Our experience with Dr. Kavaler and his amazing tean was wonderful. I called for an appointment for my mother and she was given a consultation the very same evening, even in the midst of a Pandemic! Dr. Kavaler has a comforting disposition as he explains everything that needs to be done and displayed perfect patience as he answers all of our questions. I think my mother felt better just by speaking with him! Thank you to Dr. Kavaler, the lovely Lily and the whole team. I now know the reason Dr. Kavaler comes up as #1 when I googled best Gastroenterologists in NYC!

I am a very nervous patient and Dr. Kavaler put me at ease immediately. He was reassuring, direct, confident, and understanding. I would highly recommend Dr. K without a doubt. The staff was professional as well.

I have had several procedures by Dr. kavaler over many years and he is always caring and efficient. Most recently he rearranged his schedule to provide an emergency colonoscopy for me. Recognized as an outstanding doctor, he is an even better person.

Dr. Kavaler was exceptional. We met to discuss my procedure two weeks before in which he explained the process and answered any concerns I had. He was personable, patient and quelled any fears I had. After the procedure he explained the prognosis thoroughly. He has the best bedside manner of any doctor I ever met. I had a wonderful experience.

I have never seen this doctor before but he was my attending during fellowship. He is a great guy and I don't want to detract from his great reviews. However, with Ratemds.com, anyone can write a review. You're better off looking at reviews from Zocdoc.com where all reviews are from verified patients!

Dr. KAVALER encompasses all that a doctor should be. He is knowledgeable in his field, he is compassionate and I only wish that he was a primary care physician as well. He is totally my idea of a "real" doctor.

I am so impressed with Dr. Kavaler. From the moment I entered his office, I have felt genuinely cared for. Dr. Kavelar was immediately able to guide me with my health issue and scheduled me for a colonoscopy. While not performed in his office building, the facility that he uses is first rate. From the care by the office staff, the nurses, his anesthesiologist, and then the pre and post conversations with Dr. Kavalar I can truly say that the level of professionalism and patient care was second to none. I had a follow-up scan within days. All this to say that Dr. Kavelar is a knowledgeable, thorough, and attentive physician who genuinely cares for his patient. He very quickly was able to identify my issues, and provide thorough follow-up care. I had both in-office visits and follow-up phone conversations with him. He is a rarity indeed. Am very grateful. Without a doubt he's one of New York's finest!
