Patient Reviews
Mar 19, 2022
Dr Howard has helped me with multiple issues and was spot on every time. Took time to listen to what was going on. Operated on both hands for carpal tunnel and trigger finger in each. Currently treating tennis elbow and also treated neck issue. Always treats non surgical if possible, which I appreciate. Surgery is last resort. The staff is very friendly and professional. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
