Surgery great: interaction with patient marginal
Aug-2024
He made it easy to understand what was going on with my hip and what I needed to do. Answered my questions and actually listened to me and my concerns. Didn't happen with the last surgeon at all! Dr. Ho helped put me at ease about what to expect with the surgery.
Jul-2024
A very high rating in spite of the 40 minutes delay to see him. I appreciate his input.
Jul-2024
I had my preop visit with Dr Ho and I found him to be very informative and he took his time explaining my questions thoroughly. His PA Tyler has also been terrific. I’ve been seeing him for the last 2 years getting injections and leading up to hip replacement surgery.

Great doctor
Jun-2024
Excellent great doctor
May-2024
Knew the medical part but had the bedside manner of a rattlesnake. Didn't even say "Hello" when he entered the room. Looked bored and not happy to be there. Answered questions, however.
Apr-2024
Dr. Hi is amazing! He replaced my hip and knee a few years ago and both have been pain free ever since. Now he’s going to replace my other hip and I can’t wait to walk completely pain free. He is so nice and it’s always a great experience with him.
Apr-2024
Smart and nice but visits feel like he is rushing out before I can ask all my questions

First impression was good.

Based on current and prior contact.

Apr-2023
Helped me a lot and made the pain go away.
Apr-2023
He answered all my questions before surgery (and I had a lot!). Surgery (total knee) went very well and I was walking with no support within five days. Agreeable and competent doctor and staff!!!
Apr-2023
The man knows knee replacement how it should always be accomplished. After experiencing a terrible surgeon I found the other end of the spectrum, a real professional.
Apr-2023
He was straight forward with us.
Apr-2023
I love Dr. Ho. He has the best bedside manner. He’s very professional and kind
Apr-2023
He replaced my hip. He’s a model of efficiency during pre and post surgery visits. Direct and to the point. Surgery went perfectly. Strongly recommend if you need a hip done. Tom, 65.
Apr-2023
Dr Ho and Tyler were awesome. I would highly recommend them and I am looking forward to having Dr Ho replace my other hip.
Apr-2023
The medication he prescribed for leg cramping at night completely eliminated the problem.
Apr-2023
I find him to be an excellent surgeon but a man of few words!
Apr-2023
He was on call when I fell and broke my leg. I had the best doctor in Dr Ho to do the surgery and with great success. 6 month ck up and healed perfect.
Thank u again Dr Ho

Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
Feb-2023
Dr James Ho is a skilled & professional surgeon. Day 2 after my surgery, minimal swelling & pain. I’m very pleased with the results.

Thorough and cut through medical jargon so I understood what he was talking about.

