The office staff, including Jovana and Doreen, were very friendly and good listeners, as was Barbara, the nurse. I feel bad that I can't remember the name of the technician who treated me kindly and was very gentle. Dr. Kavaler showed concern and gave me the diagnosis I was expecting. She included my husband when we talked about options to correct the rectum prolapse. We agreed that surgery would work best. She was kind, reassuring, and confident. She listened , explained, and did not rush. The staff is very accommodating. They showed respect for me, for each other and for Dr. Kavaler.

I adore and admire Dr. Kavaler. - her expertise and thoroughness. - her unhurried manner of conducting her examinations. I never feel rushed. Also, there is a fabulous efficiency in her whole practice. Before she comes in to personally examine me, the urine sample has already been taken and analyzed, the ultra-sound has already been performed. These diagnostics are already done on the basis of my history. The results are already in her hands ... making the examination much more meaningful. I also should mention that I admire her very conservative attitude toward prescriptions. In my situation she is very cautious about prescribing anti-biotics; she does it only after careful consideration guarding, in my case, against buildup of immunity

Dr. Kavaler is an exceptionally fine doctor: very knowledgeable, precise, thorough, and very generous with her time, when she needs to uncover more facts re. a patient's history—for the sole purpose of making things medically clear for herself. Most importantly, Dr. Kavaler is warm and easy to talk to, as you reveal your problems to her. The waiting room and office are clean; the patient rooms spotless; the equipment modern. They are able to perform many of the fundamental tests right there in their offices. The receptionists are very warm, friendly, and efficient. The nurses are professional and friendly, and help you feel comfortable, in what might be an uncomfortable situation.

A good experience from the time of making the appointment to meeting with Dr. Kavaler. Jovanna (at the front desk) helped find a quick appointment because I had a lot of discomfort. Dorit went over my history, took my blood pressure, and was professional and friendly. Dana did an extensive sonogram exam of several organs, and was kind, considerate, and professional. Finally, Dr. Kavaler summarized all data, listened to my concerns, recommended treatment(s), and left me feeling more composed and confident that my problem would be resolved. She completed the culture in record time, so that I knew that the antibiotic she prescribed would address the problem. I thank the team, and I highly recommend Dr. Kavaler and her staff.

I wonder why other doctor’s office couldn’t run like this one ? I think this office is truly patient-centered to the smallest details. Two examples : 1. when I asked if I can have an earlier appointment because I had problems for a week it only took less than a 5 minute wait for the front desk to get me a next day appointment. When I was checking in, I noticed that although the office was very full of patients it was so orderly almost cheerfully. 2. the ultrasound professional a young lady attentively alternate her sequence of examination to address my possible bathroom needs as soon as she was aware. Dr. Kavaler was professional and caring addressing my concerns with clarity. I hope I won’t have to see her for a long time. But I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a urologist.

Dr. Kavaler is kind, caring, attentive, and a ROCK STAR in her field. I saw her for my second bout with cancer, and had said after the first one that if I got cancer again, I wasn't sure I would go through the treatments. The treatment was terribly harsh on my body, but she told me what to expect and was very flexible in terms of arranging treatments that worked well with my body. From the office decor, to the staff, to the doctor, you will find nothing but compassionate, professional treatment from Total Urology Care of New York.

From the moment I called to make an appointment, until I left the office I was treated with the highest degree of care and respect. Every single person listened carefully to me as if I was the one and only client they had to meet with that day. The office itself was attractive, very functional, and particularly well organized. After weeks of suffering from a very painful infection that was not responding to a myriad of antibiotics I was frustrated, weakened, and quite afraid. After a thorough examination and a thoughtful and unhurried meeting with Dr. Kavaler I left with an explanation as to why I had not been improving, and with the correct medication. I will be forever grateful. Deborah Berk.

