I have a privilege to be a patient of Dr. Shawn Howell for more than 6 years. She is a world class cardio specialist. In my opinion, Dr. Howell is extremely well educated, efficient and an excellent example of what the medical doctor of XXI century should be. At the same time, Dr. Howell is a very good listener with a personal approach to every patient. She always has sincere interest in my health issues. Dr. Howell’s commitment to availability and accessibility deserves admiration. She replies, she answers e-mails, she returns phone calls. I know that her team is always ready to help.

“Dr. Howell is a fantastic interventional cardiologist, whom my patients absolutely trust and adore. Her clinical skills and knowledge are great and her bedside manner and personality have made my patients and staff feel very comfortable.

Most cardiologists know that heart disease in women has several different presentations; however, Dr. Howell has detected silent heart disease that was missed by other cardiologists in two of my women patients. I am grateful to her for saving their lives.

Dr. Howell embodies all the characteristics that make a cardiologist great: sharp intellectual and clinical skills, attentiveness, and compassion. I am thankful to have Dr. Howell as a colleague and referring physician. She truly is one of the best in the DC metropolitan area.”

“Over the past several years, I have undergone more than a few heart catheterizations due to coronary artery disease. Two years ago, I became a patient of Dr. Shawn Howell. During my initial visit with Dr. Howell, I found her to be efficient and informative. Dr. Howell conveyed a sincere interest in my well-being and provided me with the most current and up to date information as it pertained to my situation.

Equally important to me is Dr. Howell’s commitment to availability and accessibility. Dr. Howell returned calls promptly regardless of the day or time, made follow-up calls after any procedure, and has even contacted me in a timely manner, although she was out of town. I am confident that in her care, I am receiving the best medical care.”
