Christopher Abel Cano, MD

The Dr. explained what my problem is and suggested what I had to do to treat it. He spent lots of time with me.

Seeing Dr. Cano was very useful. He suggested a plan that is making a big difference in my life.

Very smart thoughtful doctor

Shares knowledge and listens shows empathy

Dr Cano was excellent in understanding what I need and helping me with my sleep issues. He answered all my questions and I feel very comfortable that he will help me solve my sleep problems.

I felt he didn't watch the clock in bad way but a good way. I felt he would go out of the way for me. Very personal touch providing for my husband and me. A Texas connection

Dr. Cano was on time, respectful, efficient, and kind - I never felt rushed or judged. It was clear that he'd looked through my chart before the appointment, yet he still took a thorough history from me. He read aloud what my referring provider wrote as the reason for referral, and asked if that matched my experience. Then he asked me to share what brought me to the appointment in my own words. He validated my experience and made space for my perspective; I felt supported and never judged. He described his thought process and next steps, making sure to explain his reasoning along the way. He made space for my questions, and asked if there was anything else I wanted to address when the visit was over. Many providers have asked if I have questions, yet this was one of the few times I genuinely didn't feel rushed. Dr. Cano strikes me as a deeply authentic person who genuinely cares about his patients and the work he does.

It was a great experience. My doctor remembered or the record showed some concerns on previous meeting and he put my mind at ease. That was greatly appreciated.

It was a very pleasant experience

I was impressed with his prep work to begin with. I am quite complex, and he'd done some reading beforehand. This helped us have a smoother visit! But what really stood out was his acceptance of a mask. He said, "I see you're wearing a mask. Would you like for me to wear one as well?" This is always what I hope for, but to be honest, even if I hear it, the result doesn't mean much. Unless you're going to wear one that actually offers protection, it's for show and patient's mental comfort. So I said, "Thank you, I would, but unless you have a similar one, there's not much point". Usually they just put surgical masks on, but he and the MA did not do this. She began to search for an N95, and I was truly impressed and shocked! I produced a new, sealed one from my bag just as she found one, and he accepted. No drama, no comments. THIS is what makes for exceptional care! As for the visit, he also understood the profound impact that ADHD has on sleep, and agreed that it's truly a challenge. This went a LONG way with me. He even added that you have a specialty clinic, but I lamented that I couldn't get into Psychiatry because I didn't have a PCP at MGB. He encouraged me to check across the hall, but we knew there were no openings. I get it, but again, this policy is hurting people! We went through all of the important things, and I was scheduled right there for my next annual follow-up. Great!

Things were well explained; friendly manner

Dr. Cano is terrific. He is a very caring, intelligent, compassionate doctor. He knows what questions to ask, and we discuss alternative sleep masks. We discussed my brother too which was really nice of Dr. Cano. My brother is a patient also, and I am his health care proxy. Dr. Cano is great.

Doctor Cano is one of the best physician's I have encountered in my 30 year nursing career. He paired outstanding professionalism with a compassionate bedside manner that helped to ease my anxiety about a complex health issue. I felt completely supported as he clearly explained my problem and all available treatment options.

This provider was excellent--my husband said he was the best doctor he had ever encountered. [redacted]

This just concerns a minor refinement of Dr. Cano's appointment technique. While my conversation with him was highly informative in a number of ways, clarifying several issues I'd been concerned about, I often felt that he was explaining things more slowly and simply than I personally required. I wonder whether he might develop a few innocent-seeming, unobtrusive small-talk conversational gambits for the start of an appointment, to aid him in forming an idea of the patient's level of intellectual sophistication, to in turn aid him in adjusting upward or downward the speed and complexity of his medical remarks.

Dr. Christopher Cano is extremely knowledgeable. He spent all the time I needed to discuss my condition.

Made effort to see me even though I came late. Tried hard to understand what kept me from using my device regularly. Reviewed again alternative devices. Expressed understanding of stress in my life currently that inhibited use. Explained more of my profile in sleep apnea and spoke of "quality of life" issue and role of not getting enough sleep at night. Reviewed what helped for better sleep like my napping too much in day and sedentary issues, acknowledging role of depression. Thought plan to see someone sooner, like in 2 months, would be more beneficial to me and encouraging of continued compliance. Dr. also did review my history and medications, trying sincerely to help break the current pattern.

