Patient Reviews
Dec 27, 2019
I recently had cataract removal surgery with IOL implant performed by Dr. Howard. The process was seamless from my first meeting with Dr. Howard to my first post op office visit. Dr. Howard was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Every step of the process was explained in detail. My surgery was performed at Sharp Hospital CV and that was a well organized, professional and friendly environment. I was well cared for. I will be scheduled for surgery on my other eye in about one month and I know that the care will be superb.
