Poor work quality, lack of professionalism, arrogant and condescending attitude. Avoid her.

I have been a client of Dr. Howatt's for over 15 years. The reasons why I have remained her client for so long are the very same reasons that I have referred so many of my friends to her.
Dr. Howatt is a highly skilled and highly professional dentist. She is gentle and thorough. I have remained her client for so long due to her high standards, exemplary care and professional demeanor. She has always spoken to me in a manner that is patient, sensitive and easy to understand. She is very knowledgeable, but never hesitates to consult another colleague whenever she feels that a second opinion would be in my best interest. Her demeanor while working is calm and reassuring.
I am most happy with the outstanding work that Dr. Howatt has done for me over the past 15 years.
About Hygienist: I am also very satisified with the staff at Madison Dental, particularly my hygienist, Susan.

Horrible!!! I'll never go back to her! She is arrogant, rude and does not fulfill her promises. Because of her I ended up with a much shorter tooth and she refused to do anything about it. She never answered my questions about the procedure and had an attitude throughout our interaction. It was a huge mistake to see her -- I wish I'd never gone to her office.

Almost every element of the experience with Dr. Howatt was hugely disappointing. The service was mediocre at best: the crown she fixed broke in half in less than two months. But worst of all is the fact that Dr. Howatt has major attitude. I had to remind her that I was a patient, a paying client and I disliked the treatment I received. Her reply on this was to direct me to follow her, so her secretary could make a new appointment for me. Eventually she redid the crown, without properly explaining to me how the new one would look. Every time I'd ask a question, she'd give me a raised eyebrow look. Eventually, the new crown came out looking very different -- a different shade and shorter than the rest of my teeth. She had me look in the mirror before adjusting the height of the new crown and it looked fine. However when she cemented the crown, she pushed it up and it became shorter.
I am very unhappy with the result: $1,400, plenty of aggravation and hours of discomfort later, I'm left with a discolored shorter front tooth. "The advanced dentistry you expect" and "Care and attention you deserve" on her card seem like a bitter joke. But I'd rather stay like this, than see this woman ever again, let alone, have her touch my face.

I was not impressed at all with the Doctor. With Dr. Howatt there was always the feeling of stress. The quality of her work was not good, as a result I had to seek a different dentist.
