Patient Reviews
Nov 01, 2024
I am new to Dr. Hower’s practice. My doctor retired after I had been her patient for nearly fifty years with the exception of several years when she was not in private practice. Naturally I was very apprehensive about seeing someone new. I had seen her before once or twice when my doctor was unavailable as they were both in the same office. I had liked her very much on those occasions and thought she was very nice and a good doctor so that eased my mind. She is extremely competent and has dealt with all my medical issues really well. I respect her very much. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a physician.