If you wind up at a urologist chances are you might have something quite serious to deal with which can obviously create some intense anxiety. Anyway that's where I was when I walked in and the 2 ladies that checked me in were totally professional very pleasant and almost immediately I started to relax. The rest of the staff was equally professional and made what could have been a very awkward exam completely stress free and I really mean that. Went through several screenings and other procedures then met the Dr. and for what I was dealing with this was the medical professional for me. Friendly, patient, spoke in terms that were informative and understandable and I left there feeling like I had been cared for by people who actually cared. We discussed treatment, outcomes and a protocol for monitoring things as we move ahead and all in a clean comfortable office or what we used to call good medicine. Thanks everyone

WOW, I had such anxiety when I walked into Dr. Kavaler's office. Within minutes, the entire staff put me at ease. They were professional, courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. I loved that tests were taken immediately as opposed to waiting for results and going to a radiologist. I've been searching for answers for years, saw numerous specialists and suffered extreme chronic pain. Dr. Kavaler's understanding and diagnosis were spot on and provided a solution. Her confidence was like no other. I never thought I would walk out smiling. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Kavaler and her staff...a special shout out to Lauren! Thank you doesn't even express how grateful I am. I can't wait for my procedure on October 7th.

Dr. Elizabeth Kavaler is the best, she is kind, brilliant and committed to helping her patients. She is the first urologist who listened to my symptoms and understood that I was not as complicated as I was led to believe. She is patient, she is relentless in finding answers & solutions to our issues. I had never heard the term Embedded UTI before this year, or that ic was a set of symptoms and not an illness. I learned that current uti testing is outdated and not conclusive for all. Dr. Kavaler is a God send.

My wife has multiple tendon tears and is extremely fragile due to a long-standing connective tissue disease. She is mostly bedridden, and taking her to any new doctor for an exam or a procedure is an incredibly risky and nerve racking experience. As an introduction, I usually email the doctor a lengthy note describing my wife’s unique situation. If we get any acknowledgement at all from a doctor’s office of having received the note, it’s usually from a staff member, and it becomes apparent that the dr has not read the information. In contrast, Dr Kavaler not only personally responded to each and every message we sent, but she also made helpful recommendations which calmed our fears. In addition, when we actually arrived, her staff was incredibly helpful and understanding, and made sure my wife was ok. Lauren, who did the CT scan, was practically standing on her head in order get at the area she needed to scan without risking further injury to my wife. Dr Kavaler then came in and spent a great deal of time with us, to the point where I actually started to feel a little guilty for taking so much of her time. A few days later I delivered an MRI report at the end of the day when it looked like they were closing up. Instead of leaving it for the Dr as is our normal experience with other providers, Dr Kavaler’s staff took it right back to her. Within minutes Dr Kavaler had read the report and came out to give me an update, which I absolutely was not expecting. Dr Kavaler and Lauren’s concern and and care for my wife’s unique situation truly blew us both away! I simply cannot praise and thank them enough!

Before I knew I’d be writing this I told my chauffeur (husband) how friendly and professional all the people working in Dr Kavaler’s office were. I was particularly struck by a protocol I had never before encountered. The technician who performed my ultrasound was asked by the doctor how it went. I thought it was wonderfully empowering for Dr Kavaler’ staff to have such an open and trusting relationship with the doctor. Usually the tech tells the patient they’ll have to get the results from the only one who can speak about them - the doctor. I assume that’s especially true if the doctor is a man. The office space is also impressive - bright, clean, modern and well appointed. Just wish my husband didn’t have to spend so long driving around the area waiting for me since he drove me in from Westchester.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kavaler for about 10 years. She is remarkable. Not only brilliant but she is one of the kindest doctors you will ever speak with. As women, we don't talk about our vaginas and bladder and uterus. Dr. Kavaler prepared me for Vaginal atrophy which is common in women in their 60's. Due to a previous DVT I have not been able to use any estrogen based product to help moisturize my vagina. Dr. Kavaler introduced me to the Mona Lisa laser machine which is a brilliant device. It is a laser that goes inside and outside of your vagina to bring back youthful new tissue. It works so well!! I am being quite open, because most doctors don't even talk to you about this. I think every woman should at least have a consultation with Dr. Kavaler to see what they can do to age gracefully. She will be a guide through the "unspoken world of women's urology problems," whether they be UTI's or incontinence. Most important, Dr. Kavaler is honest, spends time with her patients and makes sure that different approaches are used to solve a problem. I must also add that I had a severe prolapsed uterus and I had surgery about 8 years ago with Dr. Kavaler. It was successful and a quick recovery. By far, my favorite Doctor.

For some of us, a visit to a urologist can be stressful, if privacy along with knowledge and professionalism is things that you’re looking for in a Urologist , look no further. Dr. Childrey is here! Not only did she have awesome bedside manners, but she made me feel like she cared for my future wellbeing, as she pointed out the negative side effects to a potential medication i could be taking. It put me at ease that she didn’t want to prescribe medication unless it was really needed. I fully recommend her to all. Thanks for everything, Dr. Childrey.

