Dr. Ho provided a well explained list of my options, answered my questions, and never made me feel rushed. Most impressive of all was when I began crying. Dr. Ho got a box of tissues, pulled some out, and handed them to me. When I apologized for crying, Dr. Ho said, "No. You have a lot going on." It was a short, simple response that comforted and touched me. I never would have expected that from a surgeon.
