Our entire experience with Dr. Havenhill and his team has been seamless and amazing! From scheduling the initial appointment to the CT and follow-up appointment, it was easy and expeditious. Dr. Havenhill was very professional and ensured our diagnosis and care plan were thoroughly understood. We had a great conversation about shared interests and felt very well cared for on every level. Once the CT had been read by Dr. Havenhill, he personally phoned to explain the results and changed our care plan accordingly. It’s been such a wonderful experience - we’ve already told a bunch of other CGHS athletes and family friends to seek him as a provider should they ever be in need!
