Dr. Howell was very professional and one of the most caring and understanding doctors that I have ever met. You could tell she cared about me and my health. She took her time with me and listened to everything I had to say. She's the doctor I have been looking for, for a very long time. She gets her patients in very quickly. The time I waited was due to a schedule mix up but not on the staff's behalf. They made time to see me even though the appointment time was not done correctly, again not by their office. Her whole staff was very professional and pleasant. I enjoyed my time there. You can't say that about many doctor offices.

I ended up seeing Dr. Younas, and he was absolutely wonderful! Compassionate, communicative, and really down to earth. This entire practice is filled with people that truly care, and the usual uncertainty and anxiety associated with going to a new pain management specialist went completely out the window! He explained their procedures in great detail, and they have a multidisciplinary approach to treating pain, including physical therapy, massage, medication, procedures, and so much more. This is definitely the place for me! I'm so excited to have found them.

Dr. Howell in my opinion is one of the best pain management doctors out there. However she is plagued by the office staff and medical staff that surrounds her. The receptionist staff and staff in general are rude and make false statements about patients. The receptionist staff are not doctors or nurses and it is none of their business what the patients medication regiment consists of nor when their last prescriptions were filled. That information is strictly between qualified medical personal, nurses and the patients Doctor. It is not suppose to be public record when you (receptionist) are discussing medical issues, medications or any private (HIPPA) information out in the lobby/waiting area.

Dr Cynthia Taber was great!!'

I have never really had a doctor that really cared about how I felt. Dr. Howell and Dr. Baber were both exceptional. They made me feel like I was the most important person in the room. I can't say enough to truly express how I feel about both Doctors. From the first time I met them, I established a doctor patient relationship. The whole staff was extremely nice and they really cared about me as a person and my family. I have never been cared for by doctors that actually care. It is the best feeling in the world. Caren S.

The doctor really listen to me. This was my first visit and will return for further treatment. I feel that I will get the help I need for this dreadful disease - Fibromyalgia.

Dr. Howell and her precious nurse are two of the kindest proffessionals I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. There is always a bit of hesitation when meeting and seeing pain management doctors for understood reasons. I did not experience that with Dr. Howell. She listened, cared, offered care plans going forward. I don't anticipate ever having to see a different pain management physician ever. I immediately felt trusting. This is THE Doctor! Thank you so much.
