Dr. Howard is an excellent doctor, the best I have ever had. He did a thorough review of my past tests, procedures, etc before my appointment. I felt very confident in the feedback he gave me and the path that we chose to treat my condition. I had a list of a few questions I wanted to make sure were covered, but he had covered them all in his explanations.

As a new resident of Naples who has congenital heart disease it was very important that I find a physician that would ease my fears of being so far from my home physicians. In Boston. During my appointment with Dr. Howard it was very obvious that I was in great hands. His manner and experience proved that I had found the doctor that could handle all my issues successfully. It had made my home away from home much more comfortable. I see a very successful doctor/patient relationship ahead of me.

Dr. Luis Paz Rios and his team are truly exceptional. From the moment I walk in, I know I’m in good hands. They always take me in on time, treat me with the utmost respect, and provide care that feels genuine and thoughtful. What stands out the most is how comfortable I feel during every visit—there's never any rush, and Dr. Paz Rios takes the time to explain everything clearly. Being [ ] is a huge plus for me, as it allows him to explain medical terms in [ ], my native language, which makes a big difference. It's clear that he and his team genuinely care about their patients' well-being. I can't recommend him and his team enough!
