Robert T. Howell, DVM, DC, DACBO

"You could say that I have an 'open-door policy' when it comes to working with patients. I encourage open conversation because I want to hear my patients' concerns and opinions. I make a point to never lecture, but discuss problems— then make suggestions for treatment that knowledge and experience have been shown to work successfully."

Serving the community
