This pain practice has been a real blessing for my mother as she deals with cancer in her spine. The staff have been gentle, patient, and very supportive throughout her care. Dr. Ho is especially compassionate and takes time to really listen, which we didn't always experience with other pain specialists we tried. He is thorough but also efficient during follow-up visits, and he helped significantly reduce her pain with steroid injections when medications alone were not enough. Walking in before the appointment, my mom could not sit up and had to lay down on the waiting room couch. After the procedure, my mom has been able to walk short distances without her cane. We are very grateful for the care she has received here. read more

Malak, Nathan and Dr Ho get better with every visit. I get amazing results from this place. I highly recommend it. read more

See all

It's quite impressive to list their experience in medicine as anything to be impressed by. I doubt they have ever been a chief medical officer of HOAG, Cedar Sinai, UCLA, Stanford, USC, or multiple at Mayo Clinic Florida. So to deny visitation that was pre approved only able to state they won't prescribe medication but without reason as to why would mean they can't provide any other form of expertise in pain management so I guess thank god I didn't ask for an injection or they'd likely have me right into paralysis. Office staff were the most unprofessional I've encountered and hey the more patients dead, the more money from the government paid to not follow an oath to practice what they claim. It's pathetic to know they lied to get this profession read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. If your pain issues are the result of an accident, be aware that this doctor will only see you if you sign a medical lien. That lien allows him to bill you whatever amount he chooses at the end of your settlement. After consulting with an attorney, we were advised to proceed by billing our insurance directly. When we called the office to explain that we wanted to move forward without signing a lien, we were told the doctor would not see my husband unless the lien was signed -- even though it had already been determined that treatment was needed. It's very disappointing to see that getting paid at higher, non-negotiated rates seems to be a higher priority than helping patients who genuinely need care. So much for serving the community and putting patients first. read more

I want to give thanks to Dr. Joseph HO for always looking out for my mother Brenda, because of his amazing care, attention we got to find out a serious health condition my mother has been dealing with. We have gone to other places and no one ever told us what was wrong with my mother. But thank GOD that he put him on our way! Forever grateful for you! Anyone looking for Pain doctor don't hesitate to come here with DR. JOSEPH HO. read more

Update: We just wanted to update and say that my mom has been seeing Dr. Ho consistently for treatment has been feeling a lot better since seeing him. We are so lucky to have someone so professional and extremely caring towards his patients. It is hard to find a healthcare provider like that. We are wishing him & his staff a Merry Christmas. Thank you! read more

Dr. Joseph Ho is very patient and highly skilled. The prescription and steroid injections greatly relieved my mom's pain. I highly recommend Dr. Ho to anyone seeking effective pain management. read more

This doctor soooo minimized my pain, tried to tell me it was due to alcoholic neuropathy, just because I was honest about my past? F this dude, I've had LEGIT arthritis in my neck, mfer tried to say it wasn't, the pain, due to arthritis? As I type this, f, should be talk texting, just switched, but was due to my alcohol abuse. Which no doubt, I own that shit, but it's in no way responsible for the pain. I'm feeling right now. Dude didn't prescribe anything for me, Just said to double up on the Neurontin that I was already prescribed, which did absolutely nothing to manage my pain. If you get referred here, and you do want to have your pain taken seriously, do not I repeat do not go to Premier Pain Management . They aren't Premier and they don't manage pain read more

Dr Ho himself is amazing as a doctor, but the office stuff is short, nasty and rude. They also think it's OK to leave someone in pain for over a month that is not allowed to take any pain meds. I would have to wait a total of two months before I would get another injection that might, or might not help with my pain. I can only take ibuprofen to help me with 4 herniated discs. There is absolutely no sense of urgency or caring about the pain that their patients are in. Not much for Pain Management if you can't help manage someone's pain. read more

Dr Kwok helped me get my life back. Out of chronic pain! Finally lower back pain free. I'm a believer in epidural injections.

