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.

Best gynecologists in the valley.
I’ve known Dr. Howard for 6 years now and each time I’ve met with him, my experience was positive. He is thorough, knowledgeable and honest. After reading some of the other reviews, I can’t help but think that some of these patients don’t like honesty. Dr. Howard performed my hysterectomy without any issues and has provided HRT for 6 years. He is always straight forward and has never pressured me to do anything I did not want to do. He’s got great bedside manners and explains my options thoroughly, including the pros and cons. As far as the wait goes, I have never waited more than 30 minutes on a busy day there. Most of the time I am seen in less than 30 minutes. The staff if overall, friendly, the rooms are clean and I will continue to drive 40 minutes for a competent doctor.

Never on time
Not only was I canceled twice by his office not once was my appointment even close to my appointment time. Most times having to wait over an hour and a half. They act like that is normal.

Outstanding doctor!
Being a teen mom you want the best care you can get. Dr. Howard definitely made me feel comfortable and i was able to be completely open and discuss my concerns. He delivered my beautiful son and couldn’t have asked for a better doctor!

Best DR I've ever had
Dr. Howard delivered both of my babies and was with me through 3 miscarriages. He was so patient with me as I wanted to come in weekly for the first trimester for ultrasounds. He made my births so easy and worry free. He has great bedside manner AND is extremely knowledgeable.

Absolutely amazing!!!!He takes time with you. He waited in hospital parking lot to deliver me knowing I go fast. He came to deliver last one even though he was not on call Cuz I did not like oncall dr. My daughter absolutely loves him. He teachers all his students and explaines to them and to you. If not for him last time Oncall dr probably would have taken my uterus but not him he took the extra time and manually removed the placenta cuz it was stuck due to extra hormones with Surrogacy.

Howard was my Dr. for the majority of my pregnancy. He was nice in the beginning, listened to my concerns and I felt like I had found a pre natal professional that I could stick with. Over time, I felt the quality of my appointments were going downhill and being rushed. I attributed this to the Dr. being busy even though he was always late for my appointments. It seemed my time was cut short to make up for others he wanted to take his time with. No problem, I never really had major concerns anyway. On 6/29 I raised concerns about possible preeclampsia. I was first troubled when I could hear this man openly discussing my concerns with someone in the hall outside of my room before he even came in to see me! When he did come in, I told him how I wasn't feeling great (low energy levels, concern over high bp reading and increasing nausea and heartburn). I was met with a condescending attitude to the point where I asked why he was speaking to me in such an unprofessional manner. I

I went to Dr. Howard with my last pregnancy, even though I had to wait at each appointment to see him I felt he listened to all of my concerns and never felt rushed. He made giving birth fun if that is a thing.

Literally the worst doctor I’ve ever seen!!!!! I reached out to this office for a second opinion to confirm that a hysterectomy was necessary for me, after waiting over 2 hours he walks in very rudely and states that I either take pills to help cope with the pain or get the surgery!!!! Seriously I wasted my time and my money... Then America wonders why we are the fasting growing opioid addicted society! You should loose your license and I will be reporting him to the medical board!

I went to De. Howard’s office from 4 weeks pregnant to 38 weeks pregnant. I loved Dr Howard as a person. But at 36 weeks they tested me for strep b never gave my results.i had my son at 38 weeks they never gave me medications. My son was born by c section. He ended up with strep b meningitis that he got because I wasn’t given medications

First off I wish I could leave half a star but unfortunately I can't, I saw him with my last pregnancy 1 time & he was rude & in & out of the room very quickly without allowing me to ask questions, so after this 1 appointment I switched to Dr Sun 100 times better!!
