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.

Wonderful Physician
Dr. Howlett has been my PC for more years than I can count. He listens, he lectures when necessary, he is thorough (my gastroenterologist was shocked when he realized just how thorough Dr. Howlett was), he goes the extra mile to research and find out what is going on with my health, and when he can't he sends me to the correct specialist. Dr. Howlett is the best doctor I have ever had. I dread the day he retires, which I hope is far in the future!

A horrible evil person who mis prescribed a family member DOUBLE the meds they were on for nerve pain. Upon calling while he was on call for a antibiotic discrepancy...Was called back with an extremely angry voice, once the issue was explained he goes "I can't believe you are calling me about this right now, I'm just about to sit down to dinner with my family" Yelling and erratic...yet how was anyone to know what he was doing at the time? ? ? Such a rude person and a jerk. The Google reviews for the practice he owns speak for themselves.

I was a patient. Of Dr. Howlett for over 20 years. Excellent care provided. He makes as much time as is needed for each patient, really listens to your concerns, and is proactive in watching out for any potential issues. I would still be seeing him if I hadn’t moved away. I still haven’t found another primary care doctor in my new location that is anywhere as good as he is.
