Dr. Howard was amazing! He was compassionate to my concerns and provided a plan of care to help me get better. Thank you!
Dr. Howard made me feel comfortable very knowledgeable and almost saved my dolphins he did such a great job on my incisions they are minutely healing
Extremely professional,
Visit was alright, not the greatest. I’m sure he knows what he’s talking about, but he talked a bit too fast and used a lot of jargon. Saw him a total of 2 minutes. I waited almost 2 hours.
Reviewed my records, found the results of my previous tests and invited me to view it with him. Was open to all treatments options and scheduled a procedure before I left. I like to be involved in my treatments, he went above and beyond to include me. Great way to keep patients, he gets a definite A+
Very professional and explained issues well.
Very informative and helpful .
Very thorough, great explanation of future procedures and options.
Always Nice to See Dr. Howard
Quickly identified the issue and was very knowledgeable and took time to explain everything.
