Dr Howard is excellent in reviewing results of testing(s) completed prior to routine portion of examination. Also he's attentive to any ongoing eye issues that require constant attention.

He’s an excellent doctor. Very caring and wants to make sure any problems you may have with your eyes are addressed and taken care of. My whole family see him as well as friends.

If it weren’t for Dr. Howard, my family and I would not come to Atwal Eye Care. He is personable, listens and cares about your concerns, and pays attention to detail. His staff on the other hand, is disappointing.

Friendly and professional

When asked if my glass prescription was correct , Dr. Howard just brushed me off. We will check it next time he said. I asked if I would be able to drive home with the drops in my eyes and he assured me I would. I was lucky to make it home. I felt like I was looking through a heavy fog and the sunny day made it even more difficult to see. I had a long drive from Transit Road to NT. Lucky o have made it.

Always kind, courteous, professional, thorough and pleasant

Love Dr Howard. It’s always a pleasure to see him and he provides excellent care.

The staff at Atwal Eye Care is amazing! My appt got messed up some how and got made for June 2023 instead of this June and the girl at the front desk with out hesitation said she would fit me right at that moment. They have no idea how much I appreciated this due to my job being difficult with taking time off for appts. So thank you so much for the receptionist who got me in and Dr. Howard for seeing me and taking his time to do the exam to make sure everything was fine. I would recommend Atwal to everyone I know!

My only issue is that they charge a co pay, but the receptionist couldn't make change.

Excellent Physician, really cares about his patients

Very nice doctor and office staff Gabby is terrific

Very good eye doc,he figured out my eye issue.

Great care! Need more medical care professionals to take interest in their patients. 5 STARS.

Thorough, pleasant and very knowledgeable.

Professional, explains exam in detail, efficient no long wait to be seen.

Dr Howard took the time to explain Dry Eye and how the Medication Works. After years of suffering I now understand how to properly use my medicine. I wish all Dr.s would explain people's malodies instead of assuning we studied as they had and know what they know!!

Disappointing: rushed superficial exam & conversation re:cataract surgery. Glib responses to specific questions. Will not return despite seeing him for several years.

Dr. Howard has it all. You can tell he loves what he does, explains what he sees and compares previous exams. Sociable and is just plain nice.

Friendly, professional and very knowledgeable.

Excellent, knowledgeable

I’m sorry I saw dr J. He was perfect. I’ve seen him before and I intend to keep seeing only him for my eyes. He was the first dr. To see I needed further testing and evaluations.

I thought Dr. Howard was thorough and friendly. Although I was sent in for a contact fitting that I didn't realize was going to be an additional cost outside of my insurance. Just knowing that would be appreciated for next time.

Very personable!

Very thorough and knowledgeable. Happy to answer any questions.

Very through and answered all my questions

Had a problem with my eye Dr Howard saw me right away and is taking care of my problems. He also takes great care of my 90 year old dad. Very nice person and a good doctor.

He is very kind and professional!

Terrible. Didn’t wear his mask properly during the entire eye exam (under his nose when he was half a foot from my face during the exam), didn’t fully explain what my issue was, if I was to need glasses, etc. Brought up highly politicized issues practically immediately during the exam and made me feel uncomfortable. Never once disinfected his hands after touching doors, computer, equipment and then my eyelids. As a first time Atwal patient I will never be returning.

Dr. Howard is very professional, experienced, and builds confidence

Very professional, nice and made me feel welcome. Explained everything that was going on with my eyes.

I’ve always liked Dr Howard, however for the past 2 years he has felt the need to push his personal opinions (at length) about the pandemic, etc during my appointments. I would much prefer my appointments to be conducted without personal opinions.

Very professional and kind!

Very professional and easy to talk to!

I have been a patient of Dr Howard for over 15 years. Great practice, affiliated with Atwal if other specialists are needed. Also, eyeglasses available in his office.