Very thorough and reassuring.
Jan-2023
Really appreciate his patient and thorough answers to my many questions. And...general supportive attitude!
Apr-2021
Answered questions, took “time” with me even though I know he was busy. Successful surgery and recovering rapidly.
Apr-2021
None
Apr-2021
he is very honest up front and herlpful. answers all your questions and keeps track of your issues
Mar-2021
I was very lucky to find Dr. Ho. I had a rare injury to my knee that no other surgeon wanted to undertake the correction of. I actually had one orthopedic surgeon tell me that my knee was nothing but crap (his word) and they wouldn’t touch me with a 10 foot pole.
Dr. Ho had actually performed the needed repair once before. The surgery went very well and I am very grateful. Southern Oregon is fortunate to have such an experienced and talented surgeon.
Mar-2021
Dr. Ho had absolutely no interest in my knee pain and my request to help me stay active as I am an athlete. I was told by an assistant of his that if you’re not a surgical candidate he likely has no interest...those last are my words interpreting what I was told. If, and when, I need to return to the orthopedic center I will have to request another doctor because I cannot work with someone who will not take the time to interpret my x-rays or advise me as to how to accommodate my OA. To me it was a very unacceptable experience to have with a physician! When he walked in the room he didn’t even make eye contact as he in audibly introduced himself.
Mar-2021
Very skilled and knowledgeable.
Mar-2021
I was a new patient to him. He was unfamiliar with my past (Didin't he look at my chart?) Only concerned with mu uniqueness. No suggestions, no real thoughts about my issue. I felt like a freak show.
Mar-2021
Very good surgeon, easy to talk with and explained things well.
Feb-2021
He was very nice , explained everything and listened to me .
Jan-2021
Didn't bother to assess my movement limitations, didn't care about my pain. After looking over the x-rays with me, telling me how the cartilage was very thin and that I had bone spurs as well, all he had to say was, 'You're fat, lose weight, maybe we can do something to fix your hip in a couple years.' I have a shooting pain from my hip down the back of my leg to my knee and he had no suggestion, no test - nothing. His attitude was 'Not my problem'.
Jan-2021
Need to rate after surgery.
Jan-2021
Lacking empathetic bedside manner. Very professional but very cool and aloof.
Jan-2021
First time visit. Hard to judge on one time.
Dec-2020
food job
Dec-2020
It's not like you get to see your surgeon very much because how busy they are. So I'll rate him on the job he does. I'm only five days out of hip replacement surgery and everything is going good so far. I'm very happy with the outcome so far and I'm just trying to get past the recovery period.. looking forward to a brighter future.
Dec-2020
Dr. Ho was quite professional and to the point in my initial meeting with him.
Dec-2020
I appreciate Dr. Ho’s straight forward presentation. He did not rush me & took time to answer my concerns I felt an immediate trust in his abilities to help me. Thank you, Dr. Ho.
Nov-2020
Very pleased with the outcome
Nov-2020
Dr. Ho has been amazing. I would highly recommend anyone in need of hip or knee surgery to schedule with Dr. Ho. He is excellent!
Nov-2020
I was scared to death to have my knee done Dr Ho came highly recommend. And they were correct. I had my surgery 7 weeks ago and I am a new person. I have full range of motion Walk better then I have in 6 years. He has truest changed my life I feel like I can do anything I choose again. Thank you so much
Nov-2020
I am very happy with my hip replacement surgery. No more pain!
Dr. Ho is great!
Nov-2020
He listens, answered my questions, told me in depth about my knee issues.
Nov-2020
I didn't feel heard
Nov-2020
Dr Ho could have introduced himself when walking in. Dr Ho has a very mild manor and could have acted like he cared a little more. I’m sure he’s a very capable MD. Just not very “warm.”
Nov-2020
Provides incisive, thoughtful answers to your questions about your condition and what surgery can and cannot fix.
Oct-2020
Dr. Ho does very fine work, and I am pleased with the outcome!
Oct-2020
Dr. Hi was very thorough in his evaluation of my hip issue.
Sep-2020
Dr. Ho was very professional,yet very honest with advising me what action I need to take now to prevent further damage to my joints.His tactful yet blunt advice has given me the determination to follow his advice.I appreciate him for being forthright and clearly painting a picture of my future if I do not take this seriously.I found him kind and a very good listener.
Sep-2020
Very bad bedside manner. Was not kind at all!
Aug-2020
Excellent surgeon and great personality.
Aug-2020
Did not visit while I was in the hospital.Happy with the partial knee surgery.
Aug-2020
One of the top Orthopedic surgeons I've ever had (and I had some amazing ones in San Francisco and Portland). I've had a very complex knee injury and found him to be a meticulous surgeon with a genuine care for me as a person.
Aug-2020
He's a man who knows what he is doing, and he does it so well. He made my surgery experience very easy to tolerate. He is a master of his craft... Thank you Dr. Ho!
Aug-2020
I am impressed with Dr. Ho! Dr Ho is a great surgeon who took wonderful care of me while in the hospital and now with his follow up care.
Aug-2020
I was glad to meet Dr Ho. I was under anathesia when he performed surgery. He certainly did a good job on my hip and now I am walking pretty good. He really knows what he is doing !
Jul-2020
DR. HO'S PERFORMANCE WAS, WITHOUT DOUBT, ABOVE BOARD. HE PERFORMED MY KNEE REPAIR SWIFTLY AND WITHOUT ANY DELAY. NOT TO MENTION WHILE HE WAS INSIDE OF MY KNEE HE REMOVED SOME ARTHRITIC MATERIAL AS WELL. MY RECOVERY HAS BEEN SPEEDY AND WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. I AM VERY SATISFIED!! THANK YOU
Jul-2020
I totally trust this man. One hell of a surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone.
Jul-2020
Dr-ho's reputation and expertise are well known. I have complete confidence being in dr-ho's care

