Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Rheumatologist
I’ve come to his office for 10 years now. He works with me to get my perfect treatment instead of removing medications just because as other drs had attempted in the past. He takes his time in understanding not only my condition but me as a patient. The nurses who’ve worked there for a while are the kindest always offering me a smile & greet me by name when I come in. I will admit their phone service & appointment making is hectic at times but worth it to see Dr. Ho.

Can't say enough good things about this doctor or his staff. They're up-to-date on the latest medicines and studies, extremely caring, and continuously go above and beyond the call of duty. Feel grateful to have found them.
