I saw Dr. Howlett about 6 months ago. I was having numbness in both hands every morning and pain at the base of if my thumb. After Xrays and exam, he told me to just put aspercream on my pain, but he was sure I had carpal tunnel and needed to have an EMG done to confirm the severity so insurance would pay for surgery. He ordered wrist braces for me to wear at night to help with the numbness. I wear them nightly and the numbers went away. Yet when the EMG confirm carpal tunnel syndrome, he was pushing to do surgery for both hands. He told me that I could have surgery on Thursday and be back to work on Monday. I questioned that because I type all day at work. He convinced me that it would be a quick recovery. I scheduled the surgery, but later canceled after asking friends who had the surgery and doing research. Basically, most people are of work 6-8 weeks. I don't trust a doctor who is not giving me truthful information. I have since gone to an amazing hand specialist in a different office 2 blocks away. Who is treating me for my severe arthritis at the base of my thumb. I wear a recommended brace at work and got an infection to see if that will alleviate pain. If the infections help enough, I may avoid surgery, but this other doctor told me all my mornings in great detail including how long I'd be off work if I do have surgery and how long I would be doing physical therapy. In my opinion, Dr. Howlette is too eager to make money from doing surgery and not caring about the impact to the patient.

Dr. Howlett is kind and caring as well as possessing the perfect amount of professionalism. I went to see him after I fractured my elbow. I was in a lot of pain and concerned about whether or not I might need surgery. He showed me the x-rays and explained how my recovery would likely proceed and not require surgery. He also explained that if things did not heal properly, I could need surgery. He gave me clear instructions on how to care for my elbow and gave me some options on whether or not to wear a splint or brace. I opted to keep my elbow moving as much as I could tolerate. It hurt quite a bit for 4 or 5 weeks. Now it seems I have fully recovered and I am back to doing most of the things I was doing before my injury. I highly recommend Dr. Howlett if you have an upper extremity injury. He will give you excellent care!

I tore a ligament (bad) in my wrist requiring a modified brunelli procedure. Dr. Howlett is incredibly compassionate, honest, professional, and kind throughout the entire process. I could tell he was invested in my recovery and future. I'm now a year out from the surgery and besides the scar, I forget I even had the surgery most days.

I recently suffered a bad wrist fracture at work requiring surgery. Dr. Howlett and the surgical team were very professional both prior to, and after my surgery. I had a consultation with Dr. Howlett and his assistant Zach before my surgery which put my mind at ease as I was very apprehensive about my prospects for a full recovery due to the compound damage to my wrist. People like Dr. Howlett are miracle-workers in my view who have the knowledge to help our bodies heal right. Paul Buchignan

As I nursed my broken elbow I told my friend I needed a Dr. who was extremely kind, empathetic, and optimistic. In walked Doctor Howlett with a big smile and a realistic, but encouraging diagnosis and treatment plan. My many questions were answered with respect and I always felt heard and understood. Dr. Howlett and the staff at Proliance were refreshingly friendly, efficient and helpful. Their smiles and kindness make such a difference. My longest office waiting time was 5 minutes!
