Beyond exceptional... Dr. Howe is beyond an exemplary Cardiologist. He successfully combines his skill, knowledge and training, with kindness, compassion and truth. I have known him for 14 years and he has been through 2 of my 3 open-heart valve surgeries, a brain bleed, chronic A-fib and several episodes of V-tach. He remembers my cardiac history well, and has always provided the best treatment for me. I don't think I will be able to replace him, when he leaves for his new life journey.

Doesn't listen well to me. I always feel rushed. Did not seem to be interested in discussing my issues. I will try to be more assertive about my needs.

Best Doctor I’ve ever had! Personable, honest and very knowledgeable! It’s a bummer that I’ve had heart issues but the silver lining was meeting Dr Howe! - Aiden

The problem with Dr. Howe is there is only one of him. He is smart. He cares. He listens. He asks questions and then says, okay, here’s what we’re going to do. I trust him and I go away feeling confident I am in good hands.

If you're looking for not only am exceptional heart doctor but one that also cares and takes the time then Dr. Howe is a perfect choice. He doesn't treat his patients like one size fits all, no cookie cutter practice here. If I could give more stars I would.

I have been using dr Howe ever since he recognized my heart issues in emergency room when no one else knew issue and saved my life. He is really smart and keeps updated with new procedures regarding heart problems.
