Has a great bedside manner and is a great person to talk to about what is important to you.
Dr Houle is the best!!! I am now almost pain free and it’s only been about 6 weeks!!
To the point, but also takes enough time to listen and allow questions.
Great Dr
A guy you can trust, covers every base , explains procedure in very understandable terms.
Dr. Houle has a great manner about himself. He always asks how I'm doing and has a genuine concern for me. He's great.
He is the best of the best. His nurses are a 10 in my book. Xray tech are top of the line. I love my OCSI family.
Take your bones to Dr Houle. You will not regret this decision in medical care. Upbeat, professional, human care!
His choice of treatments have been right on. His time spent with patient could use some improvement.
The best. Thanks.
