Patient Reviews
Nov 14, 2024
Dr. Kavaler has been my gastroenterologist for over 20 years, and I am so lucky to be in his care. In addition to regular test procedures, he has diagnosed some not-so-simple other stomach conditions and come up with treatment plans... and is never doctrinaire. He always is willing to try something new until it is solved. I trust him completely. His warmth, concern, sense of humor and plain-spoken style should be the model for all physicians.
