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.

Total hip replacement
Dr Kavanaugh performed my total hip replacement back in mid-March 2021 and now almost 3 years later I have no pain, exercise regularly, and all of my physical activities have returned to normal. Riding horses, martial arts and other activities resumed by July of 2021. Highly recommend.

Dr Kavanagh is awesome. I’ve been going to him for years and he’s honest- caring and he always asks questions about what I want to do with my treatment. He’s kept me active for years now.

rotator cuff and other shoulder issues!!!!
The only thing I'll say is: I'm a big guy and Dr Kavanaugh has fixed my shoulder to as good or better than new. I couldn't raise my arm and 10 months later.....I'm as free to do any arm movement I want. Brushing my pool is as easy as it was 20 years ago....Thank You Dr. Kavanaugh

Dr. Kavanagh has treated myself, my wife, and three young adult children multiple times for multiple injuries, some needing surgery. Every time Dr. Kavanagh listened to our pains, and successful returned us to 100% health with his recommendations. He is a very good man that listens to and cares about his patients, spends time in discussion of the injury and clearly describes various possibilities and choices. I sincerely recommend Dr. Kavanagh as a top rate physician.

I had hip replacement surgery about a year ago. My experience with Dr. Kavanagh was excellent both before and after surgery. He is great at listening to concerns and answering questions. I had never had any type of surgery and was somewhat apprehensive about the whole process. He was very caring and put me at ease. Surgery went well. A wonderful orthopedic doctor!

Quite simply, Dr Kavanagh gave me my life back at age 46 with my two hip replacements. While surgeons notoriously have a horrible bedside manner, Dr Kavanagh was the most caring dr I have ever been to. There is something very special about this doctor, his skill, how he cares for his patients and how he puts them at ease. Very highly recommend

Excellent doctor and surgeon with great bedside manner. Dr Kavanagh performed ACL surgery on my son a few years ago and a rotator cuff surgery on me a month ago. His work is so smooth, so clean - minimal scarring and excellent results. I recommend him to all my friends and family.

I saw Dr. Kavanagh 1 year ago (June 2016) for a bilateral bunionectomy (foot surgery on both feet). After decades of acute foot pain, I have had NONE since the surgery. Bonus: I had almost no post-surgical pain. Additionally, Dr. Kavanagh was straight-up about managing my expectations regarding the cosmetic results. I've been waiting a year see what would be the final result, and I can say with certainty it was one of the best health decisions I have ever made.

Very good experience with Dr. Kavanagh he took his time to explain to me and my family. Also he was very nice to our kids when they asked questions. I would highly recommend him and his staff. And the surgical center I went to the staff there are great and friendly and the building was very clean. My experience I give it a very positive feedback of 100 ?

Outstanding doctor and orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Kavanagh did bi-lateral knee replacements and I cannot say enough about the information he gave me to prepare for surgery and his outstanding bed side manner after surgery. He continues to care for both my orthopedic needs and those of my two sons. He has an excellent staff and they all go above and beyond to give each patient their undivided time and attention!!!!!!

I highly recommend Dr Kavanaugh. I had a total hip replacement in October. He did an awesome job. He is awesome in all areas. The only complaint is that he does not perform spine surgeries.

Dr. Kavanagh has successfully repaired all of my orthopedic events for the past 27 years. There have been several, some fairly serious. He totally knows what he is doing. He has never recommended surgery when not absolutely necessary. His bedside manner is charming and, oddly enough, amusing, and he really seems to care about his patients. His staff is super as well as eminently qualified, and they all make a cohesive team.
