I've been seeing Dr. Ho regularly for about two years as my primary care physician for an ongoing…read moremedical treatment that requires consistent monitoring and follow-up. Over that time, my blood work and treatment results were generally positive, and from a clinical standpoint things were going well. That said, there were a few issues that became frustrating over time. Even when visits were only to review routine lab results, Dr. Ho refused to do phone or virtual appointments. I often waited 30+ minutes in the lobby, drove through traffic both ways, and then had a 10-15 minute conversation that easily could have been handled remotely. The bigger problem came recently when my insurance changed from UnitedHealthcare to Cigna after more than seven years. I proactively called the office to update my information and was told they do not accept Cigna. No real explanation was given beyond "we're not set up with them." I then offered to pay cash and handle reimbursement myself through my insurance, which would have required no extra work from their office. That was also declined, simply because I technically have insurance -- insurance they don't accept. At that point it became clear the office no longer wanted me as a patient. For someone in the middle of long-term treatment, this was extremely frustrating and disruptive. Between the rigid appointment policies and the refusal to work with either my new insurance or a self-pay option, I've decided to find a new primary care doctor. Very disappointing experience after being a loyal patient for two years.

What could be more frustrating than feeling unheard or unsupported by your own doctor--especially…read morewhen you're trying to advocate for your health? After my original primary care doctor opted out of the medical group associated with my insurance, I decided to find a new PCP. I chose Dr. Ho based on many positive reviews and was hopeful I'd receive attentive and thoughtful care. Unfortunately, that hasn't been my experience. I scheduled my annual checkup, and the appointment was relatively easy to make--easier than with my previous doctor. During the visit, Dr. Ho took time to go over my family medical history and current concerns, spending nearly an hour explaining various medical terms. While thorough, it felt more like he was showcasing his medical knowledge rather than truly listening or showing empathy. I mentioned a specific concern--a small lump near my uterus--and requested an ultrasound. Dr. Ho dismissed it at first, saying if there were a tumor or cyst, I would not be able to feel it clearly from my skin. Thankfully, he still agreed to send me for an ultrasound and gave me a referral to an OBGYN for further evaluation. However, things quickly went downhill from there. The ultrasound referral had my last name spelled incorrectly. I'm still unsure whether that error came from Dr. Ho's office or the medical group. I also never received the referral letter to the OBGYN. When I called the office multiple times to follow up, the front desk staff was impatient and quick to blame the medical group for the name mix-up and the missing referral. I contacted the medical group myself--they corrected my name but told me Dr. Ho's office never submitted the OBGYN referral. I decided to move forward with the ultrasound anyway. That's when things got even more frustrating. The ultrasound technician informed me the referral was only for an abdominal ultrasound, not a pelvic/uterine one. As a non-native English speaker, I had assumed the referral covered the area I was concerned about. Instead, I ended up with a scan of everything except what I asked for. When I called Dr. Ho's office to clarify, the staff insisted that the abdominal ultrasound was "sufficient" and told me to speak to the OBGYN about uterine concerns--again, the referral I never got. After more back and forth, they said they'd resubmit the referral. Two weeks later, I still hadn't received anything, but I was able to get the referral number from the medical group. When I finally tried to book an appointment with the OBGYN, their office told me the referral was only for a pap smear, not for evaluating my actual concerns. On the same day, Dr. Ho's office called to discuss my ultrasound results. I asked again about the proper referral, and the front desk staff responded dismissively, saying it was the OBGYN's responsibility now--or that I should just come in to talk to Dr. Ho again. At this point, I'd had enough. I shouldn't have to fight this hard for basic coordination of care. I don't feel heard, cared for, or respected--not by Dr. Ho, and certainly not by his staff. I've decided to switch primary doctors. No one should have to chase down referrals, correct clerical mistakes themselves, or beg for appropriate testing--especially when it comes to something as important as your reproductive health.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Patel and my experience with testosterone pellet therapy…read more The insertion process was surprisingly easy--there was absolutely no pain during the procedure. It was a little uncomfortable for about a week afterward, but nothing difficult to manage, and after that I didn't even notice it was there. By the second week, I started seeing real improvements. My sleep dramatically improved, which was the first major change I noticed. Shortly after that, my libido returned--something I honestly thought was gone for good. I've also experienced a noticeable boost in energy and much clearer thinking, with the mental fog I used to struggle with significantly improving. Dr. Patel has been incredibly attentive and thorough throughout the entire process. She closely monitors my progress and makes sure every question or concern I have is addressed. I always feel heard, supported, and well cared for. Her nurse is also wonderful--so kind, attentive, and helpful, which makes every visit even more pleasant. The office environment itself deserves a mention too. It's incredibly welcoming and has such a peaceful, almost zen-like atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. Dr. Patel and her team are truly the best, and I'm so grateful for the positive impact this treatment has had on my health and quality of life.

