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.

Amazing doctor that listens
He knows my health issues well. He listens to any and all new or ongoing issues... Talks about medication and never ever feel rushed. I wish more doctors would learn how better to be a doctor from Dr Howard. The nurses and staff are always pleasant to speak with. Never had to wait and the building always clean too. Just an outstanding time when I have to go. Thank you all at emerge O rtho of Wilson NC.

Medial Branch Block ablation
Professional and informs procedure every step of the way. Calm demeanor. Precise in his work. Decades of neck pain were 100% relieved with this medial branch block ablation. This procedure is effective for only about 50% of patients (per internet search) but worth the effort to at least try. Assistant is able and 'on the spot' with Dr.'s request for assistance. Procedure only first available in 1990's and with improvements in technology it is successful and virtually painless. .

Love! Love! Love!
Dr. Howard is the most compassionate and caring doctors I have ever meet. He has gone above and beyond to help me. I have never walked out of his office with confusion or questions as he has always taken the time to talk to me and taken the time to make sure I fully understood what was happening. I have never felt rushed or felt like he was in a hurry. When Dr. Howard is in the room he makes you feel like you are his only patient and you are what matters. Dr. Howard is simply the best at what he does.
