Dr. Cavasin will not listen to you or your birth plan. She has terrible impersonal bedside manners, never came back to see us after I had an induced vaginal delivered to a healthy baby that weighed two pounds less than predicted. Dr. Cavasin hounded us to have a c-section and seemed displeased with my decision to induce rather than to have a c-section. Her NP even suggested to have a c-section for superficial reasons. Dr. Cavasin will just set up an unwanted c-section appointment for you without letting you know in advance and if that doesnt work there is always another way. I had one high blood pressure reading in the office and was re-tested with the same blood pressure cuff that may have been faulty to begin with. Leading to Dr. Cavasin to admit me to the hospital for observation. My blood pressure was normal unless Dr. Cavasin was in the room. I felt like I had to constantly reaffirm my wishes to not undergo a c-section. If you want to experience an uphill battle with your OB during your pregnancy than Dr. Cavasin is the doctor and nursing staff for you. The staff does not communicate well and will not respect your birth plan. Because this is YOUR BIRTH and you should feel EMPOWERED to proceed as you want to. We understand that an URGENT medical need may lead to a c-section but if that is not what I want than so be it. The reason was that I was having a FAT baby per Dr. Cavasin (Thanks for calling my baby fat btw). Well the baby was 2 pound less than predicted and healthy. We rushed into an induction bc we had partial reason to believe the doctor but wanted to avoid a c-section due to long recovery time and other undisclosed risks. With a vaginal delivery we were advised shoulder dystocia was a risk if baby was too big but that was minimal compared to a c-section.

Why isn’t there a 0- star rating? First off I WILL never step foot back in this office. My first pregnancy ever and I felt so uncomfortable and had ANXIETY every time I came for a visit. From the time she walks in she’s already writing out the next appointment and doesn’t even talk to me about ANYTHING. Not to mention how much trauma I’ve had hearing things about my baby not growing right & she tells me not to worry. It’s not a place I’d ever pick if it was the only place left on this earth. I switched to st.Thomas & 100/100 BEST decision I’ve EVER made. She doesn’t care nor listen when I tell her important things. So glad I left when I did. P.s I was induced at 39 weeks when my NEW OB doctor said dr.cavisan should’ve delivered me at 34 weeks. BE AWARE AS POSSIBLE.

Dr. Cavasin is smart, seems great at first but was extremly negligent; with my health, privacy, treatment/beside manner. I dont think Ill ever be the same after her surgery.. she even asked if she should take it all out during a laparoscopy and myomectomy.She billed me while in my hospital stay for that surgery for a test she admitted she never got to the lab, so dont pay for it if its on your bill which was a nice sentiment. But now her office says Im sent to collections over it and they wouldnt see me during an emergency! Ive been with this office on/off since my birth! No joke... just, extremely wrong.She also disclosed VERY personal information in front of associations.Very dissapointed in her and the medical office for this breech of conduct.I will be writing her and the medical board.Hers and the offices communication and follow through skills- just arent there (on exception for Anna, whos been there when I saw Dr Rice).Be safe ladies.

The office is great. Cavasin was great during delivery but prescribed pain meds that you shouldn’t take while breast feeding and my newborn had side effects from the meds and could have resulted in emergency. She wouldn’t even get on the phone to talk to me or call me back. Terrible bedside manner.

Dr. Cavasin & her nursing staff were informative and compassionate throughout my pregnancy. I had the best experience with my Cesarean and would refer her as an obgyn to anyone. ❤️

Definitely the best OBGYN Ive ever had! Shes delivered my child and helped me through personal issues as well as my medical issues including a high risk pregnancy! Ive been seeing her almost 5 years now and I rarely saw my primary care. This team has been more than a medical practice but like my family!

I just had a baby on the 11th. My dr Helen Cavasin is the BEST. I highly recommend her to EVERYONE. More like family than a dr. She made me feel really comfortable. More than the nurses. As soon as she walked in the room, I felt a HUGE relief. Shes just the best!!:) She actually cares unlike some drs and nurses.

She was my first choice because I wanted to deliver at Hendersonville Hospitals new birth center and this was also the hospital that I was born at. The first red flag was when the nurse was asking the family history questionnaire and I was unfamiliar with one of the genetic abnormalities. I asked her what it was and she said she did not know. She never asked anyone, just continued with the questionnaire. When I met with the doctor she seemed very nice at first, until I told her I had a genetic abnormality in my brain stem that has not caused any problems and I was not having any issues in my pregnancy. She insisted on doing an MRI while I was pregnant regardless of the fact that I insisted I wanted to wait until after the pregnancy to have one since I read that they can be potentially dangerous to fetuses. She then began to try and make me feel bad for not doing this and said that I could kill myself and my unborn baby if I did not have it checked periodically throughout the pregnancy. She continued to push her point even through me breaking down. Needless to say, I decided to switch doctors after complaining to HR about her attitude and the things that were said to me. My daughter is now almost one year and we are both very healthy. My new doctor respected my wishes and never tried to make me feel bad for wanting to protect my unborn baby. I wish I had a better expierence here, but I wanted to share my story because mothers should never feel bullied for trying to do the best thing for their child.

I ended up switching to Dr. Nason! She is friendly, however she didn’t understand my medical concerns at the time, and simply IGNORED them to the point that I had to seek hospital attention for a simple test to check the welfare of my well being and my unborn baby . I actually reported and had her flagged to my insurance. I would not recommended! I’ve also seen horror stories about her on fb mom groups.
