Dr. Laura Howell comes to TriHealth after serving 15 years as a staff physician at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in the emergency and urgent care departments. She views pediatrics as a unique opportunity to address physical and mental health concerns early, potentially changing the trajectory of a patient’s life. Recognizing that parents entrust her with their most precious treasures, she values being part of a team to help them grow into strong, healthy adults.

Dr. Howell sees children from newborn through college for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illness. She uses a collaborative approach to understand concerns and challenges before implementing an evidence-based strategy to set her patients up for health and wellness. She encourages everyone to develop a growth mindset, believing that building skills with determination leads to resilience.

Dr. Howell and her husband, a pediatric endocrinologist, have a son. She volunteers at her son’s school and her church. Passionate about the arts, Dr. Howell plays both violin and piano, performing regularly at her church. She also enjoys reading, hiking and photography.
