“I have never seen a doctor that was so good and accurate. She explained everything to me in simple language and explained what I have to do to get better. She is one of the best doctors that I have ever dealt with. She was right on target, the right treatment and today I’m feeling 99 percent better. Thank you Dr Howson. It’s good to see a real doctor for a change.”

“Dr Howson could not have treated me any better. She put me at ease completely and I am so grateful to her and staff. Thank you.”

“I was most impressed with Dr. Julie Howson. She is intelligent, knows exactly how to solve the problem, proceeds in a reasonably quick manner, is friendly, and demonstrates her concern”

“She was amazing – sat beside my wife and did such a good, thorough job – asking questions, listening, and was so good at comforting her patient”

– Charles Yost

STOP just book and appointment with Dr. Howson. I really am impressed with her personalized approach. Outstanding.

We just moved to the area from Miami. I was so happy to find Dr. Julie – she’s an amazing doctor that immediately understood what I needed and had even given me more insight, guidance and treatment protocols.

Dr. Julie Howson is an incredible physician. She is highly knowledgeable, attentive, and takes the time to truly understand her patients on a personal level. Her ability to see the bigger picture when it comes to health and wellness is unmatched. I always leave her office feeling cared for and confident in her recommendations.

We just moved to the area from Miami and I wasn’t sure I could find a doctor that practices functional medicine in the area to continue my treatment. I was so happy to find Dr. Julie – she’s an amazing doctor that immediately understood what I needed and had even given me more insight, guidance and treatment protocols. I also love that she’s also a general practitioner, this combination makes for a more complete approach to medicine.

Finally Felt Seen, Heard, and Truly Cared For.
After years of being dismissed, told “everything looks fine” and just not feeling good, I had nearly given up on my health until I wad refrred to Dr. Howson.
She listens fully, never rushes, and leaves no stone unturned. She gets to the root of what’s going on and treats you like a whole person,not a chart, not a case.
Dr. Howson didn’t just restore my trust in healthcare she helped me take back control of my well-being. She’s the kind of doctor you hope for but rarely find.

Doctor Julie is the best! Can’t recommend her enough. 10 stars!
