Howard Richard J MD

For the past 32 years I've had a mole on my nose that I wasn't necessarily too fond of. It wasn't causing me any problems but regardless, I decided that I wanted to have it removed. This seemed like a relatively common procedure which could have been removed in a standard clinic but due to the location I chose to seek a specialist. At my initial consultation with Dr. Richard Howard he and his staff were informative, professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. Prior to the day of the procedure, I was contacted by office staff that Dr. Richard was unable to perform the operation but Dr. Thomas Howard was available. I was slightly nervous as I arrived that day but Dr. Thomas and staff did a wonderful job introducing themselves and even threw in quite a bit of humor to help set my mind at ease. Overall, the accommodating nature of all involved combined with the end result made the process enjoyable (if surgery can ever be considered enjoyable). I know my procedure may not be considered extensive in nature but still, I wanted to share my wonderful experience and recommend their services to anyone wanting assistance. 5 stars in my book!

My experience with Dr.Howard and my breast reduction surgery at Avera was much better than I had expected. Dr. Howard is an exceptional surgeon and the staff and hospital were so friendly and took such good care of me that it made my whole stay awesome. I would recommend Dr.Howard and the Avera staff to anyone who is thinking of having any kind of plastic surgery. I tell all my friends and anyone who will listen about him. He has made my life so much better, no back or neck pain, so if you are thinking of having this surgery done, so not hesitate, it is totally worth it.
