Orion M Howard, MD

Dr. Howard has been wonderful while I navigated my breast cancer diagnosis and in all of my follow-up appointments. This most recent visit included some concerns about my recent blood tests, and Dr. Howard made sure I got appointments for the two tests he felt I needed as a result of those blood tests in a very timely manner. I can't say enough positive things about him.

Dr Howard has been incredibly Wonderful throughout all the time I've been in his care. Dr Cote's input ( which I was supposed to be benefitting from) has been lacking.

He's the best!

Extremely thorough, compassionate, bright

I have been in care here with Dr. Howard and the whole group since June of 2022. Not once have I felt neglected, misunderstood, disrespected or ignored. Quite the opposite. I can't imagine how it must be to receive inadequate attention during such a complicated time. I feel very lucky to be a patient here. I believe the quality of the care, both knowledge of my cancer and the team's interface with me have contributed greatly to my ongoing well being. I further believe that Dr. Howard's knowledge and presence help set that tone throughout.

Dr. Howard is just the right balance of personable and professional. I totally trust his medical advice.

Dr. Howard was recommended to me by one of his patients who is now cancer free.

Excellent interaction

I want to just say that Dr. Howard and both my husband and I go to him, we could not have a better physician. He's always courteous, kind, he's up to date on things, he listens, he's wonderful. The whole office is nice. We've had nothing but good to say about from the receptionist to the ones that we speak to at the end and make an appointment. It's a super place if you have to go.

My experience with Dr. Howard was fantastic.

Good

Dr. Howard is simply the best doctor ever. Warm, thorough, attentive. I never feel rushed and I trust his judgement implicitly. We are so fortunate to have this caliber of a cancer specialist in Western Massachusetts.

Dr Howard is the best, especially because I have a lymphoma.

professional

All the Staff that we encountered were very good and helpful...

Ryan Howard is one of the finest physicians I have ever had the experience and privilege of dealing with. He's terrific, absolutely.

Very informative.

Saw Dr. Howard with my mother for her new dx breast cancer. He explained everything in detail very well. He was kind, very understanding and thorough. He definately put both mother and myself at ease regarding her cancer journey. We felt heard, respected, and cared for. An amazing experiance with this provider

Dr. Howard is wonderful. Navigating a cancer diagnosis is terrifying, but my experience was made so much better because of his kindness, thorough knowledge, and the clear and caring way he answered all of my questions (and there were many). I'm am so thankful to have had Dr. Howard as my oncologist.

Dr. Howard is wonderful helping get rid of fears!

Dr. Howard is an exceptional caregiver. He spent time with me and clarified all the info from my recent hospital stay. He also arranged for me to get a shot of lomax prior to my biopsy for which Radiology was grateful. He also arranged for his nurse to give me the shot following my appointment with him rather than sit waiting for other staff to be available.

I like Doctor Howard

Always a satisfying visi

I'm impressed by the prompt attention given

Everything good.

He took a lot of time with me and answered all my questions. I liked him and I'm glad he is going to be my oncologist.

Competent and caring

I am very fortunate to see Dr Howard; his calm demeanor is reassuring relative to my high level of anxiety. He seems very knowledgeable and explains things very well.

the best

I would have asked for this, everything is just excellent. I have no, I have no problems whatsoever. Dr. Howard's a great doctor, thank you.

Very positive experienc

I am very satisfied with my care.

Dr. Howard was awesome in his explanations and manner. He was unhurried and kind. He allowed my son in Indiana to listen in and he answered his questions. Thank you.

Dr. Howard listens to what I have to say, is attentive to my needs, efficient in setting up appointments and schedules, and generally supportive. Speaking with him is a lot like speaking with a friend.

The woman who came in to do my blood pressure, I don't know if she was a nurse or what she was, but she put the blood pressure band on me and it hurt. It was way too tight and I wanted her to take it off. And all she said is, you have to stop talking and it will start. I didn't have good rapport with her and I shouldn't have to be in pain at all.

(by seeing a nurse, I assume you meant the person performing the BP, etc. task) Dr. Howard totally informed my wife and I about the condition I have, and all treatment aspects. He could not have been more understandable. He is top notch, and we feel truly blessed to be under his care.

Answers questions I can't put words to, replies clearly with a generous spirit. Is tremendously knowledgeable and cheerful. Also gentle. I tell everyone I know who has cancer to get their care here.

Dr. Howard is very kind and listens well. He is very reassuring, which is important for an oncologist.

Everything was great. I wish you would let me opt out of feedback unless I want to give it. I don't appreciate the robocalls and relentless emails about every visit. I just want to go to my appointments and rest in between. Instead you're robocalls interrupt my work because I think a human being is contacting me with urgent information.

Pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable

He gave me a thorough description of what future therapies and treatment regimens might be used. Also he reviewed testing that didn't need to be done and provided me with an early follow up appointments.

Dr Orion is very helpful and carefully looked at my previous test and my present test. He explained everything to me.

Knowledge and respectful

Excellent...

Dr. Orion Howard is always professional, always caring and concerned, and always truthful. And just, I just love him. He's a wonderful, wonderful doctor. I'd be very sad if he wasn't my doctor anymore. So keep him. I love him.
