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.

Best in the game!!!!!
Dr. Howell is the best in the game. She is the most genuine and caring person I’ve ever met. Every time I go in for a visit she makes sure I’m comfortable and reassures me that she will do everything she can to help me feel better. She actually listens to her patients and hears them out completely unlike other providers that just generalize everything and make you feel unheard. I have recommended Dr. Howell to everyone I know and they all love her.

Above and Beyond Care
Stepping into somewhere new is always nerve wrecking for me, let alone a gynecologist office! Dr Jennifer Howell was so friendly and down to earth. I felt a sense of ease as we discussed sensitive information and comfortable during my time spent with her. The front desk staff were friendly, and the office is very glamorous throughout! Dr Jennifer Howell went above and beyond in her care with me. I highly recommend anyone looking for a gynecologist to request an appointment with her!

Mixed Up with Other Patients
Telehealth
I have had a few appointments with Dr. Howell, virtual and in person, and have had her confuse me with other patients. She seems like she cares but is very overworked and distracted; it was like pulling teeth to figure out my next steps during my last visit. Each appointment has felt like 'which pills can I give you to make this end faster', and she never provides a solid treatment plan. It is very disappointing and none of my symptoms I went to her for have been resolved.I don't want to say she is bad, but she definitely seems very overwhelmed and has not given me the care I had hoped.

I drive over 90 miles to see Dr. Howell!
I've been seeing Jennifer Howell for over a decade now (from my early teenage years and now through my adult years). She makes me feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I live up in Phoenix and drive all the way down to Tucson to see her. I tried going to a OBGYN up here in Phoenix and did not have a good experience. I have not strayed from Jennifer since. She is amazing at what she does and truly cares for her patients. The office has a very welcoming vibe and the staff are all very kind and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Howell.

She’s amazing
Dr Howell has delivered 3 of my babies and she’s always been so great and attentive. She always goes over everything thoroughly and makes sure all your questions are answered. I’ll never go to another obgyn!

So caring and knowledgeable.
Dr Jen is amazing. She takes the time that you need to answer all your questions. She explains everything. She is incredibly knowledgeable. But most important she genuinely cares. Her staff is excellent too. She goes above and beyond what any other doctor does.

Excellent & caring
She apologized for being late when I came in, but I didn't think she was late! She was very personable and attentive, and listened to all the questions & issues I brought with me, which were alot. She helped me and went above and beyond to give assitant for my daughter who wasn't even present. Such a relief to find someone very knowledgement with great interpersonal skills. Office was also welcoming and suited to women, and didn't feel clinical.

Dr Howell always takes time with me. I never feel rushed during the appointments. Every appointment, she asks “what else do you need?”. I’ve never had a provider ask that before.

Jennifer Howell-Welle was the most amazing, kind and comforting doctor during my recent pregnancy. Not once did she rush me or make me feel like I was just another patient to get in and out the door. I love how attentive and compassionate she was for not only my health but also my baby’s. My voice was always heard and she made sure to make my pregnancy as easy and healthy as possible. Getting an appointment was easy too. Each time I left one appointment I scheduled my future ones for as far out as their calendar would go. The staff at Ironwood OB/GYN were also incredibly friendly and warming. Jennifer, as well as the nurses at TMC where she delivers were the best! My labor & delivery experience was stress free and incredible. I’ll absolutely choose Jennifer and her staff again for any future pregnancies.
