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.

Good Doctor!
I have been relentless in my search for Dr. Howard! I finally found him. Dr. Howard has been my doctor for 20yrs. He suddenly left Dignity Health. I looked for him on the web. I asked the staff and Doctors at Dignity Healthcare Center but they always give me a blank ugly look like I was asking for a ghost!!! I was unsuccessful and very sad to miss him. I always joked with him that if he ever retires I will still come to see him Dr. Howard is the best of the best! A wonderful, knowledgeable, and kind person. SF is a far drive for me, but I will make a telehealth appt to get back under his care.

Made my day by finding where Dr. Howard is now pra
I have been relentless in my search for Dr. Howard! I am ecstatic I finally found him. I have been with him for years and truly appreciate his care. SF is a little bit of a drive for me compared to his previous location but a drive I will gladly make. My weekend just became a whole lot more sunnier. As an aside, Dr. Brinsky who I saw one time in Dr. Howard's absence was also very very nice.

Hi Dr Howard, Its the Wilde family, do you remember us? We often remember our care with you and wish you could still be our family doctor. What can we do to make that happen? We could sure use you, and my extended family as well.

Dr. Howard- The best physician I've ever had!
I left a review for Dr. Howard but somehow it didn't get posted. Dr. Howard was my primary care physician for at least 35 years! He was the best of the best! A wonderful, knowledgeable and kind person who researched what he was unsure about and spoke in laymen's terms to explain medical events. He was/is without doubt the best medical professional I have ever had in my 66 years. My husband also thinks highly of him. We will miss you, Dr. Howard!

Love Dr. Howard!
We have been going to Dr. Howard since our children were born and absolutely love his knowledge on everything that we brought to him and his willingness to give us a real honest opinion when we needed it. Please post online where you are practicing now. We would like to follow you wherever you are.

The Best Doctor ever! Perhaps I should write a bad review so the Doctor won't get any busier but I can't. I don't remember how I found him but he treated my mother and myself starting in San Carlos and I can't imagine any other Dr being as kind, understanding, thorough, thoughtful, insightful and most of all, knowledgeable. He makes you feel at ease even during difficult times. His scheduling is to allow enough time to take care of your needs. I am grateful to have found this family and this special Doctor.

I have never meet a physician in any specialty who takes the entire person's history into account when treating is patients so seamlessly. He ties in things that I may have forgotten that maybe attributing to my current situation. His bedside manner is excellent! He easily puts one at ease. Easy to talk to and most important listens and asks the right questions at the right time! I trust him with my life!
