I would recommend Dr. Howard he is calm and doesn't rush through things he shows you what's going on and explains everything very well if you have any questions on a procedure he will explain so you understand those as well.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
So far everything's been great. I have a surgery scheduled to have a kidney stone removed and I feel like it was done pretty readily. I do wish I could have gotten in sooner but I also understand that a lot of the machines rotate between hospitals so it's not possible to get in right away. Thank you for everything you guys do!
