Although the doctor seems knowledgeable and capable of doing a good job, he has unfortunately chosen a path of maximizing profit over care. The office resembles a factory. Patients are checked in normally and then the assembly line treatment begins. First, you are brought in to see a technician that as quickly as humanly possible runs you through a couple of simple tests in small rooms that are shared with other patients and technicians. Then you are placed into another waiting room with other patients for a few minutes. Then, you hear your name called from a distant location. You dont know where to go until you hear your name called again down the hall. You follow the distant voice to find the doctor calling for you and directing you to wait in another room. This room is private, but you will only be in there for 90 seconds. This room is where the doctor performs his portion of the exam in record time. He even has is pleasantries planned and summarized. No later than you are seated, you are back to the second waiting room. There is no way the doctor could notice any details within your eye in the manner and speed with which he conducts his examination. You might as well just look at your eyes in the mirror and make your own diagnosis. A few minutes later, you will be called again to either pay and leave, or run through another test if requested. They also bill for everything upfront, which makes sense, because if I had known the kind of treatment I was about to endure, I wouldnt have paid. During my visit, the technician did not perform the correct test the doctor requested and in his rush the doctor did not make the technician perform the correct test and instead just worked with what he had. This was a huge insult as I had paid for the correct test and the doctor knew I was hearing the whole conversation as I was standing right next to him. At the end, as the doctor was writing in my chart, he took a phone call and could barely figure out what to write as he stumbled through the phone call. In my 90 second exam with the doctor, he was so rough with my eyes, that they actually hurt when the anesthetic wore off. Between my lack of confidence in his clean bill of health for my eyes and the pain he inflicted upon them, I made an appointment with another ophthalmologist to make sure my eyes were undamaged. This office is surely profiting immensely, but its at the cost of the patients care and if not already, will surely one day cost a patient their sight from careless treatment and diagnosis. Appointments are of course always available here, even with short notice, as no time is spent on the patients. The most time you will spend there is in the first waiting room before you are checked in. I am inclined to believe that all of their patients are first time patients as I cannot imagine anyone voluntarily returning. Steer clear of this location and these doctors. Your health is not their concern.

Dr. Howitt is the definition of quality care. His bedside manner is one of a seasoned and caring professional who takes a personal interest in his patients. He asks questions and doesnt rush thru the examination process. He takes time to explain each test and examination so you dont felt like a test subject rather you feel confident and assured you are under the care and treatment of a healthcare professional dedicated to making your life better. I cant speak highly enough of Dr. Howitt and his staff. They are good spirited and dont treat you like a piece of meat or a number. Id recommend Dr Howitt Eye care to anyone who is looking to see a compassionate and professional ophthalmologist. Dr Howitt and his team care and it shows. He doesnt just take care of me and my family, he also takes care of my parents and sister and has become one of our trusted healthcare advocates as it relates to our eyes.

I rarely write reviews however I havent always had the best experience with doctors, and my experience with Dr. Howitt and his staff was so good I wanted to share. I needed an urgent matter taken care of and was able to get in right away, and the initial arrival and intake was so personal that it really felt like this placed cared. Then Dr. Howitt came in and took his time, where as a lot of doctors these days feel like they have something else to do next. I highly recommend this office for their personal care as well as expertise!

Dr. Howitt and his staff are very professional, and it is always a positive experience when I have an appointment. Dr. Howitt was the only eye doctor who discovered there was something wrong with my eyes. If it was not for him taking the time to do more studies, I would have had vision problems as I aged. I am truly grateful to him as he was able to put me on a daily regimen of medication and save my eye sight! I would highly recommend Dr. Howitt to anyone who is in need of a caring and conscientious physician.

Its not often that you find a doctor that takes the time to address your concerns and answer all your questions in detail. I did not feel rushed. Dr. Howitt makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Howitt!
