Patient Reviews
Apr 22, 2023
We have been seeing Dr. Howard for about 15 years. Though he is not very thorough and generally not excited about one's care, he has been adequate - but that was during times of stability. Now, we have a crisis, a SEVERE flare, causing my spouse terrible unrelenting pain and disability - he cannot sleep, he cannot eat, he cannot move the affected limb, and it is swollen easily to twice its normal size! The pain is excruciating - it's a full flare. We called once, twice, and three times this week, begging for an appointment. My spouse has seen him for 15 years. Yet, because he did not come during COVID, he's been dropped from the practice. It is very important to note that, with one exception, he was stable during that time and so did not have a doctor appointment at that time - the doctor never indicated that we were to come during that time or that we were to do follow-ups beyond the as-needed ones always had before (AND it is they who refused to schedule him during COVID when he had a small flare, referring him to his PCP instead during that time! - had they allowed us to come, my spouse would have still been "in" the practice). Now, the office refuses to schedule an urgent, or even a regular, appointment. They refuse to leave a message for the doctor. We were never informed that he was dropped, now leaving us with no one for his care, particularly during this urgent time - and dropped NOT because we backed out, but because the office did not schedule us during COVID (despite our request then), nor were there "regular" follow-ups since the doctor was only seeing him on an as need basis before anyway (and he was otherwise stable). Anyway, they have deleted him from the practice and are making him wait weeks for an appointment, that for something that is so severe that I know we will likely end up in the emergency room soon. He has seen his PCP, who feels this is so severe he needs to be seen by a specialist now. We have tried seeing two orthopedic specialists this week in desperate hope for help, since Dr Howard will not see him - they both say it HAS to be seen by his rheumatologist, now. I shared this with Colleen, Dr. Howard's practice manager. Instead, she was cold and indifferent. When asked where we could go, what options with other practices there might be, she was not helpful. I also reminded her that he cannot be abandoned, that a patient has a right to be informed of when they are dropped from a practice. She tells me I am wrong. if you want a lackluster but adequate doctor during stable times, and want absolutely NO care and abandonment during a flare of your rheumatologic condition (and to at the same time be treated without any respect or mercy), then Dr Howard is the doctor for you!
