Dr. Howitt is a great physician and it is obvious that he really cares about his patients. He is always patient and polite and takes the time to listen even when the office is super busy and they are running a bit behind.

Dr. Howitt is a wonderful, caring physician who always puts his patient's first. He always takes the time to listen, even if his appointments are running behind. He is unfailingly polite to his patients and staff members and I would recommend him without reservation.

He is always polite, friendly and easy to talk with. He is conscientious with referrals and follow-ups and seems quite knowledgeable about any medical questions I have.

HORRIBLE doctor with an incompetent staff. Not only did he over prescribe opiates. He has billed for services never rendered. How he has a medical license is beyond me.

Don't even think of changing your phone number with his staff. They are not capable of making such a difficult change. The specialists who get the referral from Howitts staff will be calling a non working number because staff can't change a phone number in a file. The OCH system is a sinking ship. In constant transition. Very unorganized. Getting something other than pills is like pulling teeth with tweezers.