Dr. Ho and his team have been amazing. Absolutely amazing. They did an amazing job for my father. He was having difficulty standing and/or walking. Dr. Ho's team did an absolutely great job injecting him with an epidural injection and he has been on his feet and walking ever since. Since the first injection, we have gone back once more for another injection which has helped tremendously. His practice is top-notch and the results were unbelievable. The visits have been very convenient during COVID-19. Dr. Ho has saved my life. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Dr. Joseph Ho is a great doctor. Dr. Ho is patient, kind, and a good listener. I never felt rushed and he allowed me to express my medical concerns. My insurance company was having difficulty approving my MRI, but thanks to Dr. Ho and his staff I was able to get an approval from the insurance company. Thanks to Dr. Ho, I was finally able to get a proper diagnosis for my back pain. Thank you Dr. Ho and Pain Consultant staff for all your help. read more

Dr. Ho Is the best! He is extremely knowledgeable and cares about you and makes you feel so welcome.

I would highly recommend coming here and giving it a try. read more

Dr. Ho and the Premier Painter Consultants team are fantastic! They helped me tremendously with my carpal tunnel pain. I had been suffering from the pain for months, and it was really starting to interfere with my daily life. The fingers on my right hand were completely numb and I couldn't type, cook, or even play with my kids without feeling pain shooting down my wrist. I tried acupuncture for a few months before I saw Dr. Ho, but it just was not helping me. Dr. Ho took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly examine my hands and wrists. He explained everything to me and we decided to go with steroid injections for my treatment. I was literally feeling better that same day! I am now pain-free and and have already regained the feeling back in all but one finger. I would highly recommend Dr. Ho to anyone who is suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome! read more

Have been seeing Dr Kwok for 21/2 months waiting for left hip replacement scheduled for October 25. Also waiting for right hip replacement with the left knee replacement not to far off. Also major L4-7 problems with my back with another painful problem he saw with an X-ray. He had barely given me Tylenol w codeine even though I repeatedly told him it wasn't cutting the pain knowing of the other issues I had. It's like he didn't care what the MRIs showed. A week before my surgery he got the new X-ray on my lower back & he prescribed 70 Hydrocodone. After the surgery the Hydrocodone were not working just keeping me up at night & causing constipation YaY. He finally called me back & explaining that he couldn't order anything else as I still had the worthless Hydrocodone. He prescribed another pill For sleeping Trazodone that doesn't put me to sleep YaY. My PT shows up today told her how miserable I was she says she will call as I was up 3 times last night took 3 Hydrocodone & 1 sleeping pill & was still in pain & hadn't slept. YaY. PT talked to assistant & haven't heard anything back. Assistant told PT well he has an appointment on November 17th! Thanks for being so concerned about me & my health & well being. He goes from giving me Tylenol w codeine having to go to his office weekly to giving me 70 Hydrocodone That Do Not Work! Thanks for Nothing! read more

Thanks to Dr. Ho, I can finally sleep without pain! Having a back problem (disc degeneration, sciatica, spinal stenosis, arthritis in the spine, you name it) is no fun for anyone who goes through it. I thought I could manage it and I have put up with the pain for many years. It was starting to disrupt my quality of life , especially my sleep. After my treatment yesterday with Dr. Hi, I was able to finally sleep like a baby without the nerve pain and numbing. His staff are all exceptional and friendly. If you're suffering from pain, do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Ho. You will not find a more friendly, empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional pain management doctor. We joke around and say we might be related due to our same last names, but we're not, and I was just lucky enough to have found the best doctor to treat my and my mom's pain. read more

I'm seeing a lot of 5 stars, which made me raise an eyebrow almost instantly. The staff is very polite, very professional, busy, but welcoming. Wish the doc would be as communicative as everyone in the reviews is saying though. Dr. Kwok seems to always be in a rush whenever I go in to see him, the visit is always very brief. I know this might be wrong of me to assume but, I feel that my age (26) is causing a bit of questioning in terms of how I'm treated there. Part of that assumption stems from all these 5 stars reviews. Dr. Kwok walks into the room, reads off the chart, tells u his plan, leaves. No questions asked, by either side, one side didn't get to say anything, the other side didn't have time to listen. If all the lower reviews match what I'm saying then, something needs to change and it is not the patient. read more

