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.

Amazing Doctor
This was by far the most caring Drs office I have ever been too. From the moment you arrive until leaving they do their best to make you feel welcome. Too many drs these days treat ppl like just another number and rush you. It was refreshing to feel so cared for. Dr Howell is an amazing surgeon and does his best to explain everything along the way. My foot looks so much better and no more pain. I went in with a dislocated 2nd toe and now it functions as normal. Thank you Dr Howell

Best Surgeon and Doctor I’ve ever seen
I have had ankle pain for 20 plus years. I had learned to deal with it. I was referred to Dr Howell by my primary doctor when it started bothering my knee. After seeing several doctors over the years and trying everything from injections to orthotics Dr Howell listened to me and found the source of my pain. It wasn’t until after surgery and had no pain did I realize just how much it hurt. Dr Howell and his staff Sam, Josette and Stacey are amazing. I only wish I would have seen him 20 years ago!

Dr. Howell was very honest and straight forward. My surgery turned out spectacular. I had the same surgery before with no success. The outcome this time was much better. I have recommended him to my family and friends.

Dr. Howell is highly recommended. A year ago I ruptured my Achilles and set a goal to be able to officiate football again this year. He not only treated with surgery, but gave great advice both physically and mentally on the road to recovery. That along with PT and the goal will be met this fall.

I had an injury awhile ago where I shattered my 5 metatarsal bone. I came to see Dr. Howell and he did a wonderful job with my surgery. My recovery went very well, and we worked together. I now have no pain in my foot and can do my every day activities. I would definitely recommend him.

I can't thank Dr. Howell enough for repairing the tendons in my ankles and plantar fasciitis in my foot. Going to the doctor had always given me anxiety, but Dr. Howell and his staff are all incredible. Not only is he easy going, but he also listens intently. Everyone there leaves you at ease. I really appreciated that. I believe he is one of the best doctors out there. I'm back on both feet and able to do more than I could in a long while. So happy to have found him.

I came in for left achilles pain and an abscess after several failed attempts to have it fixed elsewhere. Dr. Howell performed surgery on my ankle and since I have had no pain or issues. I could hardly walk without pain before and now have no limitations to my daily activities.
