Patient Satisfaction

How likely are you to recommend Dr. Howington?
From the FIRST contact downstairs at the elevator, I was impressed with staff and patient interaction. Then the young lady at the desk was welcoming and friendly as well. I was immediately put at ease when Dr. H broke the ice and had me laughing. He is knowledgeable, took time to ease concerns, and answered questions I had. I am more than confident in his ability, and very thankful I have been placed in his care. Having Dr. Howington, to me, is a no brainer.
