Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent and Caring
Dr. Kavy was prompt, considerate, caring -- tuned in to my complicated problem with empathy; immediately focused on how to substantially improve my condition.

I love Dr. Kavy! He is knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and just plain old nice! I’ve been going to him since 2009. He’s been through every asthma flare up and he always knows just want to do. I’ve had to change insurance recently and have had to see other docs for now. But as soon as I get my better insurance back, you better believe I’m going back to Dr. Kavy! He’s an amazing doctor and hands down the best guy to do the job!

I've been a patient of Dr Kavy for 9 mos. I went to Dr Kavy on someone else's recommendation and I would recommend him also. He's person-able, thorough, straightforward and knowledgeable. Appointments are not always available as soon as I would like but he does have a NP, and 2 offices to help if appointment timing is more urgent.
