Reviews
I’m a military member. Dr. Howard was recommended to me by a coworker of mine. I had a deviated septum and my tonsils and uvula obstructed my breathing. I came in and set a date for surgery. Surgery went as well as it could’ve, Dr. Howard and staff did absolutely everything they could for me. Highly recommend.
I saw Dr. Howard today and it was an amazing experience! I was very hesitant because I had been to another ENT in town who pushed a $300 bimonthly homeopathic remedy on me, not covered by insurance. Dr. Howard's attitude, since I've previously done immunotherapy shots before, was if it isn't broken, don't fix it! I can't wait to get relief again. Thank you so much, Becky and Dr. Howard!
Dr Howard provides exemplary care. He takes all the time necessary to explain your scenario and all options available to you. I particularly appreciated that he doesn’t rush into surgical options and first attempts non-surgical approach. His staff is very professional and attentive to my requests. Any issues in Dr Howard’s field, do not hesitate to go see him!!!
All doctors could learn from Dr Howard's personality, professionalism, caring mentality, and amazing bedside manner. He is definitely in my top 3 of all doctors I have ever been in contact with.
Dr. Howard and his staff are great! If anything happens, he is very accessible and reliable. I appreciate the exceptional level of care he’s provided for me, and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Dr. Howard took great care of my daughter throughout her nasal surgery. After seeing several doctors over a period of several months, he was the only one that took the time to actually listen to her and finally diagnose her! This was especially reassuring as she going to college in Rapid City and is eight hours from home. The Same Day Surgery Center where he did the surgery was a wonderful place with a fabulous staff as well. If I ever need nasal surgery, I would travel the eight hours to have Dr. Howard be my surgeon. Highly recommend him!
We were extremely Impressed with the care we received for Loren Weishaar before during and after his surgery. Dr Howard even personally called Loren the day after surgery to see how he was doing. Will recommend him to everyone Loren rates him a 10 star across the board
I had the best surgery experience with Dr. Howard & his staff. Would highly recommend him. Professional, smart, caring, committed to doing 110% Thank you
Dr Howard did a surgery to treat an infection on our son. Best experience. Clean, modern office. He clearly cares about the details. We couldn’t be happier.
Fixed my uncles nose and he was very happy with everything.
