HAVARD HEART OF MANSFIELD
Steven P. Havard, MD
Over the 16 years Steven Havard has practiced cardiovascular medicine, the fi eld of medicine has taken a dramatic shift away from treating patients only after they are sick and toward promoting peak health and wellness— before problems occur. Dr. Havard has led that movement. With an emphasis on patient education and empowerment, he partners with each patient to work proactively toward optimum quality of life. He calls it The Havard Heart Difference. “We strive to go above and beyond just the practice of medicine, to provide an experience for the patient they won’t fi nd with other cardiologists.” That difference means seeking solutions for those who are suffering with heart and vascular disease and placing an emphasis on quality of life for everyone. One patient attested in a fi ve-star online review that The Havard Heart Difference saved his life. “Dr Havard is exceptionally knowledgeable as well as compassionate. He spends time with patients, explaining in great detail everything about one’s malady and what one can do and expect in treatment. He saved my life!” Others attest that he’s interested in his patients, genuinely concerned, never rushed, and that it only takes one visit to feel confi dent in him as their cardiologist. One patient who admits to feeling high anxiety, any time he visits a doctor’s offi ce reported, “He LISTENED to my health complaints and concerns and took the time to explain, educate me, and put me on the path to better health. I would and have recommended Dr. Havard to close friends and family members.” Perhaps another patient said it best, “Heart disease is scary. (Dr. Havard) takes the fear away. He has an excellent demeanor and bedside manner, takes time to answer all my questions with great detail. I will never, ever consider another cardiologist.” Dr. Havard received his medical degree from Chicago Medical School, completed his residency through Yale at Hospital of Saint Raphael, and a fellowship through Tufts University at Baystate Medical Center. Even in elementary school, he knew he wanted to be a doctor. “I spent my life working toward that goal,” he said. “Now I get to live out my dream every day.” A fi rm believer in giving back to his community, Dr. Havard volunteers his time to Linda Nix Center, a faith-based nonprofi t clinic that provides medical services to uninsured adults.
