Read What Our Patients Are Saying

Doctor Kavaler is amazing. 14 years ago I showed up at her office with fears of having PKD. After careful investigations she reassured me that my condition was related to a congenital obstruction rather than to a genetic condition. This year, after kidney surgery due to a complication, her diagnosis proved right to the point. No cysts in my kidney, just a bad obstruction since birth. She saw what no one else could see. I am forever grateful for her care and expertise. She saved me 14 years of unnecessary stress. Thank you, doctor Kavaler!

Dr Kavaler disappointed. The prolapse surgery she performed kinked a ureter in my kidney, which had to be addressed with a stent, in order to save my kidney, and she put in a mesh sling which had to be removed by another doctor, as well. When I came in for my post surgical appointment, she did not address the severe pain I was in, as a result of the linked ureter. I also had to wear a Foley catheter for almost 2 months after the surgery because the sling was too tight for me to be able to urinate Another Dr at another hospital had to address these concerns, as Dr Kavaler would not acknowledge my pain or the poor results of the surgery. I know Dr Kavaler has helped a lot of patients. Unfortunately, I was not one of them. Get a second opinion and understand the risks involved of any surgery you are contemplating.

Dr. Kavaler came highly recommended, and from my point of view she has exceeded expectations. First the staff: Professional and very friendly. Dr. Kavaler: Not a "shmoozer". She is thorough, gets to the point, and gives an explanation that is thorough and understandable. I trust her, and this year my husband saw her for the first time. (We are a hetersexual couple). I have had serious urologic issues in the past, and she is the first woman urologist I've ever seen. A positive experience!

Dr Kavaler is a 10 star physician. She has treated me for a few years, when my good gp introduced me to a female urologist who respects and supports patients no matter how minor or major our urological concerns, no matter how many questions we need to ask her, and especially no matter how outside the traditional urology box our issues extend. Dr Kavaler is like a Renaissance medical woman, with knowledge in a wide ranging expanse of fields and disciplines. Because she is so knowledgeable and accomplished, she is not intimidated or demeaned by any question that patients ask. And she is like a female patient's Guardian Angel, honoring our need to understand what is wrong with our bodies and how to fix them. I have been waiting my whole life for a urologist like Dr. Kavaler. When I had a kidney stone that wouldnt pass, she very conservatively monitored the stone until it was necessary to remove it. She tried the simplest method first in her office, which was a bit painful, but her explanations throughout the procedure and her administration of pain meds comforted me. When we moved to the OR, she very expertly removed the stone and sent me home with just the right combination of meds to keep me comfortable. I know of several other women who suffered excruciating kidney stone removal post op pain because their male urologists would not give them medicine for pain. What insults to our bodies and dignity! Dr. Kavaler practices urology from a humanistic empirical evidence approach. She does ultrasound tests to determine exactly what's going on in your kidneys, bladder, and ureters, and she also looks at your uterus because its health matters to your urological health. She finds things that many gynecologists could care less about. And she sends you a report of what these tests show, right away. She respects your need to know the facts about your body. Very few, if any, urologists today examine patients as thoroly as she does. Dr. Kavaler has a staff of professionals from the front desk to the intake nurse to the ultrasound technician who are just as respectful, knowledgeable and compassionate as she is. I have never felt so protected by a medical practice as Dr. Kavaler's Total Urology Care does. In short, Dr Kavaler and her team of Superwomen deserve a Nobel Prize for TOTAL 5 STAR QUALITY care of patients.

I have bee a patient of Dr. Kavaler for many years and I consider her to be one of the best doctors on New York. She is very knowledgeable about medical matters and she suggests helpful treatments. She is careful to address all my concerns and she makes sure that she answers all my questions before I leave her office. When I last saw her I was feeling discouraged about my medical situation and she helped me to see the positive aspects of my situation. She is also an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Kavaler.

I was so happy to find Dr. Kavaler. She heads a well-organized, efficient practice, and the support staff are pleasant.I had one visit with her and during that hour and a half, my urine tests results were completed, my kidneys and bladder were scanned, and I had an examination and visit with Dr. Kavaler that didn't feel rushed. She clearly explained my problem and several possible treatments. I left feeling in good hands, and I highly recommend her.
