Had surgery. Went well. Other drs.wouldnt listen to me about pain in arm/ hand. They said it was neck. He did ,did surgery and found more damage than thought. Always get. Second opinion. So glad I did. Thanks Dr. Howard for listening to me.
Very professional. He listens to you
Dr. Howard took time to explain all the options for the care of my hip.
He did not pay attention to the CT scan and took an x-ray and only talked about the arthritis in my knee instead of the true reason for my appointment. He didn’t even discuss the imaging findings.
