Dr. Howard provided a detailed Operative Report to make sure I understood what was done, and then took the time to explain it, and answer all of my questions.

He is very knowledgeable and gets quickly to the point. Unfortunately he is in a hurry and half way out the door before he engages. He inquires about questions or concerns clearly indicating that he has no time for it. Not a good experience to build trust and confidence with a patient. Patients are not merely numbers nor should a doctor just focus merely on a quota of patients per day.

Peter Howard, M.D. is an orthopedic surgeon, specializing in arthroscopy, sports medicine, and ligament surgery. He is currently a team physician for the Toronto Blue Jays and Dunedin Blue Jays. He completed his undergraduate degree at Michigan State University, medical degree at Wayne State University, and his residency at Western Michigan University. During his sports medicine fellowship at the Houston Methodist Hospital, Dr. Howard worked cared for the Houston Astros, Texans, Dynamo, Rockets, the Rice University Owls, and the NASA astronaut corps at the Johnson Space Center.
Dr. Howard treats the full spectrum of disorders affecting joints, cartilage, and ligaments. His special interests include joint preservation surgery, misalignment of the patella, shoulder injuries, shoulder replacement, hip tendon and ligament injuries, fracture care, sports injuries such as ACL tears, and biologic treatments.
He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). Dr. Howard is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons (ABOS). Dr. Howard stays up to date on the newest treatment options so that he can provide the latest treatments to his patients. He is a consultant for ConMed Corporation, helping engineers and designers of medical devices make their products better for patients.
Dr. Howard’s treatment philosophy is to try to exhaust all non-surgical options before considering surgery. He works with his patients to educate and explain their condition so that they can fully understand their treatment options. If surgery is a choice made by the patient, he believes in being with the patient through their full course of surgery and recovery. He also works closely with the physical and occupational therapists that care for his patients.
In his spare time, Dr. Howard enjoys spending quality time with his wife and caring for his five children. He enjoys fishing, boating, and cooking for his family.
