DR. KAVALAR takes the time to actually explain your results and calls to follow up. Too many Dr's don't actually take time with their patients anymore. Dr. Kavalar is amazing and I highly recommend!!! I wish he could be my general Dr. as well!!!

Every time I have seen Dr K he carefully listens to my concerns. There is no one size fits all. He is extra intelligent and compassionate and weights all the options

Dr. Kavaler has been my gastroenterologist for over 20 years, and I am so lucky to be in his care.

Over the last several years, Dr. Kavaler has performed both my colonoscopies and an endoscopy, and each time I’ve felt completely safe and well cared for. As an 81-year-old, that peace of mind is invaluable.I’d also like to acknowledge his wife, Dr. Jill Kavaler, who is an ... read more

Dr. Kavaler was super professional, thoughtful when explaining the procedure and thoughtful when explaining the results. He sat with my husband and I and was very concerned and caring. He explained how we are going forward with the condition and the symptoms. The medical staff were all friendly, professional, and went thru all the steps pertaining to the tests that were going to be performed.

A consummate professional with a heart of gold. Always available for a question. Superb colonoscopy and endoscopy. My husband also adores him and Jill his wife the chief anesthesiologist. If you get both you will be thrilled. No finer physicians anywhere in the country.
