What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I have a difficult work schedule to schedule around. I had an appointment scheduled [DATE] as that was my scheduled 10 days home. The Dr. Ended up being in surgery and understandably had to reschedule. I then scheduled an appointment for my next 10 day block the following month. A few days later I was informed that this too was a schedule conflict. But was offered an appointment the very next day which I made work on my end. Was a bit of a hassle to get our schedules to line up, but anyone that's in demand and good at their job this is to be expected. When I had my appointment I saw why. Professional, knowledgeable, personable and cares. Worth the wait and the hassle for sure.

I honestly had an amazing experience for a procedure I was very nervous to have. He was very knowledgeable, calm, kind, understanding, a great listener, and one of the best doctors I've ever dealt with in my life. His office has always been quick to get me in for my appointments. Look no further for an excellent urologist. Doctor James Howard is the best!
