I am a 73-year-old retired physician. Because of increasingly blurred vision, difficulty with bright halos around the headlights of oncoming vehicles when driving at night, and astigmatism, I sought care from Dr. K. Frederick Ho.

After a thorough evaluation (but no pressure for me to have surgery), I chose to have cataract removal with implantation of toric lenses in each eye. I was impressed with the professionalism, kindness, and competence of the staff at all levels and with the cleanliness and appearance of the office and surgical suite. The staff was very accommodating when I needed to reschedule my second operation. Both operations went smoothly, and follow up was timely and careful. When I visited Dr. Ho for my 'final' visit after both eyes were complete, he willingly wrote prescriptions for both reader and computer work eyeglasses at my request. I have no reservations and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ho and his practice for the care provided.

Dr. Michael D. Levine, MD, FACS

Dear Dr. Ho:

I am writing to thank you and your staff for the wonderful care I have received for my complicated eye conditions over the last three years.

Every aspect of my care has been easy, pleasant, and concentrated on defining and treating my very concerning conditions in a sensible and accurate manner.

Because of this my condition is now well understood and controlled. Your excellent staff has been extraordinarily helpful in all aspects of my visits, from scheduling to efficient state of the art in-office testing. (Often previously requiring four hour travel times, and exhausting visits of three to six hours elsewhere).

Some of the items that I have truly appreciated include:

• The ability to be seen urgently when needed.
• Your staff's ability to arrange timely visits with sub specialty consultants.
• The staff's seamless preparation of documents and records for consultant visits.
• Your clear explanation of what was needed for my care and provision of same by one 'captain of the ship' who understood the total picture of needed care.
• Incredibly smooth office visits with superb efficiency and on wasted time.
• How well respected you are by the Bascom Palmer Institutes physicians.

As a long practicing physician I understand the commitment necessary to provide the excellent caliber of care your team consistently delivers and for that I am truly grateful.

With my most humble appreciation for the personalized care and kindness so rare in medicine today, I am,

Most sincerely,
Michael D. Levine, MD, FACS

"Hello Fred,

After so many years of taking good care of my patients, the time had come that my wife and I would personally need your superb expertise.

We were scheduled on time, surgery was prompt, no complications and the result were simply amazing.

For the past 10 years or so, I just kept buying "cheater" glasses, blaming age had really crept in. Lately, there was that "bumble bee" that kept flying on the ceilings. Then there were "ghostly" shadows on the sides of my field of view. The last straw was the appearance of broken tail lights on cars before me. That's when you diagnosed Cataracts and recommended surgery.

I had both eyes done 2 weeks apart now I get to see things like when I was 25 again, within 2 days. I can drive well at night without any worry, I can read my journals for hours and stay abreast with recent medical advances.

Again, Thank you.

On the lighter side, maybe the "visions" seen by the old visionaries may had been real opacities in their lenses interpreted by their brains as real images.

Your patient, friend and colleague,
Pio and Hirfa

"I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the excellent job you did treating my cataracts. Being a doctor of pathology, my eyesight is needed to interpret the tiniest of specimens, so is critically vital to my patients and my practice that I see very clearly.

You and your staff truly provide great medical service to those in need. During my first visit, after a thorough eye exam was completed, you were excellent in explaining the entire process of how the cataract surgery would be performed, as well as what to expect after surgery. Your attention to every detail was really very comforting and reassuring.

Additionally, your staff made sure that all of the arrangements with the surgery center were made, and that my post operative visits were set up. I really appreciated the phone call after surgery from Pam, to check on me.

In closing, I will highly recommend you to anyone in need of ophthalmic surgery or care. Thank you again for everything."

Dr. Harlen C Hunter

"The recent experiences and surgery for cataracts at Dr Ho’s office and surgery center were excellent and appreciated by this “Snowbird” from Indiana. Dr Ho is professional, organized, and busy with an efficient and competent staff which makes a patient comfortable and relaxed."

Margaret L.J.Hayes, M.D.
Board-certified Psychiatrist

"I am still elated and extremely grateful for the excellent work you did in giving me the best vision of my life. I had worn glasses since 7th grade and had severe astigmatism. I had no idea what degree of visual clarity was even possible until you inserted toric lenses during my cataract surgery on both eyes. I had a speedy recovery, absolutely no discomfort, and have remarkable distant vsion. You and your superb staff are to be commended, and I will heatily recommend you to all my friends, colleagues, and patients who find themselves in need of your services. Again, thank you."

