Dr Kavaler is a very careful listener who correctly diagnosed my stomach bleeding. He advised me to have an endoscopy and scheduled it for 2 days later. I never considered having this procedure and was pleasantly surprised that this procedure was exactly was I needed. I was really impressed by his careful list…

Excellent diagnosis and treatment!

Dr Kavaler is a very careful listener who correctly diagnosed my stomach bleeding. He advised me to have an endoscopy and scheduled it for 2 days later. I never considered having this procedure and was pleasantly surprised that this procedure was exactly was I needed.
I was really impressed by his careful listening to my symptoms and asked me questions that led to a diagnosis.
I have great confidence in Dr Kavaler.

My experience was superb

Leon Kavaler is an outstanding professional but more than that, he is kind, courteous and helpful. He is always willing to go out of his way for a patient. After a 30 year relationship with another GI physician, I was fortunate to be introduced to Leon Kavaler. He is the best of the best. If you have any GI issues, run, don't walk, to see him. You will not be disappointed. And if you need a procedure, his wife is a leading anesthesiologist. Try and see both together.

All over great experience.

I am a new patient and Dr. Kavaler saw me very quickly after my request for an appointment. He got me set up for an endoscopy and colonoscopy within days of my first appointment. I would recommend Dr. Kavaler to friends and family.

Dr. Kavaler and all the staff involved were professional, friendly, and made my colonoscopy as stress-free as possible.

Dr. Kavaler was patient and explained everything well, was happy to answer questions, and communicated confidence. The nursing and anesthesia staff were first rate. Everything was handled efficiently and with great human warmth, which made the whole experience as close to enjoyable as a colonoscopy can be.

Professional and thorough from beginning to end.

Dr. Kavaler listened, asked many questions, and followed up with me within 24 hours of my procedure. He also made himself available for a post-procedure appointment, if I wished. In addition, the entire staff were organized, efficient, and very friendly.

Really outstanding!!!

I was impressed with Dr. Kavaler's very positive reviews, but my experience even exceeded my expectations! I found Dr. Kavaler to be highly receptive and responsive, very clear and focused, very reassuring, and caring. He was extremely skilled in his clinical work, and very flexible in fitting me into his busy schedule. He got back to me quickly when I had a question, and his answers were always helpful.
