Provided by Doctor.comDr.Kavaler is the exception to doctors in general. He is a splendid listener.
Dr. Kavaler is in my opinion the best choice for care in his field.
He takes the time to explain one’s condition then swiftly goes about to seek a solution. He’s with you throughout.
His manner places one at ease while planning a strategy.
No need to search google simply call Dr. Kavaker.

Provided by Doctor.comDr Kavaler is a very careful listener who correctly diagnosed my stomach bleeding. He advised me to have an endoscopy and scheduled it for 2 days later. I never considered having this procedure and was pleasantly surprised that this procedure was exactly was I needed.
I was really impressed by his careful listening to my symptoms and asked me questions that led to a diagnosis.
I have great confidence in Dr Kavaler.

Provided by Doctor.comI have been a patient of this provider for nearly thirty years and I trust him implicitly. I have referred both family and friends to Dr. Kavaler. They give him nothing but the highest praise for his knowledge in the field, his diagnostic capabilities, and his kind and caring treatment. Dr. Kavaler is always current and keeps abreast of the latest treatment plans and medicines, he has an encyclopedic knowledge in the field of gastroenterology, and he is attentive to every detail that relates to his patients' problems.
He has unparalleled concern for their physical and emotional well being. These qualities make him a rare find in today's impersonal world of medicine. It is a pleasure to know someone like Dr. Kavaler. He is one of a kind.
His office is well run, efficient, and immaculate. His staff are friendly and helpful. I recommend Dr. Kavaler wholeheartedly!

Provided by Doctor.comLeon Kavaler is an outstanding professional but more than that, he is kind, courteous and helpful. He is always willing to go out of his way for a patient. After a 30 year relationship with another GI physician, I was fortunate to be introduced to Leon Kavaler. He is the best of the best. If you have any GI issues, run, don't walk, to see him. You will not be disappointed. And if you need a procedure, his wife is a leading anesthesiologist. Try and see both together.

Provided by Doctor.comI had two pre visit telehealth calls and then a colonoscopy. Dr. Kavaler diagnosed me with Chron's Disease, whereas every other doctor I saw said it was nothing more than hemorrhoids and wouldn't entertain giving me more than a quick physical exam. I appreciate Dr. Kavaler's willingness to find the root of the problem, and he has a wonderful temperament for the job as well.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Kavaler was amazing to work with! He took my concerns seriously, spent time listening to my symptoms, and went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of for my procedure! I never felt rushed or dismissed. I really wish all of my doctors were this great! You can tell he really cares about his patients, and I am so appreciative of his care. Despite not finding the source of my pain, it was fabulous working with him, and I would refer anyone I knew looking for a GI to this office.

Provided by Doctor.comIn two visits, Dr. Kavaler accurately diagnosed a health problem that had been troubling me for years.
The diagnostic test required preparation, and Dr. Kavaler worked with me to make the process as easy as possible. He was up to date on newer prep options, which helped a lot. He detailed each prep method’s pros and cons, then allowed me to decide which to use.
Following the test, he promptly put me on appropriate medication and detailed next steps. After years of mysterious undiagnosed issues, I’m so relieved to have a treatment plan.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Kavaler is everything you want in a physician. He truly cares about his patients and his knowledge, expertise and manner are truly outstanding. I had a chronic problem which he properly diagnosed and sent me to the perfect expert to get my situation resolved. After seeing many other doctors, I am thankful that my good friend, Rachel Federman, insisted that I see Dr. Kavaler.

Provided by Doctor.comI am a nurse practitioner and really appreciate the time that Dr. Kavaler spends with me. I had a suspected emergency that he addressed the following day. I have referred him to several colleagues and friends and all of them had a great experience. I also want to say that the check in process at the endoscopy suite was seamless and have felt the safest regarding COVID as any medical offices I have been to. I also want to say that the nurses there are really excellent especially the nurse that put in the IV. I have never had such excellent treatment and care, and even though she knew I was a nurse she took the time to explain everything. I wish I would have gotten her name.

Provided by Doctor.comDr Kavaler had an air of professional confidence that inspired my immediate trust. He explained his diagnosis and treatment plan thoroughly, ordered an additional test to confirm his findings, and even arranged for the test before I left the office. His bedside manner is warm and very friendly. A truly excellent physician and genuinely nice person.