Dr. Cano was very courteous and he listened very intently to anything I had to say and he was very informative as to what health benefits are involved with the CPAP machine and he was all around a very, very good man. I would recommend him to anybody.

Dr. Cano is an exceptional physician. He is kind, thorough and an expert in his field. I have struggled with insomnia for years and he has been most helpful with my issues.

Discussed several options

Dr Cano is always professional and respectful. He takes the time before each appointment to review my chart which shows me his thoroughness. I respect that right back.

[redacted] It's rare to see a neurologist take time, also I wasn't expecting him to repeat back most of what I said. Thank you for having a neurologist that appears to have a quality repose with patients. His verbal English outstanding I could understand him his eye contact excellent I could see his scanning ability. [redacted]

Dr. Cano is a very caring, knowledgeable, and empathetic individual, providing excellent care for me since we began and being very concerned about my care and capable of helping me.

Dr Cano is a great follow on to Dr [redacted]. [redacted] I'm glad I decided to wait for Dr Cano. It was easy to connect with Dr Cano. It is evident that he is focused on you and respects you.

This provider and his fellow where wonderful. They completely. I've never been so listened to at a medical appointment. All my issues were addressed and a clear plan was laid out for my treatment.

I think he's very knowledgeable. I think he's very easy to work with. He showed me the importance of what sleep apnea and everything can do to a person. You know, he gave me stories of that and I've been very loyal to that. Every day in my virtual, I reached out to him that. So very, very important and he's also said reach out anytime I have questions for him personally. Thank you.

I feel very well cared for by Dr. Cano. He is kind, thoughtful, thorough and reassuring as well as educative, a real partner in my care and treatment.

He IS one of the Best doctors I will recommend to others.

Very congenial and most professional.

Excellent

Dr. Cano was very prepared for the visit. He had read the previous neuroevaluation results or whatever that were done in 2016, so 10 years ago. So he was very up to speed on my uncle's case, which I really, really appreciated. And he was very thorough and explained everything. He was very respectful towards my uncle, who is almost 80, and to myself, who's his health care proxy. And he answered all our questions and was just very helpful and open and really spent, I thought, a sufficient amount of time with us.

[redacted] My provider was excellent.

Provider was very knowledgeable

Dr. Cano always listens carefully, answers my and my husband's questions throughly, and is up to date on my status.

He was very professional and informative, explained a lot of things to me to help me in the future. I would highly recommend anyone to go see him.

Dr. Cano is an amazing doctor. He is the only one who truly cares about my medical issues, even beyond what he is treating me for. He sees that the bidy is made up up various systems but they need to work together. A couple of years ago I started seeing Emerson doctors because I moved, but Dr. Cano has shown me that I need to return to MGB&W for exceptional care.

SIMPLY THE BEST !!!!!!

He has always very informative and extremely pleasant to talk to

He is a good professional, and all members of his team provide good assistance.

I think Dr. Cano is a caring, knowledgeable doctor and would definitely recommend him to others.

Expert, very professional, very compassionate, the best neurological exam I've ever had.

Yes, Dr. Cano was phenomenal. He was kind, knowledgeable, respectful, patient, gave wonderful explanations to any questions I had. And I'm very grateful that I have him as my doctor. I'm new to the practice and I look forward to working with this department.

Dr Cano checked my CPAP sleep data for [redacted] and provided feedback on how to deal with the extremely high anxiety period and how to adapt to it resulting in less CPAP sleep at night by taking a CPAP nap during the day when possible and needed. He listens well and makes very helpful suggestions when dealing with the worst of times and encouragement [redacted]. He is a crucial part of my neurological and psychiatrist trio of doctors helping me deal with obstructive sleep apnea, Epilepsy, anxiety disorder, significant depression and the effects that society and all of its obstacles that I have had to deal with. Without Dr Cano's help I don't believe I would have been able to overcome the insomnia and anxiety obstacles to reach somewhere between 7 - 8 hours of CPAP sleep in the past and in the process of taking the steps to return to that level of CPAP sleep per night again. I am extremely blessed to have Dr Cano, Dr [redacted] and Dr [redacted] as my team of doctors at BWH helping me to have reached a year+ of being seizure-free before (for the first time in my life) [redacted]

He is very and a great doctor!

