Dr. Leon Kavaler is Board Certified in Gastroenterology. He is currently affiliated with the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He is a member of the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
I loved Dr. Kavaler. I thought that he was thoughtful and pragmatic--and not rushed whatsoever. I would absolutely return to see him again. The only downside was the wait time. On both of my visits, I waited close to one hour with little explanation from support staff. In the future, I would never arrive without calling in advance to check-in on the wait--and it would be wonderful if the staff could call patients in advance to notify them of the same.
Dr Kavaler is one of the most professional doctors I have met. He quickly determined what I needed to do, but gave me all the info and time that I needed to have a say in when and how. He is very knowledgeable and also has a dry sense of humor which I appreciated since it took the edge of my anxiety. Also, he took my phone call immediately when I had to contact him afterwards. I HIGHLY recommend this doctor.
Dr. Kavaler has a wonderful way about him that makes you feel comfortable discussing your less comfortable issues. In the numerous times I've returned he and his staff have been thorough, direct and kind and he helped me discover an underlying issue that many doctors in my recent past overlooked. I now wouldn't go to anyone else.
