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.

Condescending and Dismissive
I arrived on time for my appointment. I watched him arrive to his office late. This would normally not be upsetting but since he treated me so poorly, this becomes a noteworthy infraction. He pulled up my medical history and began to read off, out loud, every minor to major thing I'd ever seen a doctor for from age 16 onward, as though I was a hypochondriac (you know, rashes, hurt knee, flu, etc). My PCP had wanted me to see a rheumatologist and had made this appointment for me. There is not a chance I would ever see him again or recommend him as a doctor.

Refused to test me for Lyme co infections and took 20 vials of blood. Told me if I had any “I would be too sick to be here talking to him” 6 months later I found a new doctor and tested positive for bartonella through lab Corp. He should listen to his patients more and loose the condensending attitude that he knows it all. Highly discourage anyone from wasting there time.

At my first visit with Dr Cavalier I wasn't to sure about him. After following visits I felt more comfortable with him. He listens to you and that is really important to me.
