Recently went for well person annual check, asked for refills on maintenance meds ( bp cholesterol) although wellness check tests gave all the data needed to prescribe. Was told to make another appt ($150) to do the same test just performed so I could get meds. I know every one likes their pay but this is ridiculous.

Dr. Howard is unquestionably the most compassionate, caring doctor I have ever met! He treats my Mother and if I lived in Georgia, I would love to have him as my own personal physician. He is very knowledgeable, works well with specialists as needed, and takes the time to make sure his patient understands their condition(s) and treatment plans. I didn't know there were still doctors out there that cared about their patients like this! His patients are very fortunate.
