Biography

“I believe that medicine is my calling. It is my sincere pleasure to help patients in the pursuit of restoring or maximizing function as well as minimizing the risk of injury and illness.”

Dr. Howard is board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation with a certificate of added qualification in sports medicine.

He received the Red Sash Award for outstanding faculty and the Teaching Excellence Award from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).
