Specialized Expertise. Decades of Compassion.

With over 44 years of clinical and surgical experience, Dr. Paul Edmund Howard offers a level of expertise rarely found in a single practice. Since beginning his medical journey in 1982, Dr. Howard has dedicated his career to mastering the complexities of the head, neck, and nervous system.

Specializing in Otolaryngology

What sets Dr. Howard’s practice in Leesville apart is his profound background in Otolaryngology (ENT). This specialty focus allows him to approach complex conditions—where the sensory systems—with a unique depth of knowledge and surgical precision.

Whether he is treating a routine sinus issue or performing advanced head and neck surgery, Dr. Howard views every case through a specialized lens that prioritizes both long-term health and patient quality of life.

Patient-Centered Care for the Leesville Community

While his surgical background is extensive, Dr. Howard’s philosophy is rooted in a simple principle: The patient comes first. He believes that expert care should be matched by clear communication and a compassionate bedside manner.
