The best pediatrician in Laredo? NOPE!!!He has seen all three of my children since birth and now suddenly refuses to see my 15 year old. The office acts as if it's not a huge issue. No doctor will see a child under 18 because they claim they should still be seen by their pediatrician. So, when I called Dr. Cantu's office to see if they could offer a solution, they simply told me NO. They said I should find another pediatrician for my 15 year old child. How unprofessional after all these years of giving him my business. Needless to say, I will be switching all my children to a new pediatrician.
Side note- if you see Dr. Cantu, please be aware that with every visit he will go into a long diabetes lecture about how your toddler/child is overweight. He will bust out his weight chart and shame them every time. I understand his obligations as doctor however I now have a child battling an eating disorder and YES, it did stem from this disgusting doctor telling her she was fat from the time she was old enough to understand the meaning of the word. Because of his shaming she hated to go see him. I should have switched doctors long ago and advise anyone to never take their children to this doctor. read more
