I cannot say that I have had surgery by Hector but every time I've been in the office he took a lot of time with me went over everything and even went over everything with my husband I think he's a one of a kind of a doctor with a heart ..If he's been doing this for 28 years I guess I feel OK to let him give a fusion to me and I say OK because everybody's scared And my surgery is going to be very in tents to where they have to have a vascular surgeon .

He said I was ok. I'm so glad I got a second opinion!

I really liked the dr and felt that he took time to study my condition. I've had to wait over an hour for both of my two appointments. This is the only negative I can find so far.

Consulted with several doctors for back pain. Dr HectorHo gave me the wrong diagnosis. Fortunately I didn't go with him and ended up not needing surgery despite the fact that he said that I had to do surgery. i did not trust him and my intuition has always been correct.
