Unfortunately, I waited in the examination room for almost an hour. I had just opened the door to see if they forgot me and bumped into Dr. Cantrell just as he was about to come into the examination room. So sorry to hear he's retiring. I've been his patient while I was still working and I've been retired for 20 years. I trusted him and had confidence in him. I wish him all the best in his retirement. Enjoy it Dr. Cantrell, you've earned it after practicing medicine for 35 years. Good luck!
