“Dr. Ho Takes Care of Business”
I connected with Dr. Ho & About Skin Dermatology in November 2014 after reviewing that year's latest issue of 5280's "Top Docs" Rankings. Upon contacting the office & learning of Dr. Cohen's lengthy wait list, I was referred to Dr. Ho...and what a fortuitous referral! While Dr. Cohen received the "Top Doc" accolade, I have no doubt that Dr. Ho will one day share the honor. As someone experiencing mild but annoying adult hormonal acne (c'mon, I'm 43 & going downhill fast!), I have tried several providers in the Denver Area since relocating here in 2010 but haven't felt completely satisfied with my care. Because my acne is mild, I have felt dismissed & have even been told, "one day you're going to wish you still looked like this." As someone that likes to joke around, I truly appreciate the humor & realize that my skin OCD is sometimes CDO, but I would rather not be dealing with acne - ever - if I can appropriately address it to the best of my ability. My most recent provider told me that he couldn't do anything more for me unless I was willing to take isotretinoin. While I am very open to treatment suggestions, that particular plan of care is of concern for me perrsonally as I have several pre-existing conditions (colitis, severe dry eyes and high LDL levels) that may be exacerbated as a result of starting isotretinoin, so I was really hoping to exhaust all options prior to this regimen.
Right away I knew Dr. Ho was different as he spent at least 45 minutes with me during my initial consultation asking very detailed questions about past treatment regimens & getting a better sense of my health history. Since then, I have probably seen him an additional 7 times for pretty minor issues (small nodule cortisone injections & one annual skin check) & he is always very patient & accommodating as I usually have many questions. His staff (Amanda, Mona Rae & Winda/Wynda) also do an excellent job with follow-up (returning medical question calls, facilitating prescription refills & providing available product samples & drug manufacturer savings coupons which are a necessity these days).
Will Dr. Ho ask you about your job, pets & what your summer vacation plans? Perhaps not, but if you want to get your skin issues addressed with the most up-to-date options & treatments, he is your go-to-guy!
Comment - “ Excellent physician with outstanding patient skills ”
Nothing but good ... while it's never good to need a physician, it's important to have a good one when you need help with a medical situation. Not only does Doctor Cohen and his team provide excellent care, but they do it in a warm, personable and friendly manner.
