Dr. Howard has cared for me for many years. He is easy to talk to and always shares medical information that I need to know. His suggestions for my improving my health are also.very good. His warm personality is wonderful. I’ve found him to be caring and thorough in his questioning of me about my health. When I need a prescription refill or a medical appointment with a doctor he recommends , he is quick to achieve the needed result. [omitted]