He shows sincere concern and provides sincere answers.
Jul-2020
Dr gave me all the data required to make an informed decision.
Jun-2020
Excellent surgeon and I appreciate his laid back personality. He balances out my tendency to worry or over think issues regarding my knee replacement.
Jun-2020
He's very good and informational. Tells me how and why the exercises help the area -
Jun-2020
Compassionate provider! Thank you so much for taking the time in answering my many questions1
May-2020
VERY happy with results! Excellent doctor!
Apr-2020
I never doubt that he cares about my welfare. He is also an excellent educator who can effectively answer all my questions while teaching me why something is causing me trouble. His surgery skills are excellent -- and there, too, he explains very clearly what he did, why, and how it should help -- which it did. Going forward, I have absolute faith in the next surgery outcome.
Apr-2020
Short wait. Professional.
Apr-2020
I like Dr Ho
Apr-2020
Dr Ho is very compassionate understanding and try’s to meet all your needs
Apr-2020
I find D r. Ho easy to talk to and willing to answer my question. I will recommend him to others.
Mar-2020
Waited in office for 15 minutes after my appt. time. Otherwise, excellent service
Mar-2020
Dr. Ho is truly an expert in his field and this was apparent listening to the hospital staff who deals with both surgery and post op. He also is willing to answer all of your questions.
Feb-2020
Listens well and did a great job on my hip. Highly recommend Dr. James Ho
Feb-2020
Impressive!
Feb-2020
Been living with hip pain for longer than I should have. Such an easy fix with orthotics, should have visited him much sooner. Attentive, thorough and easy to talk to.
Feb-2020
He was very not personable, came in the room, did not sit down and hear my concerns as to my injury. Did a few tests and then was out the door. Maybe 5 minutes. There were xrays up on the screen and did not have me look at them and explain what he saw, even though he said I had no arthritis . Felt like he did not address any of my concerns.
Feb-2020
He gets upset when you seek a second opinion.
Feb-2020
Didn’t see him the week before procedure day after. Then Never saw him , until six weeks after operation. Granted it was the holidays. But his work was good
Feb-2020
Amazing. 30+ year's of pain GONE.
I can't say thank you enough.
Feb-2020
Very pleased with the whole experience.
Feb-2020
Dr. Ho and his assistant were professional and they took the time to explain and listen. Dr. Ho came in before surgery and took the time to talk to me and ask if I had any questions
Feb-2020
I've never had a worse experience. He literally walked in and within 45 seconds proclaimed a diagnosis that was completely wrong. I had no symptoms that corresponded with his diagnosis. He did not even exam me or ask questions. It was a complete waste of time and money - this kind of care (or lack of it) is not what insurance companies should be paying for.
Feb-2020
Very easy to talk too. Dr Ho answered all my questions and concerns. My final rating will be after my surgery.
Feb-2020
Very caring, good at what he does and knows what he's doing
Jan-2020
I saw Tyler his PA who was very helpful and took all the time I needed
Jan-2020
Very professional and friendly office. We saw his PA Tyler and were very impressed with his knowledge base and compassion.

Not chatty, gets to the point. Answers questions in detail, which I appreciated.