She's helped me get to the bottom of several health issues and is always incredibly fast at seeing me if anything ever arises. Her dedication to helping the body with not only medicine if needed, but with mind body awareness is something I think is so important because she treats you specifically as to what you need for your entire well being. She and Estrella make you feel so seen and really ease your mind when you are going through stuff. I have always had medical anxiety and they put me at such ease....and of course seeing Violet the wonder dog helps too as dogs always help me stay calm and comforted! I never feel anxious when I go to Heart of Bodhi, between their concern and calm energy and the soothing atmosphere of the practice, I feel absolutely safe and relaxed. Dr. Patel really cares and is so thorough! I have autoimmune stuff and she has been such an integral part of my feeling healthier! I can't recommend her enough. I've seen so many doctors for various things in my life and can say without question that she is the first doctor who has been there for me and made me feel so incredibly seen and cared for. She doesn't cut corners or brush things off, she take you very seriously and helps you get to the bottom of whatever is going on with precision, care and a medical and wholistic approach that I appreciate beyond measure. She and Estrella and Violet are Incredible and I feel beyond blessed to have them in my corner!!

I found out my normal healthcare center i always go to does not provide covid shots so i searched…read moreon myturn.ca.gov for a local facility to obtain one. This clinic caught my eye since it was close and the reviews were great. I called and confirmed they took my HMO card before scheduling a same day appointment. The person on the phone was nice and provided all the information i needed and confirmed my insurance will cover it free. I went to the facility and they greeted me walking in and sign in was a breeze. I did had to fill out a first time patient form but i skipped the SSN and explained to her since i have insurance i shouldn't require it so she helped me skip that and once i was done; i waited like 5 minutes and i was let in by a girl named Leslie who gave me my covid shot. In another 3 minutes then i was out. She was very friendly and helpful. I was happy with my visit and plan to come back whenever i need any medical needs from them!

I waited at this clinic for 30 minutes just for them to verify my insurance. My insurance had been…read moreused earlier the same morning without any issues, but by the afternoon they claimed they couldn't verify it. After half an hour, they told me I'd need to pay an extra consultation fee of about $100, which I found completely unreasonable. I told them I wouldn't pay that fee and decided to leave. The front desk staff didn't even look up at me or acknowledge what I said; they basically ignored me until I repeated that I was leaving. Only then did they say, "Oh, I heard you." The whole experience felt extremely rude, and I think their system is really flawed. It was a total waste of my time, especially since I rushed over during rush hour. I definitely won't be coming back and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone else. Additionally, when I tried to book the appointment online, they required me to enter my Social Security number just to process the appointment. If I didn't provide it, the appointment couldn't be completed. That's very unusual, as many clinics don't ask for a Social Security number at all. When I called to ask them to remove it, they said they didn't even have it on file. Overall, this place was a waste of my time and I wouldn't trust them again. Let me respond firmly to the points you raised. First, when I booked my appointment online, I was required to upload my ID and my insurance card in advance. The entire purpose of that should have been to verify my information before I arrived. It makes no sense that after I got to your clinic, you then spent a large amount of time re-verifying what I had already provided. This shows that your front desk staff is unfamiliar with your own procedures. In fact, after she confirmed with your manager, she admitted all she needed was the policyholder's name and birthdate--something that should not have taken 20 minutes if she had been properly trained. If you require uploads of ID and insurance cards, then verification should happen before the patient arrives--not after. Second, the claim that your front desk thought I was on the phone is nonsense. I told her twice that I was leaving and she ignored me. The third time I asked if she heard me, she finally looked up and said, "I heard you." That means she was deliberately ignoring me all along. It's extremely rude and unprofessional to pretend not to hear a patient who is speaking directly to you. Third, it is now December. If it were January, I might understand a deductible. But by the end of the year, it's impossible that I would have a deductible left. I had just used my insurance that morning with no issue. Your system is clearly at fault here, not my insurance. Also, requiring a Social Security number just to make an appointment is not acceptable. You cannot force patients to provide an SSN just to book a visit. Finally, I will not be spending any more time clarifying these issues or responding further. I wrote this review so that others looking for a clinic can see my genuine experience and decide for themselves.
