    Dr. Cavanaugh is one of the best doctors that I have had in my lifetime. He's well. Knowledged in the medical field and he knows how to treat medical issues with professional precision. He also allows his patient to participate in the treatment plan of medical issues. He is in my opinion a great doctor. Thank you for allowing him to treat my medical issues.

    Dr. Cavanah is the best & most thorough, educated Dr. I've ever been to. Normally I prefer APRNs & PA-Cs because they tend to be more down to earth, however Dr. Cavanah is an exception. I can ask him anything about any field of medicine & he knows - he's very educated. He also has a great sense of humor. I just can't say enough good things about him, I'll be devastated when he retires.
