-R. K. Frederick in Montgomery, AL | Jan 18, 2017
It was a positive experience! Staff support was remarkable and Dr. Cavender's medical knowledge was judged excellent. He engaged in useful conversation as well as indulging my questions and concerns. My knowledge of cardiology was so very limited and my understanding of my condition so limited. He discussed my condition and the management of it with both useful informative and a calming, kind spirit. I would recommend to anyone.

-Richard Mintz in Cedar Bluff, AL | Jan 16, 2017
Dr. Cavender is the best cardiologist I have every had. I have been under cardiac care for nineteen years. Three years ago I had my eighth heart attack due to extreme atherosclerosis. I am a veteran unable to work and on social security disability. The VA would not treat my heart condition. They told me they would not treat atherosclerosis. I left the VA and found Dr. Cavender. He installed nine stents two years ago. I am doing good and can't say enough good things about Dr. Cavender.

He's saved my life twice. Genuinely cares for his patients. Even the nurses told me, he is always studying labs and scans, dedicated to the best possible outcome. Office appointments are a different story, they are constantly rescheduling.