Yes, Dr. Cano [redacted] shows the utmost maturity in all fields of endeavor that a doctor should be. Brigham and Women should be very proud that they have Dr. Cano on the staff and they should repeat by hiring other individuals just like him. He's a 10 all the way and I feel very grateful that I have him as my doctor.

extremely kind and knowledgeable

This was a remote call with Sleep Center team for my monthly update. All went well.

the care provider had access to my records and accessed them regularly which I found helpful. He took his time as well. I did not feel rushed.

Dr. Cano is amazing. He comes to the appointment thoroughly prepared, having reviewed my current and past file and able to discuss my whole health picture instead of just the latest blood test or development. He is able to answer my questions and give explanations in everyday language instead of losing me in medical terminology. I wish more practitioners would choose this performance format.

I can't say enough good about Dr. Cano! He's friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions in a way that I completely understood, and gave me the information I needed. I sincerely hope that I will be seeing him annually for a very long time. Please tell him I said hello! Also, the front desk staff and clinician that took my vitals were all praise worthy. Thank you!

Dr Cano was incredible. He listened and helped me come up with a plan.

I was seen promptly. The fellow that I saw, she was very good and very supportive. And then he came in and he was also very encouraging and positive.

Dr. Cano is really efficient at sharing information, but he still takes plenty of time to listen to what I, the patient, had to say, to ask a lot of questions, and just overall good, like, Zoom side manner, if you will.

It was a very informative appointment

I am so appreciative of Dr Cano. He explains everything very well and talks about options, is open to my questions and very attentive.

And if I have another question, I'm looking forward to making an appointment to see him again. So he was nice, you know. I appreciate him taking the time to see me. Matter of fact, it's an appointment that someone canceled that I received and I was very glad to have that done. So thank you again, Dr. Cano. I appreciate it. I'm looking forward to see you if I need any more feedback or any more discussion with you about my what. Okay, thank you. Bye.

Dr Cano was very respectful. He asked me what I wanted to talk to him about and what was important to me. He explained everything to me and frequently asked me if I had any questions. He knew all of my past medical history including medications. He told me what the plan was and asked if that made sense to me and if I was agreeable to that.

Provided excellent care

Dr Cano is very intelligent but he does not talk down to you and he is a great listener.

Dr Cano makes you feel seen and heard all throughout the visit. There is no shaming for either not knowing, understanding or not doing something right only explaining, asking how he can help make thing easier with true interest. He has also looked at my notes before the appointment a rare occurrence these days and so appreciated!!

Very personable and encouraging when speaking about my cpap regimen

I found this provider to be one of the most thorough providers I've ever seen. I felt that he answered all questions, asked if I had any additional questions, did not feel like any question that I asked was, I guess for lack of a better word, a dumb question, was very thorough with the research that's out there, evidence-based research. So I had a very good experience.

Dr. Cano is very, very courteous and he listens completely to you. He's very kind and gentle in his approach to discussing what you're doing or how you're doing with your treatments and all that sort of thing. But he really does, you feel he spends a lot more time with you in listening to you than most doctors these days. I think he's a terrific doctor and he really can put a patient at ease and make them feel comfortable. He's also in a strange way he's well not strange, but you don't usually find a person who, especially a doctor, who is really

Dr. Cano is very knowledgable, personable and caring, asking the right questions and answering all of mine.

Helpful in thinking things through and reviewing goals.

There were many things about Dr. Cano that I appreciated: the fact that he knew my medical history for our first visit; his thoroughness in explaining details about my condition and the protocol for managing it; and his openness to answering my questions. He also had a kind manner and seemed interested in what I had to say. He seemed extremely professional and the best kind of doctor I could imagine having for this condition.

I had an excellent experience with this provider.

I feel that Dr. Chris really listened to what I had to say. I feel that he did research before he contacted me, so he remembered who I was. He looked at other recent things that doctors said that I'd gone through recently and how it pertained to my issue with him. I feel like he really had clear information for me that I could understand, and I feel like he really listened to me. And I feel like he's a really great doctor.

