Druhan L. Howell, MD

"She is very dismissive and has no listening skills. She is rude and condescending. Was having obvious food allergies where my throat would close. She ignored me and I almost died. Got diagnosed by another doctor. Stay away from her. She is useless."

"I went to see Dr. Howell about chronic sinus infection, vertigo, and allergies. She was very condescending. She asked what medication I was taking, I told her Zyrtec and Flonase in the morning and Benedryl at night. After she left the room, her nurse came in with my paperwork and Dr. Howell's plan for treatment which was Zyrtec, Flonase, and Benedryl. OK, clown, if worked, I wouldn't be here!"

"Dr. Howell is very professional. She took lots of time to discuss my sons allergies. Her office was very helpful in arranging his shots for him at his college. Very grateful for them."

"Dr. Howell and her staff are completely unprofessional. My daughter has been seeing an allergist in Birmingham for six years and never had a problem. Once we moved to Mobile we have had multiple problems with doctors in this area due to my daughter’s special needs. I specifically requested that Dr. Howell add a test to the labs she was running since her GI previously ordered the test and she said no because it’s not an allergy it’s a GI problem to take it up with GI. When it’s actually an allergy-a food allergy at that. I also let her know that my daughter had a rash on the back of her knees for six months that we were treating with cream and it still wasn’t going away. She never looked at it. Then her nurse was rude when I made a complaint about how awful the lab team is. I would never take my child here if at all possible. Especially if you have a special needs child. They have no clue! It was a terrible experience! I don’t think we will be going back. I would rather drive to Birmingham than down the road to this office."

"Dr. Howell refused to listen to our concerns as parents and completely wrote us off. A year later we are still dealing with the same issues with my toddler. We tired to schedule an appt with a different doctor in the group and was blocked from seeing anyone else because of "office policy" and Dr. Howell refused to let us out from under her care ( we were told we are under her care for three years the moment we step into her office), even though she did nothing concerning my daughter's care and sent us out of her office with no assistance or "care" whatsoever. I will never be attending the Pulmonary Associates again."
