Disappointing and unhelpful experience. I contacted the reception desk to confirm my own appointment information and was refused the details. The staff was unhelpful and dismissive, which made a simple request unnecessarily frustrating. For a medical practice, clear communication and basic courtesy should be the minimum. I would not recommend based on this experience.

Not only did Ben take the time to explain everything thoroughly, but it was clear that he stays current with the latest advancements and best practices in psychiatric medicine.

He was amazing! It’s hard to find someone who will listen to all your needs and concerns and he does just that. He also is very down to earth and understanding. I have a hard time explaining how I feel with certain things and he’s able to break it down for me and get it right on the nose.

Dr Howell was very helpful today. I have always been nervous about seeing a specialist because i didnt want to be judged or thrown a bunch of medicine. He took the time to listen to me and ask questions regarding my mental health. He was able to get me started on some medication and im looking forward to checking in with him every month. I already scheduled my next appointment and am very thankful for his help. I highly recommend Dr. Howell

This was my first experience with a telehealth appointment. It couldn’t have gone any smoother. I booked a 7pm appointment due to my busy schedule and he was already in the chat waiting for me. He understood my needs and prescribed me the proper medication’s. He was very informative and educated me on all aspects of the medication‘s.
