As a nurse for over 50 years, I was very impressed with Dr. Cano as a physician. He was very knowledgeable, thorough and consistently kind and respectful. It was obvious that he had taken the time to become familiar with my history and reviewed my records prior to my arrival. He then asked about my own experience over the last year and the impact the changes in the persistent issue with decreased sensation in my legs had in my daily life. He listened very attentively to what I had to say. Following our discussion, Dr Cano then did a thorough neuro exam and provided feedback as he was assessing the issues. During the encouter he was open to my questions and concerns and provided me with the "reasons that my numbness will most likely persist" while assuring me that things would not get worse in the future. Although I had to wait 7 months to get a neurology appointment at BWH, I left feeling that an encouter with Dr. Cano was absolutely worth it! He is an asset to the BWH system.
