Patient Reviews
Sep 09, 2025
Dr Howe did my colonoscopy roughly 18 months ago. Afterwards, as he was walking towards me, and i was still under anesthesia, I asked him where the blood was coming from. This sorry excuse for a man threw his hands up, said "I dont know, see you in three years!" I went on having tests done trying to find out where the blood was coming from. Finally, a Rheumatologist explained it to me. Yep, a Rheumatologist. Clarence didn't tell me that he should have done surgery to stop the bleeding from the diverticulitis. He didn't see it as "bad enough." Now I stay weak, dizzy, and cant keep my balance. Ive had several other tests looking for the hemorrhage, yes, hemorrhage. Costing me thousands, taking almost 18 months just to lead me back to Clarence. They offered to let me come back so they could "do it all over again." That's what Kathy said. Don't go to these people. They're only there for the money. Besides, what are you gonna do about it, they have more $ than you!
