I would highly recommend Dr. Kauth to anyone who is looking for a new primary care physician. Dr. Kauth was my Dr. when he was in Syracuse, NY and he was the best Dr. I ever had. I was very disappointed when he left and I had to choose another provider. To any patient who sees him now, you are in the best hands. He is a great Dr. and he has the best bedside manner.

I never have to wait long and when I have needed to see him for unexpected illnesses, they fit me in quickly.Dr Kauth is excellent at diagnosing issues. He works with me on the issues I have and takes my limited budget into consideration when prescribing treatment.
