I’ve recommended Dr Kho to a few friends. 1 was able to be under his care. The other had to pick another due to Dr Kho being full

He's got a great new haircut. He's also easy to talk with and appears well-versed in current research and thought-trends. He also trusts that you have some idea of what is going on in your own body. No God Complex doctor here - (like one so often sees at Northwestern) - he's a real person and gives sound medical advice. He's also not afraid of gay people and is willing to take the time to understand both the behavior and health concerns of a homosexual. Can you say that about all your doctors??? No - you know you can't! 10's across the board. 5 stars!
