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.

The office of Dr Kavitt is unprofessional. I was rescheduled 4 times for an appointment and decided to ask for a different referral. I would not feel comfortable being handled by a team of unprofessionals.

He's been my DR for several years and he is professional first and will respond in a polite way if you have questions but he has his own method of how he handles his appointments and he asks what he needs to know to move forward. I have never experienced him to be rude and he has followed up on many of my issues and took personal time to make sure I was directed to the proper care and departments. He is all business, Dr/Patient relationship first and dedicated to the patients health. He is kind, courteous and absorbs what you are saying, but it's always business first with the utmost concentration of his patients health and welfare. I recommend him highly with confidence.

I waited 3 months to see this doctor...please do not waste your time. Dr. Kavitt spent 15 minutes of my appointment sitting with his back towards me, reading my health records on his computer. I came for a second opinion - he gave me the opinions of the other doctors on the medical records, and told me to go back to where I was being treated before. Told me he saw that I have appointments elsewhere. Then asked me if I had questions...once I started asking, he got really impatient and started looking at his phone and shifting in his seat. Then started to be very rude. Found out later that he billed my insurance 800 dollars....for this literal joke of an appointment. Dont see this doctor for the name “U of C” - especially if the matter was urgent like it was for me.

You will not get a warm fuzzy feeling from this doctor, BUT, he is gentle and very thorough. I would recommend him in a heart beat.
