Really enjoyed meeting Dr Asfari-Howard and team. I didn’t feel rushed and had all my questions answered. Would definitely recommend this team to others.
Dr. Mary could not be more caring and thoughtful. And Laura did the best job of drawing my blood that I’ve EVER had! Didn’t even leave a mark! These are truly caring people.

Really enjoyed meeting Dr Asfari-Howard and team. I didn’t feel rushed and had all my questions answered. Would definitely recommend this team to others.
Dr. Mary could not be more caring and thoughtful. And Laura did the best job of drawing my blood that I’ve EVER had! Didn’t even leave a mark! These are truly caring people.
She was very caring and listened to me
Dr. Mary listens well and takes a modern approach to women’s healthcare including a holistic view of the whole person. She is also a skilled surgeon !
Great experience with Dr. Mary!
Was the best reproductive healthcare visit I’ve had as a queer person specifically discussing my individual needs! She made me feel super comfortable.
Thank you for seeing me today. I am so grateful to have found you! The conversation as unexpected, invigorating, uplifting, and liberating. Thank you for doing what you do and being the genuine person you are. I look forward to future visits and conversations!
Dr. Mary Howard and her team are excellent! Her mobile clinic is just as warm and inviting as her personality. She listens with intent to understand and makes me feel like a partner in my care. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside her in the hospital setting. She works extremely well under pressure, all the while ensuring her patients are safe and cared for. I would highly recommend her and her team for your OBGyn needs.
Best Dr. I've ever been to!!!
I loved how open and caring my appointment was. Just a great experience. Thank you so much for being there for me!
Comforting!
Wow! Dr. Mary and her medical asst Laura were a breath of fresh air. I felt well cared for both clinically and personally. Thank you
I had a great experience with Mary in the RV clinic! Not only do I appreciate how professional and personable she is, but also the mobile environment. The idea of moving services to where people with less access need them is absolutely BRILLIANT!
My interaction with Dr Mary and her staff have exceeded my expectations.I not only will continue to go to her but I will recommend her to all my friends.
I LOVE FEM-FORWARD!!!!
Hands down the BEST interaction I have even had with a Dr. And their staff. Beyond welcoming, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. I am so happy I made an appointment here and will continue to do so.
Dr Mary is AMAZING! Her mobile clinic is so welcoming and her staff is amazing. It was so nice to feel like there wasn’t a 20 minute time limit on your appointment to get to the next patient down the hall. Love being able to call and talk to someone that is in direct contact with her immediately, rather than sending messages and leaving voicemails that don’t get returned. I was a little nervous about my first appointment, but I am SO glad I went! I will definitely be back and will recommend her to anyone looking for a new gyno.
My experience with Dr. Mary and her team was exceptional. As a Healthcare provider myself I often hear how "doctors don't listen," that couldn't be further from the truth at Fem Forward. I was given ample time to tell my story during my appointment, and was met with compassion and understanding from the whole team. The environment was welcoming and disarming, I felt like I was talking with family. Dr. Mary heard my concerns and went above and beyond to explain her medical diagnosis and treatment recommendations in a way that helped me to feel educated, heard, and safe. Some people truly have a calling and Dr. Mary is right where she should be; serving women and families. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Fem Forward team!
Dr. Mary was absolutely wonderful. Meeting her for the first time I was extremely nervous especially being a mobile clinic but walking in there I was so relieved. Dr Mary and her staff (I'm sorry I forgot her name) they both were so nice and warming. Made my visit extremely comfortable. Definitely recommend going to see Dr Mary Afsari-Howard.
Safe place, friendly, professional.
Cannot recommended Dr. Howard enough. Best doctor I’ve ever had and her mobile clinic is inviting/comfortable. She is caring, personable and down to earth. She’s great at explaining things and educating in a way you can easily understand. Terra and Laura are wonderful and welcoming.
Love the cozy feeling of the mobile clinic. It was so easy to get an appointment. Everyone was very understanding and nice. The doctor made me feel very comfortable and heard.
So far the best experiences I have had after seeing an OB/GYN. Everyone was so welcome and made me feel at easy right away. I felt so comfortable talking to Dr. Mary and the other staff. I like the cozy setting and would recommend it to anyone who feels they haven’t been heard yet.
Very sweet and compassionate care. Will be returning.
She continues to be the most pleasant and personable doctor that I’ve ever had.
Dr. Howard is an incredible person. She is beyond words the very best gynecologist.
Excellent
