Hello, my name is Dr Diane Howell and I was born and raised just south of Gainesville in Ocala, Florida. I made the short move to Gainesville to attend both college and medical school at the University of Florida. I then moved to North Carolina with my husband to complete my residency and chief resident year at UNC Chapel Hill. After living in North Carolina for a few more years, our family made our way back home along with our two children. I enjoy watching University of Florida Gator football, serving in my church and spending time with my family.
