Dr.John Howard was a forward thinking Doctor and always had the best interest of our son in mind. He offered a experiment option to us before resorting to basic surgery. It only worked for about 1 and 1/2 years but we appreciated being given the option. Our son has since had reconstruction surgery on his stomach and duodenum. He is not doing well since the surgery and since Dr. Howard has retired we are now being followed by Dr. Pi at MacMaster hospital in Hamilton. Wish Dr. Howard was still around as we try to make the right decisions as we respect his input. Sadly missed. Weaver Family

Every day I look at our little girl and know that if not for him ordering tests that I felt strongly about our daughter would not be here today. He did the job of 3 doctors, gone less than a month and we have already ended up in the ER because we had no where else to turn, If he was still there it would have been looked after. I miss him already and hope he continues to practice or teach in some way so that others can learn from him. Those that have complained about him being rude etc. Keep in mind that your child is not the only one in pain and his back caused him great grief. Dr. Howard we miss you~

I have been seeing Dr. Howard for roughly 20 years now. I have alot of problems with my stomach and he's always taken the time for me, knowing that I come from far away. He is the most caring, passionate doctor I've met! I am sad to see him retire and I do wish there were more doctors like him.

After 13 years of being in the care of Dr. Howard I had my last appointment today. I went from being a sick 14 year old diagnosed with Crohn's to now 27 and feeling better than ever. I have trusted Dr. Howard completely and was sad to say goodbye. Enjoy your retirement Dr. Howard. You have helped change my life completely.

Have been with Dr. Howard for 15 years and he has always treated me well. He runs late at times but I know from experience that he is making sure his patients are being well cared for. When I came into clinic seriously ill he confirmed my ulcerative colitis that day and started treatment causing him to run behind. We collaborate on treatment plans rather than it being one-sided.
