I had a much better feeling with Gary Ho this time than I have in the past. I think he became much more responsive to my needs, and I really appreciated that. And I find him far more professional, I would say, than I have sometimes in the past when he was rather cold. So I guess that's it.

The overall experience was excellent, and Dr. Ho was respectful. The only issue that I had was the lengthy time between appointments -- 6 months. That seems a bit too long and I would like to have the option of a visit every three to five months.
