Gastroenterologist
About Christopher C. Canale, M.D.
“Growing up in an Italian family, all philosophy, psychology, politics, sociology, health, love and fitness conversations occurred in the kitchen and centered around what we were cooking and how we were cooking it. Once I decided to practice medicine, it was very natural for me to focus on the GI tract and the critical role diet plays in preventing and combating infections and diseases of all organ systems.
“I enjoy working closely with patients and listening to their specific and unique stories. I feel one of my greatest qualities is my patience and ability to listen. Every patient is unique and no matter how many times you have heard a complaint or treated a disease, the disease manifestations, the choice of treatments and the patient’s response to the disease and treatment are unique to every patient.
“My goal is to give my patients excellent quality of life, my medical knowledge and expertise from years of study, the pinnacle of up-to-date modern and current diagnosis and treatment options and a patient, attentive ear.”
In his free time, Dr. Canale enjoys road-biking, upland bird hunting, saltwater fly-fishing and teaching.

Reviews
Treatment was very timely and professional, all the staff were great and friendly, every thing went very smoothly as always, thank you very much !!
I had a colonoscopy yesterday, and Dr. Canale was my doctor. He and his staff did a great job and they were very kind and gentle with their bedside manner. He answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable and at ease with the procedure. After everything was completed, he took his time to visit with me and let me know the results of his exam and was very happy with the results as well as his expertise. Please consider using Dr. Canal for any colonoscopies or other procedures that he can be involved with. Thank you!
Wonderful doctor. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Very grateful for the high level of care he's always given.
Dr Canale is the best doctor I’ve had. He is genuinely invested in improving my health and finding the cause of my symptoms not just prescribing a pill to treat it. He stays current on up to date research with a passion for new options in his field of study. He has made a difference in my care and I’d recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Canale is very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of GERD.
The doctor and his staff are excellent in every way. They know what they are doing and they care for my well-being.
Dr. Canale is the best. I was having some serious issues that most doctors kept pushing me to the side or telling me it was all in my head. Dr. Canale took the time and efforts to try different things and when ultimately I needed a scope, got me in quick. His care has literally giving me my life back and I am forever grateful.
Easy going, friendly, and helpful for my concerns.
Highest ratings for Dr. Canale and his staff who were able to diagnose and listen to my concerns and come up with solutions. I recommend him for any gastro needs that come up.
Pleasant, prompt, proficient and professional.
Dr. Canale is one of the rare types of medical doctors who can actually show empathy to their patients and still do great work. He is very knowledgable about his work, and goes out of his way to communicate with his patients. I highly recommend him and his office is great to work with too.
Dr. Canale takes the time to really listen and answers questions and concerns. At 53 I have my quality of life back and can enjoy doing things, without living in fear in a restroom. He didnt give up on me and finding a treatment plan thay works.

Dr Canali is a caring and knowledgeable physician. He answers all my questions during my appointments. I feel he truly cares about me and tries hard to fit the best treatments to my needs.
Amazing care! I feel listened too, feel like they genuinely care about me and my health. I went to drs previous to him and felt I wasn’t being heard. I’m glad to have found Dr Canale and Melissa Yamashiro! my health has improved 10 times over since first visiting them last year! Highly recommend!
Dr Canale was very attentive to my health issues and suggested an extra test to get to the root cause of my problems. I'm excited to get to those results!
Dr. Canale helped my family when my dad was dying and my sister-in-law was fighting cancer. He is the most kind caring doctor who really cares about his patients and listens to their concerns.
Dr. Canale's PA saw me first and was very professional. She then called Dr. Canale in for his professional opinion. He was able to diagnose the problem immediately and prescribe medication.
Fantastic care! I would highly recommend Dr. Canale to anyone for gastroenterology care. He's very personable, treats his patients with respect, and is highly skilled in all he does.
Dr. Canale is amazing! He is so personable and easy to talk to. He answered all 23 of my questions about my condition. He never once looked at his watch or acted impatient. He is very knowledgeable about GI problems and has a lot of experience. I definitely recommend him!
