Patient Reviews
Oct 31, 2023
My 31 year old brother went in for a routine procedure from Dr Houck and never came home. Now his 2 and 4 year old children are without their father. And when confronted with simple questions, the doctor became agitated and began blaming and yelling at the nurse. This man does not deserve to be practicing medicine.
