I have known Dr Cavanaugh for many years , he is the best I have every seen. He took care of myself as well as my daughter. He takes the time to explain things and is very caring. He took care of me when I had to have spine surgery and replaced my daughter’s brain defiblirator. I now live in up state new York and wished I could find someone like him in the Adirondack s where I live. He is awesome!!! Janette Goldston