Dr. Kavaler was terrific! Friendly, smart, and knowledgeable, with an easy, though professional manner. The technical staff was also very nice & competent. I took off one star for the reception desk staff who, when I was 5 minutes late, informed me that my 11:45 appt. would now be at 1pm. We managed to work this out though and, from then on the visit went smoothly. The office itself is clean, bright and with a modern but not cold feeling. It seems ad if every detail of the patient experience has been thoughtfully planned. I'm an RN with high expectations and I was quite satisfied.

I was expecting the worst and left feeling uplifted and secure that there are still some rare doctors out there who are still passionate about their work and have their practice designed for the physical and emotional well being of the patient. The medical assistants are very warm and kind which goes a very long way in creating a sense of well being. Dr. Kavaler is thorough to a T but since she has all the diagnostic tools at hand, I was able to leave knowing exactly where things stood. What a relief!! I will surely keep her on my short list of best doctors.

Dr. Kavaler is a rare gift. Not only is she a superb physician (five stars plus) but she is a deeply caring human being who normalizes the stigma and difficulties of living with some of the kinds of issues she treats. Her beautiful office and her well-trained and personable staff additionally reflect her respect and true empathy for her patients. I have also read her book which is an invaluable resource and help in understanding, accepting, and dealing with what's going on. She is a remarkable asset to the medical profession and sets a very high bar for other physicians to meet.

My experience at Total Urology Care of New York left me with a very positive impression. The staff was very welcoming and made my visit comfortable. The office was clean, inviting, and peaceful. I was assigned a Medical Assistant named Janay. Janay was very competent, personable, and provided me with verbal and written information. Dr. Kavaler is very knowledgeable, professional, warm and compassionate. Dr. Kavaler took time to explain the procedure prior to it being done, and patiently answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Kavaler and Total Urology Care of New York!!

The best doctors visit in years! From the moment you walk in to the facility to the very last interaction you feel like the entire staff are there for you. Doctors, nurses and administration staff are very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. They made me feel like I am the most important patient of the day. The facility was ultra modern and clean. The equipment and tools they used were digitalized and high-end. I could not be more pleased with the visit and follow up care I received. For months I have been fighting with reoccurring UTIs. I was going from a specialist to specialist with minimal results and lots of frustrations. I stumbled upon Total Urology Care by chance. I was simply looking for an available doctor on ZocDoc. Dr. Husain and her team performed multiple tests and diagnostics, after which I was prescribed special medications to treat my condition. I felt better immediately (day 1). Day three I was fully cured. I have a follow up appointment to make sure the UTI is not coming back. Overall I could not be happier with the outcome. Thank you so much Dr. Fatima Husain and team! You are the best.

Women’s Health Set Back 20 Years By FDA

The FDA has come out with a draconian decision removing vaginal mesh from the market. This decision now forces women, who need surgery, to undergo hysterectomies, removal of healthy organs (ovaries), and necessitates risky, painful, expensive and unnecessary abdominal operations to repair their pelvic organ prolapse (“POP”).

I have performed over 4,000 vaginal mesh repairs for women with incontinence and POP in New York City, with minimal complications and no mortality. Speaking as a woman, surgeon, scientist and healer, I know the decision by the FDA to pull vaginal mesh is a disservice to women.

Robust scientific data, with randomized controlled studies, is available to support the safety and efficacy of vaginal mesh in the right hands. Over two million vaginal mesh surgeries have been successfully performed with minimal complications. Heavily promoted advertisements, by financially-motivated law firms, have drawn over 100,000 women into litigation that is often without merit. This is an affront to women’s health in the United States. The FDA has caved to emotional pressure from a few anecdotal cases while disregarding scientific evidence, setting back women’s health by decades.

In practice for 20 years, I am a women urologist, double boarded in both Urology and Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. I authored a book for the lay public on urological disorders in women called “A Seat on the Aisle, Please!”. I am a Clinical Assistant Professor of Urology at Weill Cornell Medical College and an Attending Urologist at Lenox Hill hospital and Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx. At all three hospitals I train residents in both Urology and OB/GYN in the area of female pelvic medicine. FDA Decision
