Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Not confirmed This office is listed as taking Denti-Cal but we could not find it in the current state listing. That is not the same as a no, so call and ask.
Medi-Cal plan type: Fee for service. Medi-Cal dental also runs through managed care plans in Sacramento and Los Angeles counties, and the state list we check does not cover those. If you are on a dental plan card rather than plain Medi-Cal, ask the office whether they take your plan.
Other insurance: Not known. This list is built around Medi-Cal dental, so it does not track private plans. Ask the office which ones they take.

4.3 out of 5 from 12 reviews.

I had a very positive experience. The doctor was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. They took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and confident in the treatment. The staff was also kind and supportive. I truly appreciate their expertise and compassionate attitude, and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality care.

Dr Ho is my mom’s family doctor for more than 10years, he speaks both mandarin and Cantonese. He is the best doctor! He is so dedicated and he cares his pt a lot! Unlike other doctors, he is the doctor who will listen to pt carefully

I strongly advise against seeking medical care from Dr. Ho. My mother experienced a tragic death after receiving a Covid booster vaccine shot from Doctor Ho which was administered 3 weeks later after she had Covid twice with a relapse and advised her to go to her chemo treatment. Complete under carelessness on his behalf. The medical guidelines recommend waiting 3-6 months before administering any Covid booster vaccine shot, and this was not followed by this doctor! Unfortunately, she started experiencing body aches, fevers, chest pains, and back pain she could not fight it off after a few weeks. She explained to him she was feeling sick and he did nothing to help her which shortly afterwards landed her in the hospital. My mother recently passed away due to complications arising from Covid shortly after the shot and died in May of this year.
My family's distress was exacerbated by Dr. Ho's lack of communication and bedside manner. Despite being our family doctor for over two decades, he never reached out to check on my mother's condition during her hospital stay. His lack of compassion and empathy during such a difficult time was profoundly disappointing.
Additionally, our experiences at his office were far from satisfactory. We observed a lack of fairness and respect in the way he treated patients of different races. This discrimination was evident in how we, as a non-matching race, had to wait significantly longer in the waiting room compared to others. This happened repeatedly.
I implore you to consider your options carefully when choosing a healthcare provider for yourself or your loved ones. Dr. Ho's disregard for proper medical protocols and his behavior towards patients of different races should raise serious concerns about the quality of care and respect one can expect from him!
