After managing to injure both my ankle and my shoulder in July 2025 (overachiever, I know), my first stop was urgent care, where I was fitted with a boot and sent on my way. Next I googled orthopedics and made a few phone calls. Thankfully, Dr. Kantor was able to get me in immediately. Dr. Kantor was thorough from day one. At my first visit, he put me in a cast and followed my ankle closely with regular visits until it fully healed. When I later mentioned that my shoulder wasn't improving, we got an MRI and he told me surgery was needed. I disagreed, mostly because I was hoping it would magically fix itself. He respected that, said "OK," and we tried physical therapy first. Six or seven weeks later of PT, he asked again if I was ready for surgery. I said yes, he had been right all along. My hesitation was never about trust; it was fear of surgery. Dr. Kantor and his staff were patient, supportive, and never pushy throughout the entire process. I'm now 11 days post-shoulder surgery and five months out from the original injury. My ankle is healed, my shoulder is doing great, and while I'm not completely out of the woods yet, I'm incredibly grateful. I'm finally on my way back to the active life I love and I couldn't have asked for better care along the way. Highly recommend Dr. Kantor and his outstanding team. read more

Dr. Cantor was so friendly. My daughter was injured with a broken ankle over the weekend and when I called Monday morning, he got her in first thing. He was friendly, the office was welcoming, and he was able to cast her foot right away. It was a bonus that his office is close to our house. I would highly recommend him for your orthopedic needs. read more

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Kantor for his exceptional care and dedication with my ruptured achillies. During a particularly challenging time, Dr. Kantor went above and beyond by staying during his lunch break to treat me. His willingness to prioritize my well-being over his own break is a testament to his commitment to his patients. Dr. Kantor's expertise and compassion were evident throughout the entire visit. His genuine concern for my health truly made a difference. Thank you, Dr. Kantor, for your incredible kindness and for being such a remarkable doctor. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and I am incredibly appreciative of the care you provided during my time in your office. Thank you. read more

Dr. Kantor and his office staff are the best!! I came to him with 2 bad knees. He has already fixed one and one more to go. His office is so accommodating. They are very sympathetic to your injuries and accommodate same day appointments. I am sure you all have experienced calling Orthopedic Doctors and they are weeks out, regardless of the situation. Not Dr. Kantor. He and his office staff work very hard to accommodate your needs, so you are not left hanging for weeks at a time. He explains all to you very clearly and thoroughly. One knee down and one more to go. Doing great, thanks to Dr. Kantor and his many years of knowledge and experience!! read more

I had a problem with my knee and I had gone to urgent care. They recommended we should see an Orthopedic doctor. So I went on Yelp and found Dr. Kantor with 5 Star reviews. We were new to Santa Clarita and didn't want to visit our orthopedic doctor in Pasadena. So I called and I was able to make an appointment on the next day. The staff was friendly and I saw the doctor within 20 minutes. When I arrived the staff asked what was wrong and at that time I couldn't walk on my left knee and I was using a walker. The doctor came in to exam me and he told me we needed X-rays. He took me in and X-rayed my knee. He said you have to have a MRI. As he hurriedly walked out of the room. I wanted to ask him what do I do in the mean time I can't walk, I was in pain, he was in a hurry and I couldn't ask. So we called for a MRI, and we were able to get one the next day, which was the day before Thanksgiving. Therefore the results would not get there until the end of next week. I called the office to ask if they had received the MRI and they told me probably not. I insisted that they look because it had been a week. They found the MRI, and I asked if I could come in today. And they said well you don't have an appointment, and I told them your sign on the window says walking are welcome. So they made the appt. For 4PM, the doctor looked at the MRI and saw I had a menicus tear on my knee. So he said let me take another X-ray of the front of my knee. I asked why didn't you do this before. And he said because you were in so much pain you couldn't do it. We went back to the patient room and he told me I can't repair the meniscus tear. Because if I did that you would need knee replacement. Instead I can give you a cortisone shot that should help with the pain. And then each week for 5 weeks I will inject gel shots in your knee. But eventually you will need a full knee replacement. I decided to get a second opinion from my doctor in Pasadena. We made the appointment took the MRI to him and he scheduled me to take care of the Mencius tear. I did a arthroscopic meniscus repair on my knee. In two days I'll be up and walking around. My Orthopedic Doctor told me my knee did not need a replacement. All of this occurred on November 23, 2025 Therefore, I was not pleased with the advice given to me by Dr Kantor, and I do not recommend seeing him. read more

