Great doctor. All of the texts and emails and texts and calls before an appointment is pretty annoying. Surgery is expensive kids!

Dr Howard made me feel like he was genuinely interested in my issues. He tried to take care of a problem that was not addressed by my previous physician.
This was my first visit to Dr. Howard and I hope I have the same type of service in my follow up visit.