Dr. Kwok solved my pain with one injection when another Dr. said only surgery would fix. I have gone back hoping he could solve another larger issue and it unfortunately requires surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Kwok, he is patient, listens and is kind. Thank you! read more

Dr Kwok has to be the worst Dr Ever. His Bedside manners are Terrible! He recommend that I get a Surgery to alleviate my Back Pain. He assured me this would remove almost all of my Pain! Wrong. It Doubled! So his suggestion on dealing with the additional pain was to take 4-8 Advil pills Per Day? His attitude was always rough and abrasive, And most of his staff follows suite. they are not very friendly, They always seem to be in a bad mood. Glad to have moved on to find a new Dr. that is sympathetic to a Patents Issues and needs. read more

Dr.Ho is my primary pain doctor over a year. I am really happy to meet him. Because he always trying to understand patient's standing and listening very carefully. As you know, my English is not good. Anyway, he knows what's the problem exactly. I've got one shot my entire period. That means he is the right person about pain. I highly recommend him, if you have a lower back pain. He is awesome and perfect doctor. read more

Dr. Joseph Ho is SO CARING and just all around amazing. The way he takes time to really listen. You can tell that he is totally and completely engaged as if you are the only person in the world. I have seen him twice and was just absolutely blown away. He's never pushy. But instead offers you every option and makes sure that you're completely satisfied. It is so rare to come across such a compassionate, respectful, and humble doctor. I am honestly so lucky to have found him. Thank you so so much! read more

I'm glad my GP referred me to Dr. Ho. He's a great doctor, really listens to you, shows care, and comes up with a good plan that best meets your needs. I also appreciate how he thoroughly explains procedures before you have them and walks you through it when it's taking place. I highly recommend him as a pain management doctor. His staff are also great with their customer service and professionalism, and show courtesy and care as well. read more

TOP NOTCH DOCTORS! hands down Dr. Ho gets 5 stars. I recently was diagnosed with a severe condition of Cervical Radiculopathy and was in extreme pain, but I was fortunate enough to get referred from Dr. Ali to Premier Pain Consultants. Dr. Ho's bedside manner was top notch, he showed such compassion and was eager to get me well as soon as possible. I had two Spinal Epidural Injections and feel amazing now. I feel blessed that he was able to treat me and am so grateful. Side note ; he has a great sense of humor too ;) laughter is medicine. I've also started Acupuncture at his office and I believe that has helped me as well. Natalie read more

My doctor referred me to Dr. Ho to help manage my pain. My pain was so bad that I couldn't sleep at night. I didn't know what to expect on my visit and during Covid. Dr. Ho and his staff was friendly and kept me at ease. After my visit, the staff called and checked on me to see how I was feeling. I would recommend Dr. Ho to my friends and family. Thanks for a pleasant experience. read more

Absolutely recommend Dr. Kwok . Attention to detail like I have never experienced. It's not only that-he remembers everything about me which makes me feel safe in his care. I was in so much pain a few times that I had to call in-between appointments, and the staff called Dr Kwok and took care of me THAT DAY. I was amazed at the level of care. Thank you Dr Kwok you have improved my quality of life!!!!!!!!! read more

I have a rare chronic illness that causes me so much pain I cannot live alone or do much more than simply bedrest. Because I am in a lot of constant pain, I began looking for a Pain Management Doctor. After reading the positive reviews for Dr. Ho, I decided to make an appointment with him. After the most frustrating week-long, back and forth fax issue (Dr. Ho's fax machine was broken), my mother finally made an appointment for me (I'm unable to do much). Immediately, without meeting me or knowing my illness or my pain level, etc., Dr. Ho says that he is only willing to give me the lowest dose of pain medication possible. I am currently out of my mind, nearly delusional with pain. I've been in and out of ER's not knowing what to do. However, even more confusing to me is, how a doctor could know what dosage of pain medication is appropriate for a patient he's never met and has never spoken to. I've noticed recently doctors care much more about money than patients -- hippocratic oath be damned. This is very clearly the case here with Dr. Ho. I've never been diagnosed or prescribed medication without meeting a doctor and am not interested in being treated by one who cares only about his immediate liability rather than the welfare -- the LIFE -- of a patient. read more

