Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Charles G Howell is a 5 star doctor and surgeon. He is the best of the best. He treated my child and many other children I know. He treats rare and complicated diseases. He is careful to determine the best treatment. He communicates with families and treats others with respect.

Dr Howell was my sons thoracic surgeon for seven years. My son had a chest wall deformity (pectius excavatum)! that' required two surgeries and many years under a doctors care. Dr Howell was always kind, compassionate and caring. He's very talented and wise and it's obvious that he genuinely has your child's best interest at heart. He'll always have a special place in our hearts. We love you Dr Howell! May God reward you!
