Patient Reviews
Jan 23, 2020
He performed the hernia operation on me in late summer. Had an office visit before the surgery and he was right on time thorough and very understanding. At the surgery he was thorough and answered all my questions and the surgery went unremarkable. Have had no problems whatsoever. The follow up visit he was on time. I highly recommend Dr. Hower for robotic hernia operation.
