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.

I have been seeing Dr Ho since 2008 when I was close to death due to the negligence of another doctor and hospital. Dr Ho knew immediately what was needed and he did it. There was a long road to recovery but he took ALL the time needed to get me back on track. I would and do recommend him to all my family and friends. He truly cares for his patients and his staff. I wish there were more doctors and people like Dr Ho. Some may think he’s hard to understand but he is very knowledgeable and passionate so if you just listen to him you can understand him. If you have trouble he will keep explaining himself until you understand. I don’t have a problem understanding him but some might. Dr Ho in my experience is top notch!

Wonderful doctor. He is very intelligent and cares about his patients. Wait time is usually long but he is very in demand doctor. Worth the wait.

BEWARE!!!!! Dr. Ho uses RNs to provide the anesthesia for his procedures. He does not use an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist. This is a very dangerous practice (ask Joan Rivers). Do you want someone with zero training in anesthesia administering propofol to you or your family member? He also claims that he can not do an EGD and colonoscopy at the same visit due to medicare rules. That is a LIE. He won't do them together because then he can't bill you for both procedures seperatley

I went to Dr. Ho for a routine colonoscopy after a prior one by another doctor a year earlier had some issues for followup. I found Dr. Ho to be very down to earth, easy to talk with, and reassuring about my concerns. The procedure went without a hitch (in as much as a colonoscopy can), and he spent plenty of time after the procedure and at the followup office visit recapping what he found and discussing future treatment.