This was my first appointment with Dr. Cano who was both very welcoming and serious about the concerns with which I presented. I learned considerably about the nature of my problem with great relief I might add and with a plan for ongoing follow up. It was a very satisfactory experience and I left with a sense of optimism about my future follow up.

I enjoy my visit with this doctor. Listens to my concerns and is very supportive

Dr. Cano was one of the most caring and concerned doctors I have ever encountered. He was exceptionally knowledgeable regarding my issues and enlightened me on major problems that had not been addressed by previous pulmonologists. Above all, he listened to all I had to say and he was kind and empathetic. A truly remarkable doctor.

I was very pleased with the provider for finding an opening in his busy schedule to meet with me. The provider answered all the questions and concerns I had.

Dr. Cano is superb in all aspects of medicine as well as thoughtful engagement with the patient. I highly recommend him.

He was thoughtful, and caring. It was an excellent experience. He explained things very clearly.

Yes, when I arrived downstairs, the receptionist on the first floor said my doctor was new. That's not true. And then she sent me to the wrong office. She didn't know exactly where it was. And then I looked on my chart and went directly to the appointment. So his name should have came up. in the directory.

As always Chris Cano is an incredibly kind and superb provider

Dr Cano perfect. He listens to me

Dr. Cano had already examined my latest medical records regarding my visits to orthopedics, the findings, and reasons for referring me to a neologist. Before seeing him, I had an emergency visit to have a pacemaker inserted and he involved that in the explanation of my symptoms that were now relieved. Dr. Cano related the findings of the orthopedic surgeon and the surgeon's decisions that operating was not an option and why. Dr. Cano was extremely thorough in his discussions of all the different factors affecting my present condition and thoroughly explained how the final decisions were reached. Dr. Cano gave me an overall picture of what had transpired and why various decisions were made. This was a great overall picture that helped me see where I am today. In addition, Dr. Cano was attentive, explained everything to my satisfaction, listened to my comments, and fully answered everything I questioned. I could not be more satisfied.

He was very friendly and knew what he was doing and gave me great information and an understanding of what I can do next.

A Very capable, knowledgeable and professional Provider. Glad to be on his radar. [redacted]

He explained my condition better than any previous drs.

Dr Cano ranks among the best physicians that I have ever been to. He reviewed all my pertinent medical records prior to the consult and was thoroughly prepared. His knowledge of neurology is extensive and indepth. Dr Cano has the distinct ability to listen, isolate the key issues, focus on those key issues, formulate a medical plan and then thoroughly explain his recommendations in clear language. He explanations and recommendations were thorough and easy to understand. He listened carefully to all my questions and addressed in detail all my concerns. He is very personable and connects very well with his patients. Again, Dr Cano is among the absolute best. I would give him a solid 10 ranking out of 10.

Dr. Cano is one of the best physicians that I have ever seen!!! He is just wonderful and knows neurology like no one else. I first saw him for my severe Restless Legs. He knew exactly what I needed to do and I feel like he saved my life. I do exactly what he suggests and I have NO restless legs. PS: He is also a really nice guy and cares about me. Last week, he correctly diagnosed and suggested treatment for a severe eye itchy, gritty eye problem. BINGO I did what he said and my eyes are without pain, for the first time in 6 months. I have to drive 3 hours to see him. He is well worth the drive. BRILLIANT DOCTOR

Dr. Cano was very nice [redacted]

Very compassionate. Very patient. Listens to patient and responds appropriately. Wonderful Dr.

He has been there to answer questions on Patient Gateway in a timely manner all year, so this virtual appointment was just the same. I never leave an appointment with any question for him unanswered, and I have complete confidence in him.

I thought the provider was great. However, I did the study in early April, not to speak to a provider until the end of August is ridiculous.

Dr. Cano is very well informed, explains everything. A very good doctor.

Great Doctor!!

Provider spent the time necessary to talk to me and discuss and address my concerns.

He was prepared for the appointment, he had reviewed my medical history and the medications that I am on. He included me in the discussion about my health and the recommendations that he was making. He was thorough and no time did I feel rushed.

He was very helpful.

Great