Jan-2020
I was treated with courtesy and I enjoyed the staff at the hospital
Jan-2020
He listens to and answers all your questions. Seems to know his business. Feel comfortable with him.
Jan-2020
The very best in the valley!!!!!!
Jan-2020
Straight forward and i like that!
Jan-2020
Excellent surgeon. Interaction with him was minimal.
Jan-2020
Awesome doctor great bedside manner he answered all of my questions and went over my knee surgery in detail I just had my surgery 3 weeks ago but I fell confident he repaired it thank you doctor Ho
Dec-2019
Dr. Ho is competent in his work. His bedside manner can be a little distant.
Jan-2020
He does a good job.
Dec-2019
I did not ever see Dr. Ho, only a PA, therefore I cannot rate him.
Dec-2019
Really take good care and make me feel better
Dec-2019
Had an appointment with him but saw the PA who was fine no problem.
But when I make an appmt with a doctor I should be told I won’t or may not see him (Dr Ho).
Dec-2019
spent almost no time, impersonal. Procedurally very good
Dec-2019
I was so pleased with the results of my surgery.
Dec-2019
Dr. Ho is exceptional! Totally professionally and gave me a sense of security & confidence.
Dec-2019
He was nice and professional. He gave me hope and answers to getting my hip replaced. I went to 3 other Drs who either didn't want to do my hip replacement or other Drs were rude and not compassionate about what i was going thru and gave me no answers or hope. Dr ho is great and gave me answers and hope i need. I will finally will get my hip replaced after years of pain thanks to Dr ho and his team. So glad darlenas Pike and Dr vanhorne referred me to him.
Dec-2019
I would definitely trust Dr Ho
Dec-2019
I had a traumatic knee injury and Dr. Ho did a meticulous job in repairing it and providing ongoing care as I healed. I was in the hospital for six days and his caring, calm manner was very comforting. He is a very skilled surgeon. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been in Dr. Ho's care, we are lucky to have someone with his expertise in Southern Oregon.
Dec-2019
I’ll be back. Double hip shots working well, sugar at 150. Feel great. May go leap a tall building tomorrow after it warms up, 😂🤣😂🤣😆
Dec-2019
Dr. Ho was very professional, offering a detailed description of the condition I was seeking help with. He explained what was going as well as future things to be aware of.
Nov-2019
I had an appointment with Dr. Ho and yet I never saw him, only the PA. Bad enough but I was not even told that would be the case.
Dec-2019
Hip replacement went exactly like Dr Ho briefed me. Recovery has been less painful and very fast. Thank you very much for taking care of my osteoarthritis Dr Ho.
Nov-2019
Dr. Ho is a very knowledgeable and professional. Has always been very through and complete in his diagnosis and treatment of my medical issues
Nov-2019
Excellent in every way!

