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.

Gastric bypass
Dr. Kavlie did gastric bypass for me almost 20 years ago. I lost 100 lbs and have not gained an ounce. I listened to every word he said about keeping it off. I do not know many thant do that. I think he is a great surgeon and man. He told me he doesn't go in to any surgery without the Lord. That was enough for me to trust him.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kavlie?
I was sent home in excruciating pain after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery on 03/01/17. Dr. Kavlie was very rushed to get me into surgery and I was sent home with a bile leak. I spent 5 days in the hospital, underwent an ERCP with stent and need another procedure to have the stent removed. I understand bile leak is a risk but also know how rushed he was and wish he had taken more time. I have spent the last month feeling horrible.
