L. Michael Howell

"November 16, 2002 Wow, can't believe I didn't update this more. Dr. Howell is great. He's very professional, you can tell he really cares about what he does. He has never lost a patient and has been doing this for something like 25 years. If you are going to have this done, get him. It's the best decision you could ever make. March 2, 2002 I met with Dr. Howell yesterday for my offical surgical consult. He was very nice. He answered 2 1/2 pages of questions that I had and added other pertinent information. He explained everything I needed to know. I am very happy and feel very confident having him operate on me. His office staff was great. The first person I spoke with was Kari, a nurse. I guess she's fairly new (5 months) but she knew her stuff and was a real sweetheart. The Physician's Assistant is Cindy. She was okay. Not warm and cozy but very matter of fact. She answered a lot of questions and did the actual exam. She will assist him in the operating room. Overall I would give Dr. Howell an A+, the nurse and A+, and the PA an A. January 30, 2002 I had the privelege of meeting Dr. howell at a Gastric Bypass meeting on January 30th. He is GREAT. Answered a TON of question from everyone who was there, spoke for almost two hours. His staff is very nice and one person has even had WLS in her past, back in 1985 and looks great. Very professional. He has been doing this surgery for 25 years and has never lost a patient."

"The nurses were great. One aide was a pain. Rambling on about how tired she was. Guess what? I didn't care. Hello? She also seemed put out helping me shower. The first aide who gave me a shower was a great deal of help. This second one was young and I was NOT at all impressed with her. "
