Patient Reviews
Jul 25, 2017
Dr. Howard and his clinic staff were incredible! We brought my brother down from western Iowa, and he could not walk due to hydrocephalus. Dr. Howard was so kind, showed us the CT scan reports side-by-side, and said that surgery must be done. He explained the VP shunt placement and answered all of our questions. The clinic staff were all wonderful to us. They put my brother at ease, and made us feel so confident that the surgery would help him. A huge thankyou to all of them!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
