I've been seeing Miss Howard for the past few years now, she has been absolutely wonderful to work with. By far the most kind and caring provider that I have ever had! Not only is she extremely intelligent and well informed when it comes to treatment options, but it feels like she has a genuine interest in improving the lives of her patients.

Shawn really listened to me and made me feel understood. She never once made me feel silly or dismissed. I appreciate her authenticity and humor. I was very nervous at first, but she quickly put me at ease.

I had a great experience with this provider. She truly listened and took my concerns seriously, even when others dismissed them due to gender bias around ADHD. With her help and referrals to local care, I got proper testing, was diagnosed with severe ADHD, and started effective treatment. I’m already seeing meaningful improvements and am very grateful for her support and advocacy. Highly recommend.
