I called the office to make sure they had me for the appoint I booked online before I made the 45min drive. I was informed then that Dr. Howe wasn’t seeing new patients, so I can see someone else there but I really wanted to see Dr. Howe. I informed them of my concern and the front desk secretary did ask her that morning for me and she agreed to see me for the appointment, which was much appreciated.
Staff was friendly, especially the women who did my bloodwork. Dr. Howe was very nice and kind and thorough. I’m likely to return to that office.

Absolutely great visit with Dr. Howe. I don’t like going to the doctor but the visit at Dr. Howe’s office was fantastic. The office intake was quick and easy. Everything was on the iPad. The PA was very pleasant. Dr. Howe could not have been nicer. She explained everything and seemed to really care. I was impressed with her bedside manner and would recommend her to my own mother. Thank you, Dr. Howe!

Dr. Howe possesses a key attribute that many other doctors that I have come across do not; good and proper communication skills.

April 14, 2016Jeffrey S.Verified patient
Dr. Howe is by far the best primary care physician I have ever been to. Her bedside manner is excellent and she takes the time to make sure you understand every detail about the exam being performed and any findings she has. When prescribing a new medication she will run down the different side effects you may experience and the likelihood of experiencing them based on clinical trials. I found this piece of information very informative and made me feel better about trying a new medication. At the end of my first visit with her I felt like she truly cared about my health and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole exam. Most other doctors have you in and out in minutes. Since that day she has been my primary doctor ever since. On subsequent visits she remembered details of my personal life I shared like frustration with my job or my late nights impacting my ability to exercise. She always asks about my progress in those areas and I can tell its genuine interest rather than simple pleasantries. Overall I would recommend Dr. Howe to anyone looking for a new primary care physician. You will not be disappointed.

Even though I made an appointment, I still waited an hour and a half to be seen by the doctor. The doctor however, was very nice and thorough. I would see her again just not on the weekends when it is so busy. They gave me a gift card as an apology so that was nice.
