The Buff states:
"While
Dr. Havsy is not my primary care doctor,
he saved my life. During my
regular pain-med appointment, I told him
about the chest pain I was having. A few
days before I went to my family doctor
who took an EKG but never got back with
me regarding the results. Dr.
Havsy sat and listened to my complaints
and immediately suggested I see a
cardiologist and lung doctor.
Within a week I had an emergency stint
put in for a blocked heart vessel.
Three days later my primary care
doctor's office called to tell me 'I
needed to see a heart doctor.'
They were surprised to learn I already
had a stint put in. The heart doctor
said Dr. Havsy's insistence that I
immediately see a cardiologist was the
reason I am still alive today. All
Dr. Havsy did was listen to my problem,
something my family doctor didn't have
time for."

"I
injured my low back about 2 years ago
and had back surgery. Still in pain my
last doctor wrote me off and said I
could go back to work in the
construction field. I checked around and
someone mentioned I go see Dr. Havsy as
he is pro-patient and doesn’t let the
insurance companies tell him what to
do. He spent over an hour with me on
the first exam and explained to me so I
understood what was going on. He agreed
to take my L&I case. He reviewed my
records and noted problems with what I
was capable of doing and what my last
doctor just signed off on. He spent to
time to discuss these issues with my
vocational counselor and send
information to my claims manager. He
also sent me for additional treatment
that helped my back pain though I know I
will have to live with some pain. I am
now enrolled in a new training program
and will graduate soon and can on with
my life. Dr. H is very thorough and
tells it like it is. He is also a cool
guy and you can talk to him about
anything."

"It's kind of funny rating someone with
an education and skill set that is
completely out of my and most people's
expertise. It's kind of like trying to
rate an astronaut or an actor or any
other professionals life long, earned
occupation that I or most people outside
of these fields, really know nothing
about. I can give you a humble novice
clients opinion though...Dr. Havsy's
honest to a fault, but I was raised
where that was a good thing. He's gives
you his straight forward and honest
professional opinions and genuinely
cares about the outcome of his patients.
He never over diagnoses with unnecessary
procedures or too many medication
options. If you want your hand held,
he'll do that too, but he cant tell you
the sky is green when he (and you) know
it's blue. He's very professional, very
ethical and guess what, HE'S FUN...The
Living and Wellness Center is clean,
well organized and appears to have been
professionally decorated. Comfortable
chairs and plenty of magazines all
around."

"I
met DR. HAVSY about A year ago, After
going to Suboxone .com I had the
unfortunate experience of meeting some
drug dealers with DR. in front of there
name. when I met DR. HAVSY I was A husk
of A human being, hooked on OXIES and
everything in-between, He cared enough
not to play into my addict B.S and
helped me to stop using 4 different
narcotics. As A result my life has had A
dramatic change for the better. I am 40+
lbs lighter and now have the tools
needed to live A healthy and productive
life. The man has A gift. thank you for
my life back DR. HAVSY."

"It was recommended that I see Dr. Havsy
because of a chronic neck problem. I was
treated by my chiropractor. I got some
improvement but after 6 months I still
had the pain. After my exam he
recommended I get an MRI of my neck and
after he went over the results he had me
go see Dr. Serra in Puyallup. I received
a series of injections and my pain
significantly improved. I have reduced
my amount of pain meds I got from other
doctors. I also read the review of those
patients that feel they got ripped off.
One was obviously a drug seeker and Dr.
Havsy tells it like it is. The other
patient went to see Dr. H because it
sounds like the former doctor cut them
off. I am sure that Dr. Havsy did a
thorough eval. Just that that patient
did not get her drugs. Dr. Havsy is very
knowledgeable, up-front and doesn’t BS
you."

"I
have been seeing Dr Havsy for 3 and a
half years. He makes sure the patient is
informed and has the new patient go
through drug screening, does an initial
exam, and has them checked by other
professionals to make sure the person is
not a drug abuser and that they truly
needs the medication for an ongoing
medical need. He also likes to have past
MRI's, x-ray's etc and other MD's
opinions on the patients health as well.
He carefully sees the new patient once a
week for the first few months, to make
sure he is getting them on the correct
dose, where they also fill out a daily
record of what their pain level was etc.
and doesn't take and shortcuts. He has
always given me the impression that he
honestly wants to help a chronic pain
patient have a full and rich life. I
have also recommended Dr Havsy to
several of my friends for help."

"I
have been a patient of Dr. Havsy on and
off for several years. I read the two
negative reviews and his responses. Dr.
Havsy's office was smoked damage and it
was messy. That is what you would
expect. Some people are idiots and have
nothing better to do then to be negative
and complain. The person who felt they
got short changed must have been high on
drugs. Dr. Havsy sets aside 1 hour for
each new patient, performs an in-depth
history and an appropriate exam which
does not take long because if the doctor
listens, the diagnosis can usually be
made. Dr. Havsy is not one of those
doctors who dispenses narcotics like
candy. ONE MUST ASK WHY THIS PERSON WAS
SEEKING PAIN MEDS FROM DR. HAVSY.
Because the last doctor they went to did
not want to write for pain meds. Dr.
Havsy is honest and ethical because he
could have given the patient what they
wanted. In his opinion that patient did
not warrant pain meds. If you want a
pain doctor who knows what he is doing,
see Dr. Havsy!"
06/19/10 Nick states:
"Dr. Havsy is an expert in Chronic Pain
Management. He requires the truth, a
sense of humor, and for you to follow
his directions accurately. If you can
follow these directions he will help
you. He has many years of experience
including military. He is very good and
will stand behind you. Very smart and
also a good person. It is a busy
office."

"Dr. Havsy is a very professional and
compassionate doctor, dedicated to
solving the pain problems of each one of
his patients. You should definitely go
see him with any problems you may have,
he will really help you out!"
