Patient Reviews
Apr 11, 2023
Knee surgery 4/10/2023. Dr Howell was highly recommended by 3 different patients. He especializes in sports injuries. I really had good experiences with young doctors. He is excellent. Cares, compassionate, thorough assessment, gentle touch. Small incisions, a dot of blood, great nerve block, pain free for 3 to 5 days. Office staff well organized. I highly recommend Dr Richard Howell, he is beyond excellence!
