I met Shelby today and all I can sayShow more is….WOW!!! She listened to every word, was so understanding! Came up with best action plan for my situation. She was so authentic and genuine! Even the lab tech was SUPER SUPPORTIVE! Love love love MY Howard team!!! Have yet to see this level of care, I am totally spoiled there & I love it!
I absolutely love these women. My appointment yesterday I went into very nervous just because who wants someone looking down there you know? But immediately both of my Nurses that were seeing me were so sweet and funny. Them beingShow more funny made me feel so much more comfortable and I am so thankful for that. It is very hard to find nice, understanding nurses so I am very pleased that I am able to go to this place!
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 eight offices throughout Georgia, including Covington, Valdosta, Moultrie, Warner Robins, Albany/Leesburg, Douglas, Tifton, Lawrenceville, Athens and Waycross, 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.

Shelby was very informative and listened to all of my concerns to meet my needs.
Shelby is amazing! She is attentive and worked hard to answer every question. I was worried going into my appointment but left feeling calmer and more positive. She calmed all the bad nerves. She is super knowledgeable and you can see how caring she is. I am happy to have her on my health team!

The customer service is always fast and friendly!
Ms Colson explained what would be happening in the appointment, gave me ample time for my concerns and questions and answered all of them. She addressed my concerns and was compassionate. Thankful for a provider who listened and took me seriously.
She was so nice and very professional !
She was very friendly, gentle and made me feel very comfortable. Great experience.
Everyone was very attentive and nice. Wait time was about 20 minutes, which was great. People who work there actually act like they enjoy their jobs.
Shelby was fantastic during my visit. She was kind, patient, and listened to any concern I had. I had my IUD removed and got a little dizzy because of it, and she made sure to get me juice and ensure I was going to be okay. I didn't feel rushed one bit. The woman who did the intake, the ultrasound tech, and the front desk receptionist were all exceptional as well. I would recommend this office to everyone!
Mrs Colson was very thorough with me.. She listened to all my concerns and made me feel comfortable. The office is well organized and friendly.
Most comfortable I’ve ever been at a check up appointment

I have been a patient of the Howard Center for many years and never had a bad experience. The staff are always professional, caring and willing to help.
All the staff were so professional and friendly, even after the lights went out! I felt very informed and empowered by the information I received, and I felt heard as a woman and a person.

Everyone was nice
I love going to the Howard Center everyone is nice and pleasant with smiles on their faces it’s a joy every time. They really show concern and they are patient with me
I’m very grateful for the team at the Howard Center. Everyone is nice and helpful regardless if they are actually the ones assigned to me for that visit. I absolutely trust and adore Savannah. She’s calm, understanding, and listens. This will be my last pregnancy since I have signed the paper work to be “fixed”, and I am really gonna miss her.
I love the Howard Center. I drive all the way from Valdosta to come to the Tifton office. I had a rough experience at another off and the Ladies at the Howard Center have put me at ease the whole time. This is our first pregnancy and its been a great experience. This last appointment, Savannah had me cracking up.
Everyone was nice and I would definitely recommend going to The Howard Center!
