Like many guys my age, I'm not a huge fan of physicals, but Dr. Howard has a very calm and comforting voice and demeanor. I should add that the building is (or was) also used as a methadone clinic, and the clientele in the waiting area may be a little unexpected. But once you're taken to the back, it's a completely different feel. Warmly recommended!

Pros: Professional, compassionate and intelligent doctor, doctor communicates well…read morecons: Staff sometimes acts less than professional I went looking for a primary care doctor having just moved to baltimore in the past couple months, and I found Doctor howard. I had my first appointment with him on May 5, and I've been happy with him since then. he always listens to what I tell him, and he answers my questions completely and truthfully. He takes his time with the patient, which is really saying something in this day and age of "express service" in the medical community. he really seems to care about the well being of his patients. finally, Doctor Howard is a huge fan of people participating in their own healthcare. he will not get irritated if you do research on a condition and ask questions, seek second opinions, and otherwise choose to actively participate in your care. In fact, he will compliment you for doing it. The staff is mostly helpful as well. I don't like having blood drawn, just as an example, and the technition who drew from me on two different ocasions actually remembered that detail and described what he was going to do as he was working. The only place I will fault the staff, and it cost the place a star, is that they don't do very well with telephone calls. My first call someone answered, said "Doctor Howard's office, hold please" and slammed the phone without waiting for a response. That almost caused me to go to a different doctor, and it would have been too bad because I ended up really liking Doctor Howard. I've had similar experiences when calling, but never in person. The patient portal web site is a nice touch. From there, it is possible to pull up exam and lab results, make payments, and even send messages to the doctor. I should note here that the doctor will sometimes personally communicate with you using this tool. When he does, you're actually talking to *him*; he does not fob it off on a nurse or assistant. In summary, I highly recommend doctor Howard and his practice. Don't let the sometimes questionable behavior by the staff on the telephone run you off. They'll treat you well in person, and doctor howard himself is never anything but kind and professional.

Dr. Mark helped to get me…read moreout of pain before and after surgery and was much more kind and understanding than about the pain I was in than my surgeon was (surgeon was a master surgeon, but not great on the bedside manner). Fast forward a decade and I have had constant lower back issues. Both Dr. Mark and Dr. Kellmeyer have been fantastic about trying to get me out of pain. They listen and offer solutions beyond just giving you narcotics. My experiences have been the opposite of the bad reviews given. In fact, I find Dr. Kellmeyer to be one of the best medical professionals I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. The office staff is very professional, calls often whenever they need something, and I see them being very helpful and accommodating to those who have mobility issues, especially the older patients. I could understand if the bad reviews were 2 stars or 3 because there was a misunderstanding, but a scorched earth approach when I've seen nothing but a very hard working staff who goes to bat for their patients when the insurance companies give them crap isn't very helpful in giving people searching for a doctor good information.

I've been a patient at Comprehensive Pain Center on and off since 2016 - but no longer, following a…read moredistressing experience with nurse practitioner, Gabrielle Kallmeyer. Ms. Kallmeyer repeatedly cut me off mid-sentence. She yelled at me to, "leave the practice," while physically and aggressively following me - when I asked the medical assistants to ask the practice owner, Dr. Mark Matsunaga to call me. I last received prescriptions from CPC in May 2020. I did not feel I needed pain management and opted to stop taking the medications CPC prescribed. I'd done this previously. During an Oct. 3, 2021, ER visit for a painful infection, I was prescribed tramadol - 10 pills, with no refills. In April, I was prescribed narcotics following minor surgery. Today Ms. Kallmeyer accused me of "doctor shopping" because I was prescribed very limited amounts of narcotics in those two specific situations. I had not been seen at CPC since May 2020 for pain management. I did not think I needed to ask CPC for permission to fill these prescriptions because I was not under CPC's care at the time. Ms. Kallmeyer told me that because I hadn't formally withdrawn from CPC's care that I violated a contract I signed in 2016. She said I was required to inform CPC - which I hadn't seen in 11 and 17 months, respectively - that the ER doctor and surgeon had prescribed me narcotics. I questioned Ms. Kallmeyer because my prior experience with Dr. Matsunaga and a previous nurse practitioner never involved them accusing me of knowingly violating their rules. I asked what happens if you have an ER visit or surgery on a weekend. Ms. Kallmeyer claimed that all CPC calls are returned 24 hours/day. When I told her that calls are not always returned - which I know from personal experience, she became agitated and defensive, telling me how hard the CPC staff works. I responded that both things can be true: staff can be hard working, & calls are not always returned. I know because I had to call twice in order to make an appointment. I left a message that was never returned and had to call back and press other options to reach a live person. I am a former award-winning health and medical journalist. I am glad that pain management practices exist and am sad to see a provider who treated me so terribly be in a position where she can quite literally cause harm to other patients, both in their physical conditions and their mental states. Providers, especially those who treat people in pain, should want to help, and not hurt, them. No patient deserves to be disrespected. It was inappropriate, mean, rude, and unnecessary. She also disclosed that my prior CPC nurse practitioner was "let go" for not following the practice's guidelines. She was essentially saying - with no apology - that even though my prior experience with the practice was different than her description of the rules, it didn't matter because my prior CPC nurse was fired for not following their guidelines. If there is truth to what happened to my prior nurse practitioner, then Ms. Kallmeyer disclosed personnel information about an employee to a patient - which is petty, small, and possibly illegal. My prior nurse practitioner was thorough, direct, and had a great bedside manner. Ms. Kallmeyer does not possess any of those qualities. Additionally, when I was seen in spring 2020 by Dr. Matsunaga, he did not bring up this issue, despite the fact I'd had a major orthopedic surgery in the previous year that required a prescription for narcotics to ease pain during recovery. I will not go back to CPC, and I am considering writing a freelance article about this. Too often, patients - especially Black and other minority patients - are talked down to, talked over, and disrespected by medical providers who have not learned that ALL patients deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I am quite medically knowledgeable, and Ms. Kallmeyer cut me off every time I attempted to ask questions. To be clear: As a patient, my concerns matter. Dr. Matsunaga is wonderful, but Ms. Kallmeyer should be fired.
