Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rude doctor
Dr. Mark Howell (not sure if he is a real doctor). Very RUDE doctor. As rude as he is I believe he has no staff because he is the one answering the phones. Don't waste your time calling the office for a referral or authorization. As a PCP he should have someone working on referrals and authorizations. He provides the referral but not the authorization. He does not care for the patient's wellbeing.

Dr. to Dr.
Blood work in our clinic reveled a concerning matter on one of his patients. Dr. Howell (being the primary physician) was called on current matters and mentioned " I will not assume responsibility on this patient and I have no interest in talking to a person who draws the blood." (assuming he was talking to someone who was not a physician) I am a physician trying to collaborate care for the betterment of the patient. I was very disappointed that dr. howell had NO invested interest in the patients wellbeing. Shame on him. Very rude old man. I am not impressed one bit. I will be writing a referral for a new PCP so the patient can establish true care elsewhere.

?He is very bad Dr ever. First, do no harm. Most doctors respect and obey this critical medical rule. They want to help, not hurt, their patients. But there are a few who seem to have missed this important message. They may look at their patients and see an opportunity to make money. Or they may see a chance to vent their rage. Or they may simply not care enough to be careful when taking care of people.

HE IS THE WORST SO CALLED DOCTOR I'VE EVER MET IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He doesn't listen much rather less offer any helpful or constructive advice or solutions. He bad talks his referral Dr's (ex: Dr.Rafat Nashed, Ortho Surgeon), and Northside Hospital. I wish I had never been his patient & am glad I no longer am. He wont even release my medical records to my new PCP. DON'T GO TO SEE HIM IF IT'S AT ALL POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
