Robersteen W Howard's Online Review Report Card

She is awesome she been the Dr to my kids for 24 years

Dr. Howard stayed to take care of my very sick son when she was IN LABOR. He is grown now but she always cared for him helping me uncover the fact that he was nonlateral when he was 7 no hand preference and getting him in OT so he could be successful at life. The schoolsno one had seen that as his problem but she did It is very rare in children of that age who are otherwise ok. Once I saw her in Atlanta just checking on one of her very sick little patients there under a specialists care because she cared. She has the heart of a lion and the mind of a genius. I am so glad she was my sons doctor. He is grown now and fine.

My daughter was taken out of this network stating that she missed appt. Ive taken her to see Dr. Howard since birth11 years and she has only seen Dr. Howard once or twice. I do not think this was right. Never got appt reminder calls or letters. I do thank Ms. Ameila whom my daughter seen each time on every appt.

Run from this Dr. and the group she is with. At first I thought she and her group were good doctors. I almost lost my child because of them. She set into motion to have dfcs called on me and got very angry and vindictive. She had my child hospitalized which I didnt have a problem with after nothing was done for my child several days other than laying there I asked them to have my child transferred to a childrens hospital because they were not improving and she and the hospital got very angry and told me no and said they would not accept him as a transfer. I took my child out AMA and took them to a childrens hospital . When I arrived at the childrens hospital they told me they were out of their league in this matter and that my child most certainly would not have improved in their care and that yes they would have accepted him as a transfer. He was hospitalized immediately and given an IV he was dehydrated which the first hospital did not do. After that I still took my child back to her for visits at which time she called dfcs on me. I was investigated and completely cleared of all accounts and told it was a frivolous case by my case worker who is known as the toughest case worker. My child had other specialist doctors who spoke with dfcs concerning my child and his issue and told dfcs that this was a condition my child has. Dr. Howard and her co doctor would not even consult with this dr. who is the expert on the problembut became very vindictive and even lied about hospital records to me and once I told them that I recorded the doctors at the hospital and they told a different story they got even angrier telling me it did not matter. They are very unprofessional doctors. She also cost me money I dont have because she threatened dfcs on me if I didnt have my child put in the hospital every time I took them to her. Now the insurance says it wasnt necessary for the hospital stays which it wasnt because the specialist had it under control had they bothered to consult with them but what was I to do? Have dfcs take my child because of them and their vindictiveness? The specialist could not believe what was going on and the other doctors who we see now including a new pediatrician who saw the records from the hospital and their office could not either. Our family has suffered much from this doctor more than I can tell on here but as I said If you love you child run from these doctors and this place and anything associated with them. God have mercy on your child if you decide to cross them by doing what you think is in best interest of your child or ask for a second opinion. I have seen other reviews stating the same so it is not just me.

Dr. Howard herself is incredible. I would recommend her to any one. My complain is that she has accepted WAY too many patients. You can never see her. It used to only be difficult to see her for sick visits but now it is also impossible to see her for well visits. I hate seeing nurse practitioners every single time. This is my baby we are talking about she deserves to see the best. She is stretched too thin. Oh and in my opinion her nurse practitioners are the worst in the practice. I will be changing Dr.s soon. Too bad because we LOVE Dr. Howard. I just want to have good medical attention when needed. That has become impossible.