This review is for Dr. Ho. My mother has had back pain for a long time. It only took 1 visit to see Dr. Ho, and he immediately was able to find out what was wrong. He gave her options and explained them clearly to her. She was prescribed some pain med, and after about a month now, she does not have any pains anymore. Dr. Ho is a very caring person; he never rushed her through the appointment to go to the next patient. He also asked about the family and showed that he really cares. I definitely recommend him to anyone that I know. read more

Dr. Ho helped treat my mother's severe neck pain and she credits him with taking a precise approach in identifying the diagnosis and core issues, and the possible treatment options. He is communicative in explaining all of the above and is patient in answering all questions. read more

I can't say more great things about this medical facility and their staff and Dr. Joseph Ho. The wait time to see the doctor is 5-10 minutes from the time you walk in, plus with covid they offer a lot of virtual visits. The office staff is very friendly and proficient. The medication he recommended has been great in reducing the pain. I was able to get an MRI fairly quickly and rule out other causes. Overall great experience and happy to be a patient there! Highly recommend! read more

Due to an auto accident in 2013 I was left with a pretty messed up back, and a really large disc herniation at L5-S1. For 5ish years I hadn't experienced any pain, but for reasons unbeknownst to me came rushing in 11/2017. I tried most conservative treatments: chiropractic care, acupuncture, physical therapy, spinal decompression. Nothing was helping - honestly I couldn't even sit. Opted for an epidural, and chose Dr. Ho as my doctor. My epidural was about exactly 1 week ago, and I can't believe the difference in pain. I was taking 3600-4000mg of gabapentin per day. I was swallowing any pain killer I could find, and nothing has taken away my pain the epidural. I can defenitely still feel the pinch, and I do have the pain running down my leg. My my pain went from a debilitating 7/8 regularly to a 2/3 more regularly. The pain relief would have been good enough, but I am also a giant baby. I walked into the surgery center, they asked me to change and I started bawling. IV line in; bawling. I was so hopeful for the pain relief and so scared it may not work I couldn't control my emotions. The nurses, the doctors, Dr. Ho - EVERYONE treated me like their sister or their daughter. I will be forever thankful for Dr. Ho and his staff. I will definitely be returning. read more

Great! I've been a patient for a couple years now getting epidurals for chronic back pain. It is effortless and painless. Usually I'm in and out in less than 30 minutes. Both doctors and staff are wonderful. I usually see Dr. Ho but have seen Dr. Kwok for an emergency when Dr. Ho was not in the office. They are both kind and caring with genuine concern for relieving my pain. I can't give the staff enough praise. If I call on a Friday afternoon at 4:45 with a question or concern. They will respond before they go home. They are always prompt to answer the phone and rarely if ever have I been put on hold for a length of time. If they say they will call me back they always do so the same day. It's wonderful! They are friendly and extremely reliable. I love it! Just look at all the great reviews! They are well deserved. read more

I just saw Dr. Ho today and I would like to say that he's a great doctor that he took more than enough time to examine me, ask many questions, answer all my questions, went back and forth to check the medical records I have from my previous provider and he even joked with us and of course I recommend him to anyone who looks for a knowledgeable and caring doctor read more

I have been suffering with chronic back & neck pain, due to a car accident, since 2010. After years of regular doctors trying to treat my problems with medication, I was finally referred to Premier Pain Consultants for help. From the start, I was welcomed by a warm and caring staff. I have worked with both Dr. Kwok and Dr. Ho, who are by far the best doctors I have ever had in my life. They did not just throw medication at the problem. Instead, we have worked together for years to find alternate solutions for my pain management. Since I started seeing these doctors, my quality of life has dramatically improved. I'm taking less medication, and have utilized several different treatment options to help with long term pain control. I could not possibly say enough wonderful things about either of these doctors. I love them both, and will continue my loyalty to these doctors for years to come. read more
