The Spring Hill office is centrally located, and very convenient. The receptionist was welcoming and warm, very efficient. The back office staff was waiting for me, and gave me an x-ray order before I even sat down. I went right downstairs, and was greeted by the pleasant and efficient radiology staff. My x-rays were quickly done, and I was sent back upstairs. Dr. Lawrence made me feel like he took time to listen, that he genuinely cared about me, gave me a thorough examination, and explained my x-rays. I highly recommend, and while I hope not to need them, I will definitely use them for any future orthopedic needs!

I have been diagnosed with several bone and joint related problems in my back that need surgery. I…read more previously had a lumbar laminectomy to help minimize pain. That surgery was performed by a surgeon in Las Vegas. That surgery was considered a minimally invasive surgery. However, it took me nearly 5 months to heal enough to return to work without significant pain. The bigger issue was that I had more issues post surgery than I did before. I developed numbness in both legs and down to my feet as well as having strong shocks down my legs. I was referred to Dr. Arthur Ulm to help me with this issue. He agreed I wad a candidate for surgery given the symptoms I was presenting. I had surgery 4 weeks ago, and feel like a million bucks! He did an amazing job! Not only do I have relief from the aches and pains of joint issues, but the shocks going down my legs to my feet are gone! I haven't had this much pain and discomfort relief in over 8 years. He knows what he's doing for sure. His staff was attentive and helpful to me and my wife. He was very communicative and prepared. I felt very comfortable gabbing this work done under his charge. I would recommend him for anyone asking about him. Very happy with the result!

I was seen by Dr Shirzadi on 1/10/24 and he referred me for an outpatient procedure to solve an extreme pain issue. I have tried to schedule the procedure but they do not have the referral requisition for the procedure. It's been two days now (1/12/24) and I have tried to resolve it with Dr Shirzadi's office and all they say is he hasn't signed the order yet. Even the staff at the outpatient procedure office tried to help by calling Dr shirzadi and they were told the same thing. Now I am going into the weekend with my symptoms worsening and I am going to have to wait. And no other treatment options were provided. 1/12/24 Update: just tried to call again to resolve the issue at 430 pm. Went straight to recording that said "the office is now closed. Normal business hours M-F till 5 pm" guess they decided to close early today. 1/17/24 update: it's been a week now and my order is still not faxed over so that I can get my procedure. I have called the office 4 times and still can't get this issue resolved. Office staff are unmotivated to assist and very short with me when I call to try to address the issue.

This was my first visit to Howell Clinic and honestly it started off as one of the most frustrating…read morecheck-in experiences I've ever had. I stood in line for 36 minutes just to check in. What makes it even more ridiculous is that I already completed the online check-in the day before. Yet when I finally got to the desk, I still had to hand over my driver's license and insurance card and verbally verify all the same information that was supposedly completed online. So what exactly is the point of online check-in if patients still have to redo everything at the front desk? Standing in a crowded waiting room line for over half an hour when you're not feeling well isn't a great first impression. The process feels extremely inefficient and defeats the entire purpose of offering online registration in the first place. Hopefully the medical care is better than the check-in process, but based on the first experience, the front-end system definitely needs some serious improvement.
