D Howley, PA did an exceptionally fine job explaining the results of two cardiac tests I had done. Her explanations were concise and straight forward, so that I had all my questions answered to my satisfaction. Thank you for your thoroughness and care.

I felt that I finally found a heart specialist that took the time to give me a complete explanation of how my cardiovascular system is doing. She explained things in very easy to understand language. I had some concerns about medication that was previously prescribed by another doctor. She gave me my options and I never felt pressured. I look forward to working with this team!

I met with D Howley yesterday and was impressed with the level of detail and time that she spent explaining to me the results of my test. I find the care and individual attention is first rate. This is in a setting outside a large hospital medical center.
