Dr. Robert Howard, MD

Knowledgeable, kind, positive

Did an excellent job of evaluating my eyes and eyesight. I would highly recommend him. I was especially impressed with the technician Rita Paunovich. She was very thorough and professional in my examination.

Dr. Howard and Rita took the most amazing care of me. The communication, in office experience, and post surgery care was beyond exceptional. I feel very lucky to have had them both through this experience. Not to mention, I can see! Highly recommend this office and their team to all.

I have PRK performed after my free consultation. I couldn’t be happier with the process or the results at this time. His technician, Rita, was great and answered any questions during the consultation and was easy to access prior to and after the procedure.

Although my experience with PRK was way more than expected as far as pain, healing process, and side effects (I have dry eyes now more than ever)... I do know that I have more complicated eyes than most and Dr. Howard and Rita took the best care of me. They were both attentive and patient with me and my long healing process and I know I wouldn't be this happy today with out their help. From compassion to expertise... they are 100% the best!

Best experience ever. The tech Rita Paunovich was the best. I worked as a Manager for 47 years in Healthcare. She has great communication skills. Other techs have never even introduced themselves or took time to explain the procedure to me. You can tell she loves her job and the clients/patients she serves. She definitely deserved to be recognized!

I finally convinced myself to get Laisks after a friend of mine recently got it done at St. Lukes. I made my appointment to see if I was qualified, Rita was my Technician. You will spend the most of your time with her, she did all the examines, explained to me how everything will be done step by step, answered all my questions, she was very warming and made me feel comfortable from the 1st visit to the most recent visit which was my 1 week post-lasik check up and I'm so happy to say I have 20/15 in my left eye and 20/20 in my right eye. Little dry eye and sensitive to bright eyes which was expected, but almost not noticeable and will get better over time. During the surgery, Dr. Howard was brilliant. Explained to me what was being done every step of the way, there was no pain and before you know it, it was over. Went home, slept the rest of the day and when you wake up, you will be able to see everything clearly without glasses!

Dr. Howard very caring and confident which made me able to relax.
