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.

Great physician with a caring and compassionate approach to managing my family’s health. Provides freely the time necessary to listen to and address individual issues, concerns and needs with a high level of professionalism, candor, experience along with excellent bed side manner. He listens and takes action as needed and necessary.

Be prepared, he won't prescribe any medications to you. This doctor is more like an air traffic controller and farms you out to other doctors and he puts it on them to prescribe your medications. I came to him with one doctor and left with 8!

My bengal went missing six weeks ago, he was my soulmate cat and found myself seriously depressed. Thus, my IBS started acting up. I felt I needed to be placed on antidepressants I had gone on previously. My regular doctor canceled my appointment and I could not get another for a month! I decided to seek another doctor in the same office. I did not mind the wait, and Doctor Howard is friendly and charming. What I was turned off by is he was training sone students and did not ask if I was alright for them to be in the room. Most of the appointment of him ordering test and referrals to specialists. Fine, whatever. He refused to prescribe the the antidepressants I requested, which up to a year ago I had been on for depression and IBS. My doctor had prescribed it and I saw no reason of why I needed to seek out behavioral health for a medication I knew worked well for me. Somehow a behavioral health professional will make my cat come back?! I

Christos Howard was extremely rude. Inappropriate and going off the wall with things that had absolutely nothing to do with my foot. No need for a drug test to get a referral to a foot doctor and an MRI. I would never recommend him. A formal complaint will be made. I hope you read this mister christos

I'm 70 Yrs. old and Dr. Howard is the best family doctor that I've ever had. he thinks out of the box and always takes the time to explain and answer every question that I have, Dr. Howard doesn't mind taking a few extra minutes to make sure that I understand every thing he's explained to me. His staff is always knowledgeable and friendly.. Thank you Dr. Howard

No respect for patients. Waiting for hours to see the doctor. Pushing for medications that may not be necessary.

This place is the most unprofessional office I’ve been to. It’s obvious that Dr Howard just doesn’t want to work. I scheduled my first appointment for A Friday afternoon. They called me around 10am to tell me they needed to reschedule. When I asked why, the reason was he simply wasn’t in today. I then rescheduled for another Friday. I left work ASAP and hit a bit of traffic. I arrived 14 minutes late and was told that since I missed the 10 minute grace period They would have to reschedule.
