Patient Reviews
Mar 16, 2024
Excellent experience with Dr. Howard. He listens and asks pertinent questions. He understands both Western and Holistic medicine and is not just a pill pusher. He works to get to the root of the problem not just medicate the symptoms. He strives to be proactive and preventative to keep his patients well.