Dr. Frank Hayes
Board- Certified Psychiatrist

"Upon my arrival at the Space Coast approximately three years ago, I suffered from ocular hypertension bilaterally, some glaucoma, a trabeculectomy, and bilateral lens replacement. My search for an excellent ophthalmologist ended with Dr Ho. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, considerate, skilled with a mature staff all of whom had gained considerable knowledge from working with Dr. Ho for many years. With what I considered to be the latest equipment for surgery and other medical procedures on the eye as well as a willingness to help his patients get second opinions if he or they want them, Dr. Ho can easily be referred to as the physician’s physician. He is a soft spoken, highly intelligent, non-egotistic gentleman in every sense of the word; but, more than that, he listens to the patients and what they consider an illness. He does not hesitate to refer patients to doctors where they can get the best medical/surgical care for their ailment."

Sara Meadows

"I have been a patient of Dr. Ho’s for over 20 years. During this time I have had multiple exams, bilateral cataract surgery and glaucoma surgery. I have found him to be a true professional at all times who displays both expertise and compassion for his patients.

I highly recommend Dr. Ho for any eye disorders.

My husband Dave and I will continue to be his patients."

Maria Marshall

Sheila Gurr

"I have been going to Dr. Ho for several years. I have always found the staff cheerful and very helpful. My 91 year old mother moved here and became a patient. She appreciated the fact that they took the time to face her to speak and that enuciated clearly since she is hard of hearing. Highly recommended."

Ron Karlin

"The results of cataract surgery exceeded my greatest expectations. If you need or know someone that has blurred vision especially driving at night, Dr. Ho is the person to go to."

Charlotte Stanski Welsh

"Thank you Dr Ho for taking care of my two cataracts. My eyesight is so much better. Everything was very easy with scheduling surgery and working with your staff."

Ed Gorczyca

"Following 2 cataract surgeries performed by Dr. Ho, my vision is spectacular. I no longer need to wear glasses & traded my expensive prescription glasses in for a $10 pair of cool sunglasses. Thanks Dr. Ho!"

Mary Rossi Evans

"Dr. Ho is the best Ophthalmologist I've ever used. I'm in my mid 60's and have a myriad of vision problems; cataracts in both eyes, glaucoma etc. I truly trust Dr. Ho with my eyes. He's so up to date on treatment and equipment. My husband, mother-in-law, sister in law and brother all go to him, due to my recommendations. He's a wonderful doctor. His listens and explains in terms anyone could understand."

Herb Madoff

"I have been a patient of Dr. Ho for several years leading up to the need of cataract surgery. Dr. Ho and his staff were always efficient, pleasant and professional. Upon setting up for cataract surgery, I was more than ever impressed with the thoroughness and proficiency of Dr. Ho and his staff. Every step of the surgery was carefully planned and explained. The surgery was completed to 100% satisfaction. I high recommend Dr. Ho."

Georgia Haridopolos

"I needed cataracts removed. I wanted the best ophthalmic surgeon as I had heard some horror stories. Dr. Ho and his fabulous staff exceeded my expectations. Many thanks to them and their superb care. I see better, farther and clearer now than ever before."

Joan Ryder

"My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Ho's since around 2001. When you go to his office you are helped quickly, all questions are answered, and you never feel pushed or rushed. You will never have an unnecessary wait. The origanization there is unbelieveable. It amazes me that there could be so many truly professional people in one place. My husband has had two cataract surgeries there and also thinks the professionalism there is unmatched. I have just had cataract surgery two days ago and was amazed by Dr. Ho and his staff. Our thanks to all of you...... everyone of you are so special
Dave and Joan Ryder"

Violet Blue-Krome

"First of all let me say, that in my opinion, Dr Ho is THE BEST!

My husband is an executive in lens business(eyewear). He wants only the best for me.

Dr. Ho is professional, is thorough, and explains all the options available. He made me feel comfortable in a difficult situation. The anticipation for the upcoming surgery was daunting. His surgery staff was absolutely fabulous. They made me comfortable not feel a thing. The surgery was as he had assured me.

The next day, WOW! I could see beautifully.

The other eye surgery was the same as the first, except I was not nervous at all.

NOW, my vision is perfect.....no glasses!

Please believe me, he is the BEST!

