Reviews
Dr. Kavaler and his team are exceptional. He has been my doctor for over fifteen years. and is always so caring and knowledgeable.
I am truly blessed to have him as my GI doctor. We should have more doctors like the Kavalers in the medical profession!
Dr Kavaler is the kindest, friendliest and obviously the most caring doctor that I have ever encountered. He took wonderful care of me and I am truly grateful.
I have been a patient for 20 years. Dr. Kavaler is one of the best doctors I have known. He listens carefully, shares his thinking, makes sure I understand everything, and goes out of his way to solve any issues. He is generous with his time and knowledge, and kind. The office staff is efficient and personable. I have recommended him unreservedly. I am grateful to have such a committed and excellent physician.
Dr 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.
I 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.
Dr. Kavaler has an amazing bedside manner. He explains things thoroughly and calmly. Dr. K. understands patients' needs and balancing a medical condition with living life. Highly recommend.
Dr. Kavaler is a caring, knowledgeable doctor that anticipates your questions and took the time to help me feel better. Can not thank him enough. Thank you, thank you.
Entire staff is organized and caring.
Dr.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.
I 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.
I had the absolutely best experience!
I 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!
Dr. Kavaler's explanation of the results of the colonoscopy was clear and comprehensive, and his next steps will be easy to follow.
He is not only a terrific doctor but also a caring individual.
Excellent
Dr. Kavaler is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and very caring. I have had both upper endoscopic procedures and colonoscopies from him in the past. He is kind and caring, shares information in layman's terms, has made excellent referrals to other medical professionals when needed, and answered ALL my questions and concerns within on working day. He went above and beyond to help me resolve my medical problems. High praise for Dr. Kavaler.

Dr. 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.
Dr. Kavalar has been my doctor over the years. He’s thorough, easy to talk to and understand. Though the procedure is uncomfortable in nature, his manner makes you feel at ease. In all, I’m very happy to have him as my doctor.
