Dr. Howard has always been great, I seen him the first time in 2019 and again in 2026 he’s very understanding and believes in helping.
Dr. Howard was very professional, caring, and attentive during our visit. He took the time to listen to our concerns, answer our questions, and explain things in a way that was easy to understand. We appreciated his knowledge, patience, and the care he showed. I would definitely recommend Dr. Howard to anyone looking for a good orthopedic doctor!
