I was very impressed as how little my shot hurt. I had expected it to be much more so and I have not had any further pain.

From my first PMG visit with the surgeon PA for an initial consultation and x-rays to the second visit with Dr Howe for the cortisone shot everything was professional and quick. Wait times after check-in were very reasonable.

I am happy have the opportunity to say how impressed I was with the attention and care I received by Dr. Howie and his assistant. He was so engaged and helpful during the procedure that due to his skill and calming manner I really wasn't anxious at all and it was over before I knew it. My sister was with me and we were both very pleased with the visit. I must say that when one is in lot of pain it's wonderful to be treated with care and professionalism. Thank you, I have been a patient with Providence for many years and have been very satisfied with the care.

Dr. Howe was very thorough and explained each step in my procedure. His assistant was very polite and kept my mind off of what was being done but yet still was very in tune with the Dr. During the whole procedure. Would highly recommend and would go back to him again definitely.
