I love Victory Medical. It’s like one stop shopping, lab work, X-ray, pharmacy and more all under one roof. But, my number one reason is my GP - James Howard he is the best listener, compassionate, knowledgeable, professional individual.

I’ve been seeing Jim Howard for several years now and he is a great listener, does a thorough examination and answers all my questions and he is super friendly. All of the Victory Medical staff I’ve encountered now and in the past have been amazing.
May 23, 2023Roel Gary G.Verified patient
This is just a new program they are using.. ive been going to Victory med for many years.... i go not because of the booking software but because of the staff. So some of your questios are worded incorectly.
I do have one critique.....
You should add google calendar..... i was not totally sure of the time and had to refer back to an email..... so as far as the program is concerned....victory med did BETTER before.....

I really appreciated the straight forward nature of James Howard. He was friendly, and suggested things for my health that I am now looking into, ie Victory Allergy. The wait time was short and I was in and out pretty quickly.

Jim’s always super cool and easy to talk to about my health. I’ve moved from Austin, but am willing to drive about 50 miles to continue to see him.
More than 1 year agoMark D.Verified patient
i've been going to see Jim for years, probably about 15 now, whenever i get hurt or sick and he's always been professional and personable with me and that helps a LOT with my anxiety about going to the doctor.

Jim always listens and has suggestions that are helpful to me. I have been seeing him for a few years now and feel he is very in the know about meds and natural health.
More than 1 year agoJudith P.Verified patient
James Howard provided the necessary medical attention that I required, but he barely provided any bedside manner. He also seemingly tried to avoid a thorough inspection until I requested he do so.
I will look elsewhere before going back to James Howard.

My PA-C, James Howard, was excellent in all areas a new patient needs to have! He reviewed my history, had an excellent bedside manner, listened to my needs, and did everything I came to the doctor for.

Second appointment went much better.
More than 1 year agoLauri A.Verified patient
I felt like I was well cared for, & my visit was efficiently handled. Everyone was really nice. They make you feel like every moment still counts. They asked questions that felt pertinent, & they even offered to do more tests if I wanted to, & were upfront about pricing (since I don’t have insurance). I was nervous about my blood being drawn, but it was the least painful sample taken ever! Thank you to everyone at Victory Medical.
June 23, 2020Leda G.Verified patient
He was pleasant but very brisk, seemed hurried and I felt like I was taking up too much time when I asked questions. Had the impression of get in and get out. When the exam was over I was hurting so bad I was holding back tears and he never once ask if I was alright. He came highly recommend by a friend.
