Dr Cave is extremely thorough and always takes time to answer any questions I may have. He may run late many times, but I would much rather wait for an outstanding doctor like him than wait for a doctor on time who doesn't care about my issues. I would highly recommend Dr. Cave to anyone looking for a provider in Navarre.

Worthless doctor; told my daughter at her appt that she needed to lose weight; she is 114 and 5'5; how this guy is practicing after battery charge and drug charge reflects on the clinic and company; won't be going back unless he is gone; doesn't matter what time your appointment is you just effing wait and wait and wait...unprofessional and doesn't know anything about medicine; must have bought his medical degree with that attitude

I started seeing Dr. Cave in 2010. He takes up time with every patient and he listens and doesn't rush you out the door like some do. He gets to the problem and solves it. Extremely helpful. I love how he explains things PERFECTLY. Very nice and friendly staff. So glad we found this Doctor.

Awesome doc. He will continue to be my doctor. Everyone has their drug of choice. A Dr with a small amount of weed shows just how harmless weed is. Alcohol is the devil. It's time for flolkrida to get their redneck assess out of there heads and realize pot isn't going away. I welcome the day I can get a script for weed and stop taking the pills that are messing up my body. Time to legalize folks. Save our favorite Dr! Or he will move to a state that appreciates him.

Dr. Cave is a "Doctor" who treats patients like family, not a "physician" who treats patients by protocol and invalidate their health conditions as though they were strangers. Dr. Cave is a KEEPER!!!
