Don't drop the 'very good' out of the survey results because I mean every one of them. I have had many doctors and Dr. Howard is among the straightest talking and good at listening while she deals with the technology. She asks permission to and then tapes our talks, which I allow, and she could refer back to later. She treats anxiety with information and updated knowledge. She treats me as if I am in charge of my health. She tests rather than guesses. She smiles and she has eye contact. She understands medicine works by proper management like 'on an empty stomach' or 'twice a day' LIKE SERIOUSLY.

Dr. Howard is the kind of doctor I've been looking for my entire adult life. I mean she is literally the best of the best. She listens, but most importantly she hears me! She advises me based on her extensive knowledge, facts and common sense. She takes the time, no matter how busy she may be to make me feel like a human being and I believe she truly cares about my overall well-being and getting me healthy. All my numbers have come down since I became her patient... I would recommend her to any and everyone. I am beyond thankful for her!

Extremely happy with Dr. Howard and her staff! She's calm, listens to you and we have an actual meaningful, intelligent as well as realistic conversation about my Health. I feel like I'm involved in the conversation instead of being just talked to. There is an actual back and forth which I very much appreciate. As odd as it sounds, this makes me feel more involved in my own health so to speak.
