Dr Howse is an amazing doctor. He listens to what I have to say and I never feel like I am being pushed out the door

Dr. Howse always goes above and beyond for his patients. He made time to fit me in for a virtual appointment on an already very busy , full day of patient appointments. I was so miserable with Poison Ivy and thrilled when the office called to tell me Dr. Howse would be able to fit me in that morning!! He and his staff are just great! Friendly, patient, and do what they can to help. My husband and I live in Bloomington and can’t imagine going to another doctor. Dr. Howse is the best! We receive great care always! He listens, is patient, you never feel rushed. He is like a friend.
