Dr. Ho is The Best! I am very grateful to call him my doctor!
Dr. Ho is very thorough. He listens and explains things very well.
Dr ho is very good
Great experience. Dr. Ho was very easy to engage with over the telemedicine conference. We made a plan together and I'm much more confident moving forward.
Dr Ho, as always, was very tuned into my situation and questions. He shared info and full answers to my concerns and questions. He was very personable, compassionate and even humorous as we discussed my care. He also acknowledged and included my daughters who were on the phone during the visit. It was a very good visit. Thanks!!
Dr. Ho and all others I interacted with this week showed concern, listened to me and allowed me to make some personal medical decisions when appropriate.
Dr Ho is truly an exceptional provider. When he enters the exam room he has read my chart and reviewed any test results I have had even from other providers since my last visit. I appreciate his compassionate care and willingness to listen. He takes the time to acknowledge lifestyle changes I have worked hard to achieve and how they are improving my condition (even though I have a long way to go). I always feel heard, and encouraged to continue to work towards better overall health.
*Dr. L. Ho is an excellent doctor, I'm happy I'm in his care.

Dr. Ho excellent care provider
[...] Extremely satisfied with Dr. Ho. He was very informed about my previous issues and discussed with me my current condition in a understandable way.
Very professional and attentive
It was clear Dr. Ho [...] was able to efficiently & accurately sum things up for where we were prior to that appt. I felt comfortable with him and confident & trusting of his skill and knowledge.
Dr. Ho never appears to be in a rush or just "going through the motions". He listens and cares about making his patients feel comfortable.
My doctor always answers any questions I have. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone with lung issues.
This was my first time seeing Dr. Ho, since my previous provider left the practice. He made a great effort to familiarize himself with the details of my condition, to explain his thinking, and to get my input.
Truly excellent!
As I've been saying in all of these surveys for the last few years, Dr Ho is a very knowledgeable consummate professional and the UWMC is lucky to have him
I don't know what more could be improved upon because it seemed flawless to me and dealing with Dr. Ho for the first time was a real pleasure, he couldn't have been nicer.
Overall it was a wonderful experience dealing with Dr. Ho and the televisit process was very easy to maneuver through.
Dr. Ho was so thorough and explained everything using words I could understand. He gave me many opportunities to ask questions. He had a plan for me before I walked in the building. I was very impressed and left my appointment feeling positive.
Dr. Ho is the best doctor I have ever had!

I am very thankful for Dr Ho.
Dr. Ho has been very good about explaining my illness and options available for treatment. He has been responsive to my questions, and has listened to my suggestions.
Care provider care a lot about my situation as I described.
Dr. Ho is an amazing Dr. He takes time with me and makes me feel like I matter! I absolutely love Dr. Ho! I want him as my pulmonary Dr. Forever! I feel as if he truly cares about my health and I know because of him I'm feeling so much better with breathing etc! He's a great Dr. And such a good person!
Dr Ho is top notch. He took the time to share his screen and detailed and explained the Cat Scan comparisons. He's very thorough and he also takes time to check on the mental health of me/his patient as well. This by far is the most standout part about him because he helps keep me in check and focused on the bright side. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ho
Dr. Ho is great
[...] Dr. Ho really impressed me with his knowledge of my case and understanding of the complexities of my health. He took the time to discuss with me the next steps and gave me time for questions and concerns. I would give him 5 stars for our initial appointment and I am looking forward to our next appointment.
Both the nurse who checked me in and Dr. HO were very professional and efficient. The video visit was just fine.
Dr Ho was extremely thorough in his interview, discussion of care plans, diagnostics, and we particularly appreciated that he asked if we were willing to do things rather than just saying they needed to be done. Additionally I truly appreciated the call from his assistant [...] who made sure that our video connection was sound and that we were fully prepared to meet with Dr Ho. We have never had that level of care for clarity of the connection while using telemedicine through other providers.
I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Ho as my doctor! I am grateful for all his staff and for being a patient @ UW!
Dr. Ho best of the best! [...]
Dr Ho made an effort to work out video/audio problems. Then switched to phone when problems persisted.
As previously stated, Dr. Ho is excellent to work with. I trust both his concern and knowledge.
