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.

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 truly knows how to work with anxious patients...he is extremely reassuring, friendly, and willing to answer any question I had. This is one of the very few times in which I did not feel rushed out by a doctor. I was also very nervous about having sedation for my sigmoidoscopy, but the anesthiologist made sure I was comfortable, and made it a comfortable, and even pleasurable experience falling asleep. If you are in any way anxious about your health, I HIGHLY recommend this doctor!!

Dr. Leon Kavaler was absolutely fantastic. He was very attentive, heard my concerns and spent ample time answering my questions. There is nothing more important to a patient that a Dr who "sees" his patient not collects his payment from insurance company for ONLY the 15 minutes you are booked for! Thanks Dr Kavaler!
