5.0 star star star star starHe clearly had my records and was referencing them during our conversation. Prevented me from having to repeat an entire history. He also recommended a medication and then said now let's discuss without the expectation that I would take his recommendation at face value. Well, I'm may consider the medication in the future, I will try to lifestyle changes that he suggested first. I appreciated the chance to have a discussion about this and not feel but a medication was being imposed.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Ho was excellent. He was very attentive. Asked alot of questions and answered alot of questions. He has very hospitable personality and welcoming. As a new patient I was very pleased. I wish more doctors were like him. It would make coming to the doctor easier and more stress free.

5.0 star star star star starI find Dr. Ho very efficient and knowledgeable. He assessed my whole health in relation to my neurological concerns. He did seem a little judgmental about my life choices, but his kind nature reassured me that he is coming from a place of concern for my health. I actually appreciate that he presses me a bit about my choices, so that I understand that I should change my habits for my health and be responsible.

5.0 star star star star starDr Ho is an excellent doctor. He asks a ton of questions and makes you feel confident in his analysis. He's also very friendly. He gives you the time needed to get all your questions answered as well. I also enjoyed having a student there with him to see how he teaches.

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderI give him a score of 1, because he is friendly and has a sense of humor. Otherwise, it would have been a 0, since the visit ended up not listening to my concerns and politely dismissing me.
Disclosures
Sam U. Ho, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.
External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