I really wanted to see this doctor for both of my knees. I am a veteran and have struggled with knee problems for years. I just started a new job and wasn't able to take time off and begged for a 4 pm appointment and even asked the receptionist to pls ask the doctor if he was able to work with me for this one appointment. Seemed like they didn't even try to ask him. I brought my daughter to him for knee surgery so this sucks that they are not able to work with situations like this. read more

Dr. Kantor and the staff are great! They were able to see me on the same day (in an emergency) and immediately improved my situation. Dr. Kantor has a wealth of experience and knowledge and explained things to me in an easy to understand way. He listens and asks follow up questions to get to the root cause to treat both the immediate symptoms and the underlying causes. read more

Super happy! Dr. Kantor, took the time to listen and hear what I had going on. I didn't feel rushed and I felt well taken care of. I got the appointment pretty quick and was in and out in less than 35 minutes. -Tommy G read more

Dr. Kantor performed arthroscopic surgery on my 15 year old daughter's shoulder on March 27. Just u Der three months later, she has been cleared to return to soccer and is healing beautifully! Dr. Kantor was extremely informative about my daughter's injury, the details of the surgery and post-op instructions. Three months of post-op visits were included in the cost of surgery. Dr. Kantor answered all our questions. His expertise and demeanor helped our family and our daughter feel very comfortable with the process, beginning to end. I highly recommend him for your orthopedic surgery needs! read more

So, unfortunately I had to have surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon and I've been waiting out this review just to be sure it was honest and that i got to know the doctor some beforehand. So my foot was basically hanging and no longer attached to my calf muscle because of a basketball accident back in November '22, and I had my surgery mid December '22. It was extremely painful pre surgery. Let me tell you, Dr. Kantor did great! I just started physical therapy now that surgery is done and my cast is off and everyone at PT has been complimenting on what a great job Dr. Kantor did on my ankle! Not to mention I love his dry humor, he's done great dealing with all of my complaining, and I like how honest he is and how he gets straight to the point lol I highly recommend him to anyone needing an orthopedic surgeon :) read more

See all

I'm not sure why these reviews are so positive. I visited Dr. Kantor two years ago for an ankle injury. He insisted on an in office x-ray even though I had one done a week before at Henry Mayo. After reviewing my x-ray and ankle he gave me a Cortizone injection and tried to sell me an ankle brace for $150. Thankfully, I found it on Amazon for $20. He charged my insurance $1000 for a 15 minute conversation, x-ray, and cortisone injection. I'm not sure how they justify those charges. Since then, I went to see The Foot & Ankle Institute, where they told me that I have two torn ligaments. I was very disappointed with my experience with Dr. Kantor . read more

I am a Los, Angeles, Firefighter, and I've had several surgeries on my knees, Dr. Kantor has always fit me into a schedule to get me right back to work. His staff is amazing and makes it really easy in and out of his office and scheduling surgeries. read more

I have have a few appointments with Dr Kantor. I find him personable, interested in me and my condition and very professional. He has been thoughtful and he clearly knows "knees". His office staff is friendly and everyone makes sure you are treated with respect and your privacy is respected. I look forward to having these "0l" bones and ligament's treated by such a great doctor. I'm certain I made a great choice moving my care to his practice! read more

My son dislocated his shoulder riding his skateboard. I went to Dr. Kantor because of his Yelp reviews and I'm so happy I did. He is just the best. Great personality, and he really took great care of my son. The staff was also very friendly and helpful each time we were in. Great experience all the way around! read more

I wanted to thank Dr. Kantor, and his staff for my knee surgery April 4th, 2023. My knee feels great! Walking and riding my peloton only 3 months after surgery, feels fantastic. I had ACL surgery using a cadaver tendon, walked after a week, very little pain. So glad I trusted Dr. Kantor with my knee! Don't hesitate to have that surgery, I put it off for several months, wish I would've done it sooner! Focus PT in Newhall is incredible also! Rebecca was fantastic and so helpful. Like a big family there. Thanks Dr. Kantor! Your the man read more

I cannot begin to express my appreciation for Dr. Kantor. He is thorough with a great bedside manner. I appreciate his concern and willingness to ensure the BEST Level of Care.

