Had my initial appointment with Dr Howard. Great first meeting. As expected my shoulder is tore up. He gave me options with explanations I understood for each one. I appreciated his approach. He made me to feel that I can trust him to take great care of me. Now it's up to me to decide our course of action & timing.
The entire staff at his New Port Richey office was great. Thank you!
