Dr. Dominique Howard, MD

Dr Howard was scheduled to perform a colonoscopy this morning. The head of anesthesiology was supposed to provide instructions because I suffer from migraines that get worse with fasting and anesthesia. There was a communication breakdown, Dr Howard didn't speak with the anesthesiologist and I became very sick at the office and they didn't have the correct meds to treat me.Dr Howard was rushed and not kind. I had a migraine and she refused to speak in a soft voice and she demanded that I keep my eyes open during our conversation. She was rushed and uncaring.

Dr. Howard provides in-depth patient management. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the table in order to put her patients at ease. My experience was both informative as well as compassionate.

Dr. Howard was very patient and took time to listen to my concerns and needs. The staff were great also.

The good reviews seen here are shocking. I have met with her countless times and tried many different treatments with her and every time I see her its as if she forgets every detail of who I am completely. I am experiencing daily issues that impact my daily life greatly and she implies that I am making up my pain and symptoms. She has pawned off some of my visits to other providers in the office and upon seeing her again afterward, she has gotten upset with them for providing me with new potential solutions and suggestions for my issues (issues she has not improved in over 3 years I have been seeing her).

Excellent Doctor and superb staff. Along with her expertise in her field, Dr. Howard provides compassion to her patients. She asks thorough questions while kindly responding/listening to your concerns. In addition, she provides advice regarding your overall health. I've always had a good interaction with her staff, especially when scheduling appointments, insurance information. I've been a patient for over 20 years and am grateful to be a patient.

At first, I kind of liked Dr. Howard, she seemed interested and listened. Gradually though after prescribing several meds that didn't help, she lost interest in my issues. She's not your warm or empathic type, more a cold fish type. At the same time, the practice is/was a big issue, as Capital Digestive Care devolved from a mediocre office to a giant factory. It's really hard to get an appointment, so I saw the NP (who's highly recommended). When I had colonoscopies, the scene was crazy--scurrying doctors, nobody communicating with me, and I was hurried out the door with literally no direction, no instructions. The final straw was insurance rejected one of my prep meds, but the office couldn't be bothered to call and approve the meds, despite several requests from CVS. I was left high and dry in the middle of prep. I've moved on, and hope to find a practice that isn't like an ER.

I got in to see Dr Howard pretty quickly and she was extremely attentive to my concerns. She made sure I had what I needed for my procedure which went very smoothly. Staff for the procedure were excellent. I felt very well taken care of.

Dr Howard was very personable. I felt like she truly cared about my condition and wanted to help find answers for my symptoms. She took her time during our consult and made sure I had a follow up appointment to discuss test results. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

Dr. howard came highly recommended by my primary physician and I am very pleased

Dr. Dominique Howard was terrific! The prep for my procedure was easily doable; her staff was attentive, caring & highly efficient; my entire experience with my colonoscopy was great!

Had my colonoscopy last week Dr. Howard was pleasant with great bedside manner.

Dr. Dominique Howard was patient, kind and she took the time to answer all of my many questions. Following her medical advice I am feeling much better.

My experience with Dr. Howard was pleasant. Her staff was amazing and very efficient.

I went to see Dr. Howard for abdominal pain. She was very thorough and informed.

Dr Howard's is too focused on excessive tests and dragging in patients for paid appointments that could readily be handled in a 3 minute phone call

I have been seeing Dr. Howard for almost three years. She is caring, thorough, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I have seen many doctors in my 76 years, and she is among the best. I could not recommend her more highly.

I had the same ordeal with Dr. Howard couple years ago. Very dismissive of you symptoms but will ALWAYS order a colonoscopy. She's arrogant and misinformed. I said I think i have bacterial overgrowth in my small intestine(SIBO). She told me bacterial overgrowth in my digestive systems means I have HIV! After the colonoscopy she just said your colon is fine and sent me on my way. I would not recommend her.

Absolutely a professional dedicated and caring. We have been seeing Dr Hoesrd for perhaps 15 years. She is very thorough and ensures that all the bases are covered when it come to any issues. I would recommend her highly she’s a top doctor for sure!!!

I am not sure about all of the positive reviews on here--which is why I initially chose to go to this doctor (despite having to wait 2 months for an appointment). I welcome directness in an MD, but she was dismissive and brash. There was no semblance of bedside manner. On a positive note, the rest of the staff was very friendly.

My entire experience with Capital Digestive Care and Dr. Howard specifically has been poor to this point. From numerous attempts to schedule an initial appointment to planning for an upcoming colonoscopy, everyone I have encountered has been extremely unhelpful. Dr. Howard was late for my appointment and dismissive of my symptoms but ultimately decided that I need a colonoscopy anyway. If I didn't have to pay the $150 cancellation fee, I would cancel it.
