Dr. Jason Yan-Dah Ho, MD

Welcome to My Home Page!

Background

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, I had my first introduction to the Bay Area when I attended Stanford University for college. At Stanford, I double majored in Biology and Economics and discovered my natural inclination to care for others. This ultimately led me to a career in medicine. Although my training has spanned from Coast to Coast, many of my fondest memories are from college and the Bay Area. I always knew that I would return.

Practice Philosophy

I believe in empowering patients to take an active role in their own medical care. I like to take the time to inform patients of their diagnosis and all of the available treatment options. Working at Kaiser Permanente enables me to devote my time to patient care without worrying about the business aspect of medicine. Treatment is therefore based upon the best interests of the patient without third party pressures.

Professional Practice

I have a general orthopedic practice with a sports …medicine focus. I perform hip, knee, and shoulder replacements, general hand surgery, and trauma surgery.

As one of the former team physicians for the Boston Celtics and the Northeastern University Huskies, I have a special interest in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder, knee, and elbow. This includes ACL reconstructions, meniscal repairs, meniscal transplants, cartilage preserving surgeries of the knee, all-arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, and shoulder stabilization surgery.

Personal Interests

I am an avid Chicago sports fan. As a loyal follower of the Chicago Bears, Cubs, and Bulls, I have been faithful through good times and bad. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, basketball, and volleyball.