He gave clear, concise answers to my questions. He did not stay to respond to all of extensive list.
Nov-2019
My hip replacement and recovery went well. Im 69 and I have full confidence in Dr Ho.
Nov-2019
A great Knee replacement surgery. He’s a little quiet.
But opens up, and will answer all of your questions.
I felt totally relaxed and confident that my knee replacement surgery was going to be a 100% success.
I would Highly recommend Dr. Ho for knee replacement. Surgery
Nov-2019
I felt very safe to speak my mind with Dr. Ho. He was an excellent listener - I respected his perception of my pertinent issues. I will be considering the possibility of hip replacement surgery with Dr. Ho.
Oct-2019
I like his matter-of-fact approach, and his taking the time to answer questions and concerns. Most importantly, the surgery was very successful.
Oct-2019
Very nice and informative and understanding.. Will be proud to have him do my surgery.
Nov-2019
easy to talk to
Oct-2019
First visit, long wait but the Dr was knowledgeable and informative.
Oct-2019
Kept me waiting two hours. Never apologized. Seemed in a hurry for his next appointment. Didn’t seem to care about my situation. Never asked me any questions. Never touched my knee.
Oct-2019
Fast accurate diagnosis by Dr.Ho. It gave me confidence and assurance to move forward with surgery to repair my knee.
Oct-2019
I went in for an assessment of my knee last Friday. I'm in a lot of pain while I wait for a meniscus repair surgery.it I have been waiting for an MRI referral so I can schedule my surgery.Why is it taking a week to get an MRI referral? Ive called your office everyday, but no one seems to have a good explanation other than that they are waiting for notes on my chart to be completed. Should it take a week for chart notes for a patient desperately waiting for surgery? this
credulous!
Oct-2019
Once the problem was found. They got us in and repaired the hip with a complete success. Couldn’t be any happier with the treatment I received. Dr Ho did an excellent job.
Oct-2019
Very professional and personable. Explained everything so that I understood and was able to explain it to my husband.
Oct-2019
Seemed nice but a bit curt with check-up on hip replacement.
Oct-2019
Dr Ho did such a good job on my knee if you need a knee replasment he is the man hes doing my other one next year
Sep-2019
Efficient professional comfortable.
Instills confidence.
Sep-2019
Dr. Ho is my hip replacement hero! Will see him in 5 years.
Sep-2019
He's just the best.
Sep-2019
Top notch surgeon! Excellent bedside manner. He fills the patient with confidence.
Sep-2019
Wait months for an appt to have him spend a few minutes with you, most of it standing like he wants to leave. Had a painful injury, but he said there was no need for surgery so it was "fine". A referral for physical therapy would've been helpful.
Sep-2019
Extremely professional, very prudent
Aug-2019
Excellent Surgeon. Couldn't be happier with my results. Thank you Dr Ho.
Aug-2019
Very smart, caring and compassionate about his work.
Aug-2019
He’s not very personal doesn’t talk very much doesn’t explain very much about what’s going on what could or could not happen
Aug-2019
Friendly, talkative.
Jul-2019
Dr Ho is outstanding in his field! This is the second time he has done surgery on me (my hip 2 years ago) & now my knee. Both surgeries successful!
Jul-2019
HE IS A GOOD LISTENER AND OFFERS GOOD OPTIONS AND HELPS TO MAKE ME MORE COMFORTABLE AND ABLE TO HEAL. HE CARES ABOUT US!!
Jul-2019
Is taking good care of my hips and the pain I had.
Jul-2019
This is my second knee replacement. Dr. Ho has each time took my fears away and reassured me that everything will be great. I have told a number of my friends what a great doctor. Thanks!
Jul-2019
I don't feel like he listened to me at all. He seemed annoyed that I asked questions, and just wanted to rush me out without actually listening to my symptoms.
Jul-2019
Very good surgeon!! We felt very confident in his experience and skill. He also has a great bedside manner!!
Jul-2019
I am currently looking forward to Orthopedic surgery with Dr. Ho, with coincidence in his abilities.

He listened
Jul-2019
Lots of waiting between doctor assistant and ex ray. Wish he would explain more the procedure but pretty much just answers our questions and doesn’t voluntarily give more I fo
Jul-2019
Very kind and professional. Clearly explained the treatment options to me.
Jun-2019
All we’ve had is a preliminary meeting. His office was contacting a previous surgeon for information on an implant product. No call back in 9 days. Could be his assistant, don’t know.
Jun-2019
Does not volunteer detailed information about surgery without specific q
Jun-2019
There is always room for improvement.
Jun-2019
Always get in quick to see Dr Ho for my hip injections. He's a very nice doctor & answers all questions I might have.
Jun-2019
it was a good meeting. i believe he knows what he is talking about... like his demeanor.. will give his recommendation serious consideration.. and i think he will do a good job if i continue with his surgery...
Jun-2019
Fabulous knowledge, skill and bedside manner. Still waiting to see the results as surgery was only this morning. So far so good.
Jun-2019
Professional & informative

Professional and competent surgeon.