Thank you Dr Ho"

Biography of Dr. Alan Lovelace

Julia Brooks
Professor of Humanities, Brevard Community College (retired)

"Several years ago I was in my office and got a call from the hospital: my husband, Paul was having tests done to see what was wrong with his eye – one pupil was enlarged to nearly the size of the whole eye! 3 specialists, all ophthalmologists were stumped! Very scary. A new doctor, Dr. Frederick Ho, who just came to town, was called in. He examined Paul thoroughly and then calmly said, “Ah yes, Adie’s Pupil!” No treatment was needed. It gradually shrank and disappeared. We have never been to any one else.

Thank goodness for Dr. Ho. "

Dr. Ho,
I should like to thank you for the outstanding professional service I received from you and your fine staff. You were always available to me in helping me obtain relief from the cataracts in both of my eyes. Your attention to duty, fine cooperation, judgment, and perseverance in assuring that I now have better vision is to be commended. I have recommended you without hesitation and without qualification to all my friends. You are truly the best physician I have ever consulted.

Sincerely,
RRJ

"I suffered from double vision after my car collision. I had eye muscle surgery by Dr. Ho in 1995 and haven't had double vision since."

Colonel Joseph Vivaldi, US Army (retired)

"In late 2006, after a thorough eye examination, Dr. Frederick Ho informed me that I had cataracts. Dr. Ho explained my condition and my alternatives. Based upon his detailed explanation, I decided to have surgery to have the cataracts removed.

Both he and his staff gave me complete information in preparation for my surgery, answering all my questions.

The day of the surgery, I arrived at the appointed time and was pleasantly surprised to find staff that was waiting for me and who demonstrated genuine interest in my case. These true professionals prepared me for the procedure and Dr. Ho came in to reassure me that all was as it should be and answering what few remaining questions I had.

The procedure went seamlessly and Dr. Ho again came in after surgery to give me a report on the results and what I could expect during my recovery. I was on my way home in short order. The next day the protective covering was removed and again Dr. Ho explained how we would proceed since I had decided to have both eyes done. The second surgery came about and I was again attended to by dedicated professionals and all went well.

After the surgeries, I was amazed at the difference in my vision. After wearing prescription glasses for over 40 years, I no longer needed them and my vision was better than it had been in years even with glasses. To this day, almost five years later, I still have not had to return to glasses and my vision is excellent.

I have recommended Dr. Ho and his team of caring professionals to many of my friends and believe that he is the premier surgeon for anyone contemplating any type of eye surgery."

Sister Maureen Cannon

I just had cataract surgery in both eyes and had toric lens. I was frightened about surgery and put it off. Now that it is over I am delighted, very happy with the results and the surgery was not bad at all. I don't know why I worried.

Fr. Stephen W. Easterday, Co-Rector
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church

“Dr. Ho carefully treated the inflammation in my eyes over many months, and when the time was right, he did cataract surgery on both eyes. I am very happy with the result.

Dr. Ho and his staff are friendly, very responsive, and highly skilled. I highly recommend them."

Dr. Ho has been providing my eye care since he opened his Eau Gallie office and now in his beautiful modern facility in Viera. I am greeted warmly by his staff before I am examined in this up-to-date facility by the award-winning doctor. I feel confident that I am getting the best available eye care. I must maintain my eyesight to pursue my photography hobby.

compassionate practice.

Dr. Ho did a fantastic job with my lid surgery and cataract surgery. I have never seen better.

Janet C. Wilson

Friends were visiting from London and were staying in Ormond Beach. We planned to spend the day at the Brevard Zoo.   5-year old Charlie arrived with an eye infection.  Since you are my ophthalmologist, I was most confidant suggesting that we phone you for an appointment.

You and your staff made time for her within the hour.   You examined her, diagnosed the problem and wrote a prescription which quickly cleared the infection.  Charlie doesn’t like anyone getting near her eyes, but her visit to you was without a tear.  Her parents were so relieved to have such wonderful care.

We were able to spend a great day at the Zoo. 

You and your staff are outstanding. 
Thank you so very much.

How wonderful to have found an Ophthalmologist with such an outstanding team. Dr. Ho is a great, caring physician. He has performed Cataract Surgery on each eye, with great success.The team becomes your friends; each are interested in my comfort and outcome.

It is very special to have Dr. Ho and his team caring for me.

Mary Kramer

Lars Chelberg

In 1990 you performed surgery on my eyes to correct a condition of Strabismus. Two previous surgeries from a different surgeon failed to correct this condition. You did such a great job that the initial results were terrific and after 22 years the original outcome is still persisting. For myself and my parents we are very grateful for your excellent work and we will continue to be seeing you for all our families eye needs.
