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.

The best care out there
I’ve seen Dr. Howard twice in the emergency room in the last few years and both times times she provided exceptional care. Not only did she do her part- but she also did the nurses part! She did the respiratory swabs herself, she helped place my IV, and she helped me get dressed into a gown when I couldn’t. She stayed with me and sat on the bed with me while I vomited and shook from a reaction to an antibiotic that I was on, ran tests and resolved my medical issues quickly. She is without out a doubt the best emergency medicine provider I’ve had.

Emergency room visit
When I got to emergency I had a number of medical issues related to my heart and kidneys. She quickly arranged for tests and blood draws that pinpointed the problems. I had been scheduled for an ablation in April. She contacted the surgeon explained my situation and got me revised meds and an updated early February date for the ablation. I can't say enough good things about her.

I WOULD NOT recommend this doctor to someone I hate. A wonderful friend of min went to her with severe, chronic back pain. Has had it for a long time. Surgery and shots are scheduled down the road and was seeking some sort of temporary relief. My friend was open and honest with this doctor and said that had been using alcohol to numb the pain. Rather than calling in a script, she called Health and Human Services. This is not the help a physician is supposed to supply their patients.
