Excellent Dr.!!!
He is to the point. I appreciate that.
Felt rushed. Not realistic in his assessment for pain management before surgery. Did not show me my three x-rays that he took of my neck appeared agitated that I wanted to have him do the surgery in May. I explained to him that I have a very important position in the government and could not take off. Finally, the doctor understood the procedure and had a clear path forward yet failed to even address the level of pain either the patient have been enduring. Dr. Stubbs in the orthopedic group has been prescribing me Percocets and has given me two major injections in the last 21 days. My notes are clearly defined in their office and Dr. Howard failed to read my recent history there,if he read them then he would be incompetent about prescribing me Tylenol Before my surgery.. due to this reason, I don’t feel confident and even nervous about my aftercare after surgery. I have had multiple doctors visit RI x-rays, two major injections, prescription medicine all from the orthopedic group.
Gave good advice for the next step
The Best Orthopedic Around!!
Had a great visit with Dr. Howard he answers all my questions a wonderful dr.
Dr Howard is Awesome . He’s very down to earth and his staff are quick and efficient . O
Very forthcoming was very impressed. Glad I was referred to him
Very dismissive of issue. Suggested remedies that have been done throughout the years and have not worked even after he was told that they have not helped. Did not listen to problems and address the seriousness of issue and the impact in day to day activities. It was a wasted visit that provided no resolution for problem that has been ongoing for years and was finally debilitating enough to schedule a visit.
I liked how he knew what was going on before I had to explain! I liked that he studied my MRI and was able to tell what was going on.
