I had a horrible allergic reaction for days that wasn't going away and went to 3 different doctors, took medication and nothing was helping. I was running out of options, and I got lucky Dr Ho was able to see me during her break the day I called. Within 10 minutes of talking to her she knew exactly what to do, the perfect medications, and just like that I was good to go! All my rash's, hives, and coughs disappeared. She's a magician and I'd give her 10 stars if I could. I'm not a fan of going to the doctors or even writing reviews, but wow she's super smart and experienced. One of the best doctors

Dr. Ho is an extremely knowledgable and kind doctor. I have felt nothing but the best care since I met her and am very happy with my experience. I've been her patient for a while and am now receive my shots once every 2-3 weeks. The kindness and ease with which she helps me negotiate the complex allergies I sadly have has made everything form hay fever to food allergies more clear, less problematic and my most severe symptoms are gone. I am so grateful for my care at Dr. Ho's practice.

Went here to get an allergy test few weeks ago. They took me right away which was nice but also suspicious. Did an allergy test on me which only took 30-45 min. Co-pay was $35 and that was it. I got billed $1600 few weeks later!!!. I have insurance so I was billed $467 but that is still ABSURD. When I got tested, Dr. Ho said the tests aren't super accurate. So basically, I got charged $1600 for them to say it might be these following items but it's not 100%. I am still bloated everyday and still not feeling my best.
I called my insurance and they said oh it's $1875 but on the bill

Dr. Sandra Ho is an exceptional physician. I have a skin condition that I am sure was allergy related. Dr. Ho tested me and my results are very insightful. Had I not gone to Dr. Ho I wouldn't have realized that there are additional things to which I am allergic. Dr. Ho reassured me my condition was not uncommon which made me feel so relieved. Dr. Ho is is a kind and explained all the questions I had. I look forward to continuing visits with Dr. Ho as I am confident she will indeed help my body resolve my allergies. Highly recommend!

Dr. Ho is one of the best doctors I have ever had. Very understanding. Listens and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. I highly recommend her.
They also have a very good and communicable billing department especially Nicole. They tell you exactly what you are paying for and what the insurance will pay for, and they know the process of dealing with insurance. Super helpful!

I saw Dr. Ho last week because I had been coughing and wheezing for a few weeks. My brother who is a patient at this office recommended I see his doctor. Even though it's quite a drive, I was feeling so terrible that I bit the bullet and made the appointment. The office staff was friendly and professional and I was in a room within minutes of arriving. Dr. Ho did breathing tests on me, got to know my history and examined me. She gave me a breathing treatment and I felt better right away! She also prescribed me some medications and now feel basically back to normal. I'm so glad I

Started seeing Dr. Ho three months ago for allergy shots. Her and her staff are great. They have helped me manage my allergies that worsened when we relocated to LA. I love the office staff here, always helpful and just the sweetest people. I've also seen Dr. Geller (sp?) at this office and he was very helpful and knowledgeable too.

Most people hate going to the dentist... Me, allergists would normally put me off. But... Dr. Ho was great! Really! On time, asked questions, listened to concerns and worries. Like I said my previous experience with another doctor in MDR was such a nightmare I didn't think I would ever see another allergist but now all that is in the past. I'm confident that I have an advocate for my health and I am so happy. Thank you Dr. Ho!

I visited Dr. Ho based on favorable reviews from fellow allergy sufferers and it couldn't have been a more positive experience! Right from the start, the staff were organized and welcoming. I have encountered other medical offices that seem indifferent but this office was warm and efficient in their manner. The process of testing was not painful as I had imagined it would be.....probably because Dr. Ho's assistant, Ana, put me at ease with the process. When it came down to analyzing the outcome of the tests, Dr. Ho took my husband and me into her office and explained everything in

Dr. Sandra Ho is the best in her field. I had severe seasonal allergies and had suspicion about being allergic to certain foods. She is incredibly patient and knowledgable and listens to you. She explained the whole process of being tested for food allergies to me and really put me at ease about it. She spent a lot of time with me afterwards explaining the results and even printed out some useful information on ways to help deal with food allergies and environmental allergies. She is caring, knowledgable, and goes the extra mile for her patients. I don't live that close to her office but it

I highly recommend Dr. Sandra A. Ho for an allergist!!! I was nervous about going in for allergy testing - I dread seeing doctors and was worried about the testing! Her office staff and nurse Ana were very nice, patient, and understanding and made me feel comfortable. It was nothing to worry about at all. It was painless and quick. I'm so glad I went in for testing because now I know exactly what I'm allergic to, what I should avoid, and what I should have treated.
Dr. Sandra A. Ho was extremely professional, knowledgeable, nice, and patient! She took the time to thoroughly answer all
