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.

Dr. Ho has great bedside manners. He's logical and caring.

There is no explanation for the symptoms I have but the doctor tried very hard to listen and help which Is appreciated. Will likely try surgery to see if a left sided tonsillectomy or biopsy/testing for chronic bacteria could help.

Dr. Ho is a leading expert in his field and no doubt provided a great care for me with my oral cancer. He is also of a great personality -- I leave with a lot of comfort and much less worry each time I got to talk to him. The care plan he suggested were positive and forward-looking.

Dr. Allen Ho
From the moment I met Dr Ho in 2021, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. His thorough examination and attention to detail instilled confidence in me from the start. Not only did he diagnose my squamous cell tongue cancer accurately, he also tailored a comprehensive treatment plan that addressed my specific needs and preferences. Throughout my cancer surgery and radiation treatments, Dr. Ho remained accessible and supportive. He provided guidance and reassurance every step of the way. I now see Dr Ho every 4 months for my follow up visits. His continuous compassionate demeanor and genuine concern for my overall well-being is what it’s all about. He’s dedicated to his patients. He cares about patients. He’s the best! I love and appreciate him dearly.
