Philip Ho, MD

Dr. Philip Ho, ear, nose and throat specialist, enjoys all aspects of his career. On the patient side, he likes improving people’s lives as he helps them get well. He has seen that seemingly small episodes — like placing tubes in a child's ear to allow her to hear again or removing tonsils to allow for quality (and quiet!) sleep — has a profound impact on individuals and families.

On the medical side, Dr. Ho finds great satisfaction in diagnosing medical issues and correcting them in the operating room. He credits his good outcomes and happy patients to his listening and communication skills. He’s a natural teacher who relates patient concerns to the real world.

He admires the nurses, doctors and staff of El Camino Health where all do their best to make the patient experience great. They treat people like family members, not case numbers. The doctors all pitch in to help each other on complex cases, so patients get the quality, compassionate and educational care they deserve.
