What our patients are saying...

The office was calming, light and airy so my first impression was good. I waited a bit but the receptionist gave me updates and apologized for the delay. Once I saw Dr. How, he spent all the time we needed to identify my problem and figure out what treatment if any would be needed. I felt “seen”, heard and understood. Dr. How suggested a follow up and I appreciated that so I didn’t have to figure out on my own if I’m ready to resume my exercise routine!

Bradford M

Dr How and his staff were accommodating and caring throughout the process, both before and during my SGB procedure. I definitely had some nerves arise leading up to the procedure and Dr How went out of his way to walk me through things which helped take the edge off. The procedure itself was much more smooth, relaxed and easy than I was expecting. Overall, the communication, care and professionalism I experienced from Dr How and his team was top notch. And I definitely noticed improvement after the procedure which is another step forward in my trauma recovery. Super thankful.

There are not enough wonderful words to describe Dr. How and his team! I have never met a doctor who listens....REALLY listens to each and every one of your concerns in order to start developing a proactive and effective plan of action. I have SO much respect for the fact that Dr. How decided to build this practice after spending so many years as an ER physician. It is clear from the moment you meet him and his team that you are in a place that genuinely wants to see people be healthy and thrive. Dr. How and his team are the real deal, and I couldn't be more grateful to have found them! Thank you for all you do, How Clinic!:).

Allison K

Nothing short of amazing. They have so much to offer and Doc How is super cool and incredibly knowledgeable in this field. I’ve been treated for this stuff for years by multiple different docs in multiple states and this is hands down one of the best facilities I’ve ever been to. Any issues you have, they have a solution and remedy for. Get you back to feeling like you. I’m a 17 year prior military and security contractor and my body has been through the ringer. Dr. How and his team have gotten me fixed up in more ways than one. From hormones to stress levels to Nad+ therapy all the way to nervous system treatment. Can’t recommend enough!

Aaron T

Dr. How compassionately listened to all my issues. He is very educated. I have never felt so secure in a physician helping me. I have suffered daily with awful pain & after one treatment with him, my life is changing all for the better in terms of greatly diminished pain and a hopeful attitude where I had none.

Dr How is amazing! His knowledge of anatomy and his skills with the ultrasound are top notch. He spent a lot of time asking me about my sports injuries and how they were impacting my life. Then he really customized the treatment for what I needed. He walked me through everything he was doing so I felt totally at ease. The treatments have really helped. I will definitely be going to him again for further treatment.

I had a great experience with Dr. How and his team. Dr. How explained the procedure, risks, and potential rewards in detail prior to starting, making sure I was fully informed and comfortable with proceeding. The actual procedure was smooth and quick. Dr. How and his staff are friendly and compassionate. He gave me confidence and put me at ease during the procedure, and even personally followed up with me afterwards. I would highly recommend Dr. How if you're considering a Stellate Ganglion Block.

Super professional, attentive, and kind. The facility is state-of-the-art (ultrasound screens on every wall - not that you have to watch!). And Dr How communicates the calm of a skilled practitioner who's definitely 'been there, done that' - many times, and then some!

Seen on same day for a chronic condition. Best of care and very friendly staff. Dr. How was very proficient and offered several treatment options. Overall, a very positive experience!

Lance C

Dr. How changed my life. That's not an exaggeration. Prior to seeing Dr. How for the first time, I was in so much pain I could barely walk. I have torn tendons in my gluteus, bursitis as well as something (I don't know what) going on with my sciatica. I couldn't participate in the activities that I enjoy, like pickleball, without being in excruciating pain during and after. I was taking 4 Advil and 3 Tylenol every 5 or so hours a day for 3 weeks and constantly icing my body. I had seen 4 orthopedic surgeons and 3 chiropractors all of whom told me there was nothing that could be done, except steroid injects

Laila K

Dr. How and his staff are always extremely caring, considerate, and kind. The facility is always very clean and we never have to wait more than a couple minutes to be seen. 5/5!
