    There is no way to improve on Dr Howes or her care. She listens carefully to my concerns, gives me accurate information, does not make me feel rushed and always with a kind and caring attitude. She always makes me feel that she genuinely cares about me and helps me plan a sensible avenue for my health. I would never think of replacing her with my care.

I've told everyone there how I feel about my treatment. I would (and have) recommend this group to family and friends. If there is anything that needs improvement, I don't know about it.

    Dr., Howes and staff were exceptional. They provided a bridge over troubled waters, when my Prisma Primary Care physician accepted a position with another medical community (AnMed). Rx and provisions provided by my prior primary care physician and nursing staff failed. Dr. Howes and her professional team allowed for time to secure "New Patient" appointments and Rx with another Primary Care provider.

    There is no way to improve care at the cancer center. Dr. Howes is an awesome doctor. She explains everything in a way that I can understand. She always asked if I have any questions and will answer them. She takes time to help you, and that is a big plus. All the employees at the cancer center are awesome, from the doctors to the receptionists. I'm always greeted with big smiles and that also helps put you at ease.

    Dr. Howes is the absolutely best physician I have ever worked with. She sets the standard by which all other physicians should be measured with respect to caring for and about the patient, to posessing superior technical knowledge, and to showing a willingness/readiness to adapt plans (to accommodate patients) while maintaining essential Healthcare protocols.
