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.

Tops- staff too
First visit I did not have to wait long after appointment time. He explained Ernie’s for knee pain after examining C-ray in office. I opted for gel but as he suggested it only lasted 3 months. So I inquired about total knee replacement. It has not been nearly as painful as I thought. At end of week 1 I was able to get around by myself with no help End of week 2 I can walk unassisted. Key is- I’m doing the exercises. He sends an app out that describes them and keeps track of progress. Excellent.

Dr. Brock Howell
I faced constant left knee pain for 8 years getting a steroid injection every 3 months into my knee. I finally decided to have a TKR. My family physician highly recommended Dr.Howell. I had TKR less than 3 weeks ago and i feel great! My knee is sore but no longer in constant pain. I very highly recommend Dr. Howell!!!

Excellent Care
Had a sudden swelling and pain in my knee which had been replaced by my physician in another state some 3 years earlier. Referred to Dr Howell by ER. I was very impressed by his detailed and clear assessment of the problem and his recommended treatment plan. The entire staff were friendly and efficient.

Hip Screening
My appointment at Southern Orthopaedic was professional, timely & much appreciated. After suffering with back & hip pain for months, Dr Howell quickly identified my hip issue and I now understand my hip is causing 90 % of my pain. I finally have a plan that I believe will alleviate the pain. Thank you!

I battled knee pain for years and finally decided to have a TKR. I wanted a better quality to my life. A PT recommended me to Dr.Howell. Never tried talking me into surgery, he told me when you are ready we can talk again.Went home thought about him and manner and called back the next day for TKR. I cannot tell you how wonderful I feel!Walking for miles now!He was absolutely WONDERFUL!!Can barely see my scar! I owe him so much for giving me my life back!! I HIGHLY,HIGHLY recommend MY DR.Howell
