Dr. Howard is excellent at listening and helping solve any medical issues. He is also very thorough and reviews medications, trying to rid any medications that may not be needed. For me, that is great, as I am on many different ones. Basically, Dr. Howard is the type of physician they need to clone, because he covers everything.

When going to a health care provider, anymore you feel as if you’re just a number. Nameless and faceless. I don’t get that with Dr. Howard. He listens and explains things in ways that are relatable. I’ve recommended him to several people we know who were all in the same boat as us.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/19/2025
He is amazing. I have had medical issues a very long time and seen several doctors who always said I was depressed or just blew me off. Dr. Howard got to the bottom of my issues that are real and has helped me more than all the other doctors put together. Unfortunately since I was ignored so long before Dr. Howard there's no cure. Just a lot of suffering. But Dr. Howard treats my issues amazingly. He is truly a blessing.
