Kala is always personable and easy to talk to. She puts you at ease and does not make you uncomfortable. She is not one to jump the gun on major life changing operations. She seeks other avenues first.
Kala, very sweet young lady. I would love to see her in the near future as well she took time and answer questions she make me feel very comfortable with her.
Here at The Howard Center, women’s health is very important to us. In the late 90s, the Howard’s — Dr. Drew and Dr. Kaylar — were on a mission to create an all-new women’s health center tailored specifically to helping women. Both physicians firmly believed that they could not only take care of women’s needs, but make them feel special while they did so. With this idea in mind, The Howard Center came to be!
Today, our Howard Center offices offer comprehensive gynecology services for females from the age of adolescence to post-menopause. With twelve offices throughout Georgia, including Covington, Valdosta, Moultrie, Warner Robins, Albany/Leesburg, Douglas, Lawrenceville, Athens, Waycross, Decatur, Tifton, and McDonough, we make it easy for women to access high-quality diagnostics, treatments, and preventive care.
Our gynecology team has extensive experience in identifying and treating a variety of gynecological conditions, including heavy periods, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We also offer a variety of birth control options, such as the Liletta® intrauterine device (IUD), to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Preventive care services like well-woman annual exams with Pap smears are available to reduce risk factors for chronic diseases, including cancer. Our experienced providers also specialize in menopause management services and hormone replacement therapy to help women through the transition to their post-menopausal years.
Women can also receive treatment for urinary incontinence, including innovative procedures like tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) surgery.
The Howard Center’s surgery center features the latest technologies in minimally invasive surgery. Our team performs in-office procedures like NovaSure® endometrial ablation and operative laparoscopy surgery to treat gynecologic issues without causing unnecessary trauma to the body.
We are thrilled to introduce their latest addition – The Glammo Mammo Suite at the Howard Breast Imaging Center. Step into a world of luxury and care as you experience our state-of-the-art facility covered in bling and diamonds. The Howard Center is proud to provide an environment where our patients feel like royalty while having their mammograms performed! With The Glammo Mammo Suite being located at The Howard Center in Tifton, it gives our patients the convenience of having their annual exam and mammogram done on the same day, all under one roof! Because, at The Howard Center, we believe in making your healthcare experience as seamless and stress-free as possible!

Kara and her team at the Decatur Howard Center are incredible! From the moment you walk in, everyone is super friendly and makes you feel like you’re walking in the doors of a friend’s house. The doctors and staff really take their time, explaining everything and making sure you understand all your options. You can tell they genuinely care. I couldn’t recommend Kara, her team, and this location enough!
Wonderful
Coming into the office I was impressed with the decor, the waiting room is very cozy and accommodating. They also offer refreshments. I was greeted with a smile and promptly checked in. Every step of the appointment was professional and everything was explained thoroughly. I really liked that I was able to ask questions and get clear feedback on what was best for me. It’s important to feel heard by your doctors/nurses/care technicians and this first visit was an indication that I am in great hands.
It was truly an amazing experience! The staff was nice, the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming, and the procedure was painless!
