Dr. Crystal Kavanagh

Dr. Kavanagh literally changed my life!

When I had to have a gastroscopy I was extremely nervous before the procedure and she was so incredibly kind and took the time to reassure me and make me feel comfortable. When the results were in and I needed surgery, she fully explained the process to me and was so kind and compassionate making sure I had all of my questions answered before I left her office.

On the day of my surgery I was nervous right until I got into the operating room and then speaking to her I felt so comforted knowing I was in such great hands! The results of my surgery were life changing for me and I am so grateful that I was lucky enough to have her as my surgeon.

In every interaction I've had with Dr. Kavanagh, she has shown nothing but warmth, care and compassion. This bedside manner along with her medical expertise truly makes her one of a kind and I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Kavanagh, I am forever grateful to you!

Dr. Kavanagh literally saved my life. I was diagnosed with a Hiatus Hernia and was in extreme pain. I was very fortunate to have met Dr. Kavanagh who really listened to me and actually did something about my condition. She scheduled me for surgery but unfortunately, my condition degraded quickly before my scheduled date. I was forced to go to the ER several times but was sent home each time without any resolution of my condition. Due to extreme pain and discomfort, I went to the ER again on March 1st. This time Dr. Kavanagh was at the hospital and was called into the ER to see me. When Dr. Kavanagh saw my CT scan and other reports from ER, she insisted that I have immediate surgery. By the time I made it to the operating table, my hernia had ruptured. Thankfully, Dr. Kavanagh was able to perform emergency surgery and saved my life. Without her, I would have died in the ER. Thank you very much Dr. Kavanagh for saving my life. The world needs more doctors like her. She is an amazing, brilliant, compassionate, and down-to-earth surgeon with an exceptional bedside manner.

Dr. Crystal Kavanagh is named perfectly, she is an absolute precious gem! My mom is a senior scared to death about cancer in her lung, Dr K was so patient and caring, and so gentle with my mom who is petrified about cancer.

Dr. K and her assistant Gina went over and above to make her comfortable.

When dealing with cancer, the wait is terrible in worry for tests and results, however, that was never an issue with Dr K! We received dates and results as promised, updates were always readily available.

I have never met a medical team, so professional, and so comforting when going through the most scariest thing in your life.

I 1000% recommend Dr K and her assistant, Gina, as they are truly second to none!

Thank you so much Dr K and Gina for all your support and professional guidance in the most gentle, caring way imaginable.

Truly a godsend!! We were so blessed when my daughter was placed under the care of Dr. Kavanagh following a spontaneous lung collapse . After days of multiple botch chest tubes, in and out of emerge - FINALLY, Dr. Kavanagh took matters into her own hands. She quickly re-accessed the situation, admitted her under her care and got her into emergency surgery to repair the lung. Not only is she an incredible surgeon, she is hands down, the most compassionate doctor we have ever met! SHE LISTENS and is very respectful. Never disregards how you are feeling. She is down to earth, explains everything we need to know and her followup is exceptional! Dr. Kavanagh certainly takes great care of her patients. We are so very grateful for her!

Dr Kavanagh is a great, compassionate and caring surgeon. She is trustworthy, straight forward and thorough with information. She was reassuring and supportive during a very trying time. I had a very successful surgery. She made sure I best care possible during my recovery at the hospital and continued to check in on me while at home. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for all your help. Thank you to Gina for being so understanding and patient with me. Thank you to all the staff at Southlake Hospital. You did a great job and made recovery easy for me. Thank you Dr Kavanagh for giving me my life back.
