"Dr. Tien Chin Ho is my surgeon. My first impression of her was she was competent and kind. My first time there I had a hip and leg fracture with a failed first surgery. My left leg was at odd angles and 3" shorter than the right. She did her exam carefully and then she hugged me and said she was sorry about my leg. Her humanity shown right through. Her office staff were pleasant, helpful and efficient. She was pregnant, about to deliver, when I had WLS. She is now on extended leave. Her partners of Valley Surgical Specialists, Dr. Boone and Dr. Higa, and the nurse practitioner (?name) are also very competent and caring.
Dr. Ho addressed the risks of surgery on my first visit as well as my preop visit. She is very big on education and understanding that education. I got a binder of things to learn and was tested on my preop visit. Passing grade was 70% - I got 90%.
I would rate Dr. Ho as 10 on a scale of 1-10. Her surgical competence and bedside manner were great."