Very good doctor. Kind and very experienced.
May-2019
Could smile more. Put patient at ease.
May-2019
I like the Dr
May-2019
I am not questioning Dr. Ho’s medical expertise but he is the least friendly doctor I have ever experienced. I have accompanied my mentally handicapped friend twice now to see Dr. Ho and I would never take him again. He was very impatient and rude.
May-2019
Was not rushed and spent time with me answering all questions
May-2019
Very rude and unprofessional. Used the term morbidly obese several times in a superior tone.
May-2019
Dry personality
May-2019
Dr. Ho's exam, advise/prognosis/options were clearly explained. His professional and personal approach: comforting, encouraging, direct and efficient. No question, we would return to HIM if/when for any further specialty surgery!
May-2019
Enjoyed having him as my Dr.
May-2019
Amazing Dr and listens to my concerns will recommend to anyone
May-2019
Very knowledgeable. I feel confident that he will do his best to get me walking again

Dick McGregor
May-2019
Very professional and clear.
May-2019
First meeting. I felt confident in him.
May-2019
I don't understand why I am to go to physical therapy. I don't know if physical therapy is to call me or if I am to call them. Am I looking at a knee replacement soon or later when my knee gets worse? Very confused.
Apr-2019
Very nice young man! Very informative explained everything very well.
Apr-2019
Gave me plenty of time to ask all my questions.
Apr-2019
Nice and explained things well.
Apr-2019
Personable. Direct and to the point. Answers all questions
Apr-2019
Dr. Ho seems very knowledgeable but his “bedside” manner needs to be improved. I hope his surgical skills are a 5 star.
Apr-2019
He did such a good job that I forget that my hip isn't my own.
Apr-2019
Informative and knowledgeable
Apr-2019
He was much more open to listening to my comments.
Apr-2019
To get top would be to routinely put up the MRI on the computer screen to better create an understanding of my condition.
Apr-2019
Closed eyes whole time he talked to me, did not give me any kind of pain management recommendations did not give me a recommendation for a brace - was overall not helpful at all and came off terribly unprofessional
Apr-2019
Takes time to explain procedure, answer all questions my questions.
Apr-2019
Very nice. Took his time to explain my options.
Apr-2019
Fabulous, calm, knowledgeable- can't believe there is anyone better to trust my knee with!!!
Apr-2019
Had "preopp" appointment. Dr. Ho was a good listener and answered all my questions.
Apr-2019
Efficient, knowledgeable, and considerate.
Mar-2019
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Ho. Besides being an excellent surgeon, he is patient and thorough during pre and post surgery exams. I had total hip replacement surgery and I was quickly back on my feet.
Mar-2019
very good doctor , he replaced my right knee, there was hardly any pain with it and he is a very thorough doctor.
Mar-2019
I like his get to the point get it done approach
Mar-2019
When I had surgery Dr Ho was so attentive to me while I was in the hospital and during follow-up visits. He is a very caring man.
Mar-2019
Poor bedside manner and I’m not very satisfied with overall care.
Mar-2019
Really professional tells you what you need to know explain things really well I'm glad to have met my doctor
Mar-2019

I felt unheard. He was rushing to surgery and I felt like my concerns regarding pain were dismissed.

Didn’t answer questions I had, no eye contact & horrible bedside manner.

Provided clear explanation of all alternatives. Excellent professional manner.
He was helpful in helping me understand my situation.
Very cordial and to the point. Answered all my questions.
very detailed in explaining everything
Surgery great: interaction with patient marginal
He made it easy to understand what was going on with my hip and what I needed to do. Answered my questions and actually listened to me and my concerns. Didn't happen with the last surgeon at all! Dr. Ho helped put me at ease about what to expect with the surgery.
A very high rating in spite of the 40 minutes delay to see him. I appreciate his input.
I had my preop visit with Dr Ho and I found him to be very informative and he took his time explaining my questions thoroughly. His PA Tyler has also been terrific. I’ve been seeing him for the last 2 years getting injections and leading up to hip replacement surgery.
Dr Ho was very efficient and clear He answered questions readily and I never felt rushed
Dr. Ho is professional, and most importantly he is a great surgeon.
