Testimonials for John Howlett, M.D.
View All
I had a very good experience with my doctor and staff. They are friendly and care about me. I got suggestions and my doubts were cleared when I asked questions. I am healed now. Thanks to Doctor Howlett and staff Sheryl. Mary, one of the cast techs, also took good care of me.
This is a long overdue “thank you” for my trigger finger release procedure almost a year ago. It was an amazing success, and I am able to play tennis and perform my court reporting duties pain-free! Hope you are doing well and enjoying your summer.

Dr. Howlett is very sweet and well mannered, I loved having him as my doctor. I’m very happy with the surgery he did, and my recovery is going amazing. I would 200% recommended ANYONE to go see him. I also want to thank all of the people here for being marvelous and very sweet. Scheduling was easy, the office was easy to get to, and I never had to wait. I have no complaints at all, everything was great. Thank you.