Where do I start? Other than saying thank you Dr. Kantor and your staff (Amber, Amanda, Lorraine, Nathan). Everyone there were very helpful and patient. There were some obstacles I had to go through to finally have my surgery, and I'm glad I did. Every step of the way I felt like I was apart the family. Special thanks again to Amanda and Amber for all they have done for me. I really appreciate you guys.!! I am always greeted with smiles and professionalism whenever I visit the office. If there was anything I needed they were right there. I had a procedure on my shoulder and I am now in recovery. Dr. Kantor made me feel like I was a priority and he made me feel very comfortable. He explained to me in detail what his approach would be step by step, All the while easing any concerns I may have had. His expertise was impeccable and it showed throughout my entire experience. The day after my surgery I received a follow up call to see how I was doing, and how everything went. If there was anything I needed all I had to do was ask. I would recommend Dr. Kantor to ANYONE who needs an expert opinion. He will make you feel like you are in good hands, and will provide a level of service second to none. If I could give them a rating higher than five stars , they would be deserving.!! Dr. Kantor is Awesome!!! Besides he worked with my favorite team the San Francisco 49ers, they were lucky to have him. Thank you again Dr. Kantor and staff, I'm grateful for the experience I had. Good people are hard to find, but Dr. Kantor and his staff are grade A. read more

Thank you Dr Kanter for really supporting us, this is my sons first break ever. Dr said it's healing well and quickly! Thank you for the personal attention and humor. I'm confident that he will heal well and play sports again. read more

My daughter suddenly started having severe back pain and we tried acupuncture, chiropractor but to no avail. We finally decided to get Orthopedic Doctor to find out what was really the issue. Dr. Kantor and his office staff is very friendly and kind. That was a great beginning. We made an appointment and we were seen pretty early after explaining the pain level my daughter was experiencing. We visited the office and Dr, Kantor was very friendly and we had X rays right there inside the facility. Then he ordered MRI for closer look, also pretty quickly. The whole process was lot faster than I had anticipated and we found that my daughter had bulging disk. We received some medication and now we are going to Physical Therapy as directed. The pain level before visiting Dr. Kantor was around 7-8 (from 1-10 scale) but now the pain went down to either 1 or 2. I am so glad I found Dr. Kantor and his staff. Next, I am brining my wife and I will also get more treatment from Dr. Kantor as I realize there is no need to wait but get reliable and expert Doctor's diagnosis to treat the pain and discomfort. read more

If you need a Orthopedic surgeon look no further. I was worried about finding the right surgeon to rebuild my ACL. With heavy research me and my wife found Dr. Kantor who handled ACL surgeries for high level athletes. I knew he was the right man for the job! Sure enough we were right. My new ACL is solid and I'll soon be able to get back to doing the sports and activities I love! The staff is very friendly and they work diligently to provide Dr Kantor's patients with proper care and attention. Pre op and post op. They also offer stem cell treatments! Other places do not. read more

Dr. Kantor did such an excellent job on my shoulder surgery a few years ago that I came back to him when I needed surgery on the other shoulder. He does great work, has a great demeanor and really cares about his patients. The office staff are great and have gone above and beyond on things I've needed to provide my employer both pre and post-op. If there was a procedure or surgery I needed and it was something Dr. Kantor did I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I LOVE Dr Kantor and his professional staff. I so appreciate the care and attentiveness each delivers. I Have been a patient at Kantor Orthopedics for at least 7 years. Recently had occasion to go back in today and Dr Kantor greeted me, knowing exactly who I was --rare for doctors--and was ready as ever to help me. I can't recommend him more highly!!! 100 stars, please. read more

Dr.Kantor is amazing! He is very efficient and caring. He is funny and makes you feel so comfortable. I've had hip pain for months now, he gave me a cortisone shot (which was painless!) and referred me to do physical therapy. It's been 3 weeks now, and I see a tremendous amount of difference and I couldn't be happier! read more

I would recommend Dr. Kantor for your orthopedic issues. He has helped me with my shoulder and elbow problems. I was able to get appointments to see him in a reasonable amount of time and after a few visits and a referral to a good PT, I was able to feel better. read more

After a horrible experience at SCOI my wife made a same day appointment with Dr. Kantor. Dr. Kantor was knowledgeable and prescribed a treatment plan, something that was not discussed at SCOI. The only regret I have was not going to him first. read more

