I've been a patient of Dr. Howard for years. He is a very patient and detailed specialist. His staff is always on point// friendly and professional, however Ms Loriana will precheck you and every medicine on that list. She is the first assistant to ever purge old meds out of my chart. Thank you for such a detailed staff
