Patient Reviews
Oct 06, 2023
I was so impressed with Dr. Howe and his team. He was extremely personable and spent as much time as I needed in explaining the procedure and what to expect. I have nothing but good things to say about my surgery. It is with the utmost gratitude that he performed the aortic valve replacement via open heart surgery. My recovery is going well and as I meet with his assistant Michelle, she is just a delight and very knowledgeable and helpful.
