Dr. Phillip Ho

Hi all - Anyone know much about Dr. Ho? Wondering if he's a good OB to go with.

Thanks!

Yes! I see Dr. Ho and he is wonderful. I am trying to conceive with IUI procedure now, this is my first trial. So, I cannot say much about pregnancy, but all throught the test and the process, the Doctor has been very helpful and professional, seems to be experienced (I see lots of baby pictures on the wall, of course from the parents who thank him for the results!), and most of all, the atmosphere is very good. I strongly recommend him!

he is very very professional. Very polite, very clear. I am using him for my second baby in 2 years... The only thing that i can say on the negative is that he is not very forthcoming... i'm not sure if thats the right word... what i mean is he is not the chatty type who will tell you every detail and hold your hand through the whole thing. But i can say from experience that he is the man that you want at the delivery. Very calm and most of all i felt very safe.

his staff are fantastic too. Kelly is an angel and seems to know every mum and every baby.

hi, we used dr ho for our IVF and were extremely pleased with him. we would strongly recommend him. i agree with southside mum, he is not going to whisper inspirational stories to you, but he will do his very best and make time for you if you need him.


he is very busy, and that can get exasperating, but balance it out with the thought that there is virtually no waiting time to get to see him. other clinics in north america have usually a 3 month waiting time before you can start your fertility treatments. not with dr ho...he gets going as soon as you're ready.

The great thing about Dr. Ho is that he doesn't give you all the talk that is not necessary, but keep working to improve the situation, give you all the necessary information as well. I think his time is precious as he is helping a lot of patients. But if you need to ask extra questions, Kelly, his assistant is there for you. She is very nice, takes time to explain things in detail, and give you good encouragement.

Agreed with macaron mania. Dr Ho is pretty quiet as long as you prepare all the questions I am sure he will give you a full explanation. Kelly is very friendly and helpful and you can always call her for help.

Can anyone give me the details for Dr Ho, telephone number, address etc???

Thanks......

If you don't have insurance, you can ask him for packages.He has special package deals which works out fine.

Hi RA - I think you can get the package even if you do have insurance. Are there several packages that Ho offers?

Southside Mum, how was Dr. Ho at the delivery of your first? Were you induced at all? Did he follow your lead about how you wanted things to proceed? I keep hearing great things about his abilities but also keep hearing about people's interventions. I know I shouldn't read too much into other people's deliveries since every labour is different but when I asked him how long my labour would likely to be since my first was quite fast he suggested inducing me by breaking my waters - given that it was my 12 week checkup I found this very alarming! I also asked about getting a doula which went down really badly - totally unneccesary, might get in the way and they cause problems by keeping mothers at home for too long.


Given that I've already had one baby with just a bit of gas and air I know I can trust my body and want a very natural birth. Indeed, I'm quite keen to have a go at hypobirthing! However, his comments so far have me feeling I won't be able to feel that I have much control over happenings?

I am thinking about changing from Dr. Ho to someone else. I agree that he is very professional and seems to be good at what he does and very knowledgable, but he just made me very sad and uncomfortable with certain issues.


Crystal, he does that during my examination, too. Talking to the nurses in Chinese, but I think it is mostly simple instructions.


And I do prefer taking my husband as well as Doctor obviously takes more time to examine when he is around, and the consultation is more in detail (when I am alone, he only takes 3 minutes, but when my husband is around he doesn't mind spending 30 minutes with us.)


He repeatedly emphasized one of the causes of all of our problems (infertility and miscarriage) which is my "age", and the consequent "low quality of the eggs (egg's chlomosomal disorder etc.". Never ever mentioned about sperm quality(which I take as a reflection of the male dominant culture or his basic attitude) . I consider this fertility treatment as a team effort. So, being blamed on my "age" is not only very very painful but absolutely unnecessary and non constructive. If I were 25yrs old, I wouldn't be paying 700HKD for 3 min consultation!!! I just feel less and less confident about my fertility although I am in good health, have regular cycles and good hormone levels (His assistant thought I was 20 something looking at my blood level), I came to have negative prospects of my fertility than before I contacted Dr. Ho. You see, I thought my feelings don’t matter as what we need is results, and if Dr. knows what he’s doing and delivers results, that is all it matters. But because of his attitude, my outlook has deteriorated, not improve (isn’t that what is supposed to happen with professional help???).


Anyway, I may be being a bit too critical as I have not been successful in our attempt, but it seems, when things are going well, Dr is very kind and friendly, but when things are not going well, Dr becomes super defensive and become not so supportive, and makes me feel bad. (I think he felt being questioned of his judgment when we asked many questions or something, but he was quite rude when we sat to talk about our situation about the missed miscarriage. And, when we were leaving the room he said Sorry to my husband calling his name, but completely ignored me!!!) That is my overall impression. I think I will go to another clinic for my next attempt. I have some friend's recommendation, but more info is appreciated. I will invest a bit more money in initial screening of several doctors and see which one I really like.
