I have gone to the same office for more than 25 years and never had a problem, until Dr Howard joined. I don't question his knowledge but he has a disconnection from knowledge to skill. So after many years and a bad crown my family is moving on to a new dentist.
Dr Howard is honest and he truly cares about his patients. I was a patient of Dr Spencer for years and was concerned about changing Dentists when Dr Howard took over the practice. From my first visit I felt comfortable and confident that he could handle my dental issues. I was not disappointed. He not only met my expectations but continues to exceed them with every visit. I trust him completely and will continue to see him for all of my dental needs.
I am a writing this review after seeing Dr. Howard for the second time in less than a week. My backstory with finding Dr. Howard/South Vue Dentistry involved a toothache the week of Thanksgiving! I had not been to my dentist as regularly as I should have and my old dentist could not see me for 4 months. I called a few dentists and Dr. Howard's office saw me at the very end of the day! I was hesitant to try a new dentist but I needed help. I read his reviews and gave him a chance. He and that office were SO incredibly nice and welcoming! He and his assistant were so very compassionate and I was able to enjoy my trip to see family over the holiday--pain-free. I made a cleaning appointment as soon as I left that day! Thank you so so so much!!!

He took over when Spencer retired. Shows no care or compassion and seems to be money oriented. Everything in your mouth is a major problem to him. Dr. Spencer is sorely missed by many of his old patients. I think Howard is just too green yet.
I had been going to the same dentist for years, until he retired. It was a daunting task to try and find a new dentist, but thankfully I was pointed in the direction of Dr. Howard! Dr. Howard, and the entire South Vue staff, go above and beyond in terms of customer service and quality care, and clearly have created a patient-focused practice! While going to the dentist isn’t usually a walk in the park, this office is probably as close as you can get ;)
overall very good experience
It had been years since I saw a dentist. I had a terrible toothache and of course it happened on a weekend. I called Monday and was able to be seen and the same day! I could tell Dr. Howard was busy, but I never felt rushed or a lower priority, especially as a new patient. Thank you my tooth feels so much better!
I have been going to Dr. Spencer for many years, I had a terrible toothache over the weekend and Dr. Howard was so kind and willing to fit me into his busy schedule even though I had no appointment. I was so hesitant at first to try a new dentist, but I was totally impressed with this man. Very thoughtful, kind, gentle, he listened to my concerns and did a wonderful job! I now know when Dr. Spencer retires at some point, I will have a great dentist to continue to take care of me! Thank you!!
My family recently moved to the Pittsburgh area about 3 years ago. Finding new healthcare providers is always a stressful endeavor, but I have been so thrilled with Dr. Howard that I felt the need to go online and fill out this survey (which I never do). If anyone is ever considering finding a new dentist, trust me in saying you are in the best of care! He is very professional, very personable, funny and great with my children! Not to mention how happy I am with his skills. A+ Dentist!
I've been to several dentists in my life--its great to know I've met one that I will be sticking with until the end! Gentle, Kind, Polite and most importantly VERY SKILLED. Didn't feel a thing and will be recommending him to EVERYONE. Thank you again Dr. Howard!
