnosed my injury. I had even had surgery to no avail. Good doctors make mistakes. Dr. Canty is more than a good doctor. He is exceptional. As a medical student, I’m surrounded by doctors on a daily basis, and I can tell you that Dr. Canty is special. His staff is extremely professional and every aspect of my interaction with his office exceeded my expectations.

I came to Dr Canty for a second opinion. He took the time to explain my condition and the options available (and not available). Found him to be patient and honest in his assessment. I highly recommend.
