About Me

Conditions I specialize in
  • Pediatrics

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.
