He is an excellent Dr. He is very thorough. He takes his time with his patients. He is very detailed. Dr. Hougeir is very clear in explaining the instructions to the patient. He takes his time to explain the problem, what it means, what will happen, what needs to be done, if there is a cure. He has excellent follow up skills. He goes above and beyond. He treats his patient as he would want his own family to be treated . I have flown my mother in from California and to be seen by him. He was able to diagnose by illness when many other doctors could not in.
