Patient Reviews
Jan 21, 2023
Like the others have said, Dr. Howard listens, does not judge, and is wholly empathetic of your issues. If one solution doesn’t work, she helps find another until things are resolved. I, too, an extremely lucky to have found such a pleasant and steady GP to create a healthcare relationship with. A first for me, and I’m continuously grateful.
