He's the first Dr who actually listened to what I'm dealing with , hopefully he'll be able to find the problem
Dr. Howell is a highly-qualified, personable, and patient-centered physician who answers all questions posed. He has several offices around the county. His office staff keeps in touch with patients. I would highly recommend him if the need arises.
