His clinical manner was so fun and he answered all my questions. My son wasn’t scared and never worried.

Dr Howard is an exceptionally good listener. He clearly explains the pros and cons of the procedures I am weighing. He understands that this is a difficult decision I am about to make.

Can’t really score him, as he was stuck in emergency surgery, but the staff were very clear and explaining options to me, waiting, rescheduling, or having the PA do the procedure. I chose the latter and was completely comfortable in doing so.

I have been a patient of Dr. Howard’s for over 15 years. He is the reason I came to Northwestern. He is highly skilled and very caring. It is very obvious that he loves what he does and genuinely cares about his patients. I can’t imagine being a cancer patient without him.

I have had major setbacks with my original surgery. Dr Howard and his team couldn’t be more wonderful at their job. Not once have I questioned my decision. They go above and beyond with their care and compassion.

I have been going to Dr. Howard since my first mastectomy in 2007. I followed him to Northwestern from NorthShore because he is highly skilled and kind.
