About

From the beginning of medical school, I knew I wanted to perform procedures, including surgery. While not every patient will be a candidate for surgery - and not every condition warrants it - I enjoy being able to offer my patients procedural and surgical options.

My interest in pelvic anatomy, urology and women's healthcare naturally led me to the subspecialty of urogynecology. With fellowship training, I am able to focus my interests and skills specifically toward the unique conditions perta...

Dr Howden is excellent and listens to your concerns.

I had earlier cancelled an appointment that was for a procedure. During this appointment I could not tell if the provider remembered my original appointment. I did not do a good job of articulating some of my concerns and I did not feel that the provider was interested in discussion. On both of my visits I had problems with the long drive and traffic conditions. Therefor I arrived anxious and rattled. I now realize that this medical office is not a good fit for me for that reason alone.

Love my Doctor

Loved my first meeting with Dr. Howden who seemed genuinely concerned about my problem. Also loved that we had a conversation WITH MY CLOTHES ON! She explained everything in detail and answered my way-too-many questions and concerns. I felt that she could relate to my health problems and I respect her judgement and experience.

Dr. Howden was wonderful. She did a great job and helped me feel calmer at a difficult time. She's so knowledgeable and seems caring.