I have struggled with a trigger finger for several years. In case you are wondering, a trigger finger is when your finger (or a thumb) gets locked into a closed position due to an inflamed nodule that won't release your finger. It's annoying, painful, and inconvenient because when you have it, it is always in the back of your mind when using your hands. After several tries to treat the problem conservatively, my wife found Dr. Kantor and set up an appointment for me. First impressions, his office staff are efficient, professional, and friendly. Not distant and aloof like many medical settings, but neighborly. Plus one. I was then taken in for x-rays, however, I couldn't have them taken because my finger was locked and I hadn't been able to straighten it for several days (it locked over the weekend). I was taken to Dr. Kantor, and he numbed my finger enough to manually pop it back straight, which was quite a relief after several days of having it locked closed. Plus two. Dr. Kantor gathered my history, and counseled me that another cortisone shot was not indicated for me because of the number I have had in the past, and he recommended a minor outpatient surgery at the local ambulatory surgical center. My problem was scheduling, because I needed to fly out of town in a few days. No problem, Dr. Kantor listened to me and asked his scheduler (Daisy) to schedule me as soon as possible, and that he would do my surgery over his lunch hour if necessary to accommodate me. Because of his caring and willingness to put himself out, I was able to get my surgery scheduled quite immediately, which meant I would get a permanent solution to this problem that had ailed me for years. Plus three. The surgery was uneventful and of course successful. I have since seen Dr. Kantor for two post-operative visits. Today he removed my stitches, and I was pleased to report to him the improvement in my finger, and how appreciative I am. Because I am in and out of town a lot, all my appointments have been made so as to accommodate my schedule. Plus four. Last, let me say that Dr. Kantor is an excellent orthopedist and person. He makes you feel comfortable with his cheerful and humorous manner, and at the same time, he is a great teacher. Every stop of the way, he explained clearly what my options were, what my surgery entailed, and the like. He drew my surgery out (on my good hand with a pen) like we used to draw football plays on the palms of our hands when we were kids. Bottom line, I understood exactly what was going on, and while I was nervous at times, he always went out of his way to make me feel comfortable. Plus five. And that's how you earn five stars, fellow Yelpers. I could not recommend a doctor more highly, and I could not have been more pleased with my experience in this office. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Kantor since 2003. Each occasion I've had a joint need more than physical therapy, Dr Kantor has performed the least invasive surgical solution. Whether it was torn meniscus or rotator cuff, I healed quickly and have had excellent follow up care. I highly recommend Dr Kantor and his staff. Friendly, informative and highly skilled with up to date techniques and very little down time after procedures. His sense of humor keeps spirits up even when the stitches come out! Plus, cookies at checkout! read more

Dr. Kantor was an absolute pleasure. I broke my hand and I'm in my thirties. I haven't broken a bone since I was a teen. This man not only made the process quick and easy, he did a great job putting my mind at ease. He explained everything going on, and kept me laughing during the pain. I won't go anywhere else now for a broken bone. Thank you Dr Kantor for your professionalism and kindness. read more

Dr. Kantor and the entire staff are beyond amazing. When you have an appointment, they will spend the whole scheduled period with you if need be; I know when I come in to see Dr. Kantor he's already reviewed the reasons for my coming in and my file. I never feel rushed, and he always asks if I have any other questions. I have a torn ACL and I'm sure my journey with him is going to be hard but I feel very comfortable he's going to help me every step of the way. He's extremely hilarious and has a great sense of humor which makes every appointment easier to go to read more

I waited an hour to see the doctor for under 10 minutes. It was very brief considering it was a first consultation. I was not able to ask him any of my questions and he rushed us out of the exam room. I had 3 Xrays taken and it was awkward as I was in the room with two men with the door closed. ( One was being trained, neither talked to me at all). When I realized my pain was too great and I needed to see a back surgeon I was charged $45.00 for xeroxed copies of my xrays. Disappointing considering my insurance will pay them for those. No other doctor has ever charged me for getting copies of my MRI's or X-rays and $45.00 for poorly copied x Ray's is shocking, I doubt the surgeon could even read them. Stay away, money hungry and doctor doesn't care. read more

The entire team at Kantor Orthopedics is first class and if I could give them 100 stars I would. The office team is AMAZING! They are caring, kind, and made us feel like family. The way they work together to meet their patient's needs is felt throughout the process. Daisy, you are a rock star! My husband had a torn meniscus that required surgery. Dr. Jeffrey Kantor made us feel at ease and explained everything to make sure we understood what to expect and all the phases my husband would go through to heal and get back to his old self. Dr. Kantor is the whole package. He has the best bedside manner of any doctor we have ever seen and I only wish all doctors could be as wonderful and Dr. Kanotor and his team. One last note: The surgery center was amazing as well! These folks are all stars! read more
