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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cavanaugh?
For 2021, I chose Dr. Cavanaugh because he was in-network for UnitedHealth care AARP Medicare Advantage insurance. Unfortunately, I recently discovered that Dr. Cavanaugh decided to take this plan out of network. When I first called the office, I was told that UHC was responsible. Not true. For me and I am sure many others will be impacted by Dr. Cavanaugh's decision. Now, we have to pay out of network costs. Example, $150 for yearly cleaning in November. In addition, we can't pay the cost of a possible tooth implant scheduled for November which was removed earlier this year while we were still in network. I chose this dentist because he was in network. His decision is not fair for me or my family.
