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.

Hostile office. Long wait times. Staff treats patients as if they are a necessary nuisance and have to be dealt with. When you sign in they want your SS#, $50.00 no show fee, permission to harass you by any means if you are late on a payment, no cell phone allowed sign on the door, and you wait over an hour to be seen. And hour and a half you will never get back. For mediocre service. There is better service available where patients are not treated like delinquents before proving to be such.

Incredibly rude. Would not listen. Had to go to Harbin Clinic to get issue fixed. Wouldn't trust with my dog. Would have given zero stars if that was an option.

Dr. Howard is an exceptional doctor. He is down-toearth, brilliant but unassuming, listens to patients, easy to talk to. I highly recommend him. My procedures have been tremendously helpful. My allergies problems have improved to much.

He literally saved my life. For 3 months, I had been going to another ENT doctor who diagnosed and treated me for sinus infections. In one visit, Dr. Howard found a cancer in my sinus. I have gone through surgery and radiation for this cancer. Now I am happy to say that I am cancer-free. I owe everything to Dr. Howard because if it weren't for him I probably wouldn't be alive today.

Took $249 out of my pocket and $640 total with insurance all for looking at my throat. Never explained that he was doing "surgery" by sticking a tool up my nose. Robbed my blind.

He was rude and uncaring about finding what was causing my headaches and neck pain. I would not recommend him to anyone. His office personnel said I had a mass on my brain and needed an MRI. He then planned his schedule so that I was to wait two weeks before learning the results of the MRI. I requested that the results be sent to my primary doctor, who even called and talked with Dr Howard PA. They refused to send it until pressure was put on them. No, I would never recommend Raymond Howard.
