Dr.Howard takes his time and listens very carefully. I feel that he is especially good at explaining why Flu, tetanus, shingles and tests are important. I would highly recommend Dr.Howard. My [omitted] year old son will be a new patient. I can’t imagine any other doctor for my son.

Dr. Howard is an excellent physician. He is highly competent and takes the time to thoroughly review your medical history at each visit. He is proactive about preventive care, ensuring that you are up to date on all recommended vaccinations and screenings. Most importantly, he is kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. I feel well-informed and confident in the care I receive from him, and I would highly recommend him to others.
