Dr. Ho has impressed me immensely with her level of care. I was searching for a primary care doctor I liked, and I tried out a few before I found her. I knew she was an excellent physician during my first appointment with her when I was having problems with a swollen toe. She actually walked to the orthopedic department and found someone to come take a glance at it during our appointment. I was so impressed by her level of care and willingness to go above and beyond. Whenever I meet with her I can tell she is attentive and great at looking for solutions. She is compassionate and kind and incredibly knowledgeable. She takes the time to educate her patients as well. She exceeds as a physician and caregiver.

Dr. Ho was amazing. she took the time to answer my questions and helped guide my decision in which IUD to use. she was very empathetic in understanding that this is a painful procedure and she skillfully managed talking me through it, while also letting my have my own way to manage the pain (it was helpful to have my husband talk to me while it was getting done, so she only gave me major updates of what she was doing and not every single step, which I was grateful for). she was very encouraging to me with every step of the procedure and I felt safe and like I could trust her care. I was really worried and nervous about this procedure, but having a compassionate and competent provider in Dr. Ho really eased my tension.

I really appreciate speaking with Dr. Ho. I always feel heard. She pays attention to my points of concern. I tend to jump around a bit and she can follow along just fine. She seems attuned to my level of medical understanding and is able to explain things in a way I can grasp. I also appreciate that she is willing to take action and give advice for whatever health problem I bring up. I don't have to spend energy trying to convince her to take me seriously. She's very smart and a very good communicator.

I truly liked meeting with Dr. Ho. My wife continues to struggle understanding what Suboxone really is and is wanting me to get off it immediately, and dr. Ho tried her best to help explain this type of treatment to [NAME REMOVED] and related it to somebody with diabetes who takes insulin each day.
