Very nice and easy to talk to..
Excellent, great personality
Dr Houle and his PA Devin are so kind and helpful. He replaced my left knee 14 years ago and I’ve had only positive results.
Dealt with knee issue. Told me what he thinks happened. Gave me a shot and wants to follow up in a few weeks. My knee is feeling better. Optimistic that he will remedy my issue.
Dr Houle is the best.....
He was okay, first time we met also. Spent more time with the nurse a radiology techs. He was short a to the point. I had thought I would have been a candidate for knee surgeries, but he said no. I guess I was just used to seeing my previous orthopaedic, Dr Blank, Since I moved to Herrin I had to find all new doctors.
They were very busy but waiting time was not bad at all and everyone was very professional.
He’s Wonderful !!!
great guy
He’s Awesome !!!
