Dr Ho was thoroughly knowledgeable about my condition, my past treatment at this facility and with treatment I have received at UMass Med Ctr in Worcester. This was reassuring as well as impressive in every regard. I have utmost confidence in her appraisal of my condition and suggestions she has made to improve my overall health.

Dr. Ho is really thinking my case through, in its individual complexities and oddities, and she will be running tests and considering possibilities other providers had not. I'm very impressed by her knowledge and subtle intelligence and also by her great generosity with her time, staying long after normal hours to respond to all my thoughts and questions and to talk the situation through with me. I also liked her a lot--I appreciated as well her respect for my own intelligence and thoughts. I'm grateful to have been given an appointment with her.

I love Dr Ho. She has been my heart doc for ten years. But she is clearly got a lot on her plate and the only reason I might not recommend her is because she is so overbooked.
