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.

Dr. Kanovsky has been my doctor for almost 40 years. If he was less than excellent he would not be my doctor. This visit was typically thorough and helpful in managing my health.

A competent and caring physician
Dr. Kanovsky was recommended to us by our previous physician. His tenure as our principal health care provider has been impeccable. He only takes on the number of patients to whom he can devote sufficient time. He’s a great listener and a rapid respondent to any request.We are VERY grateful to have him as a physician. We must also add that his longtime assistant is very competent!

very likely
Dr. Kanovsky listens carefully, remembers issues from the past, and gives you a much larger amount of time (and attention) than many doctors. He treats the person, not the body parts.
