Thank you Dr. Cannaliato, you covered for my Dr. Zheutlin when he was out of town and took care of my son when he was sick. You were a very caring doctor.

Thank you Dr Cannaliato. You cared for my sister and I as children and was one of the most caring individuals I ever met. You felt like a part of our family. My mom still talks about what an amazing doctor you were. You will be greatly missed but always remembered.
