Dr. How Ha, MD

I had been seeing Dr. Ha for nearly five years since I moved away from DC. She had been very flexible with telemedicine, and I feel very comfortable to discuss with her my concern. When I had a health crisis in July this year. She was very helpful and explained my options and care plan to me and I was able to resolve all the issues eventually. I have no hesitation to recommend her to anyone.

Today was the first time I saw Dr. Ha, as a new patient I found her not to have a very good bedside manner. She is not a good listener, and extremely dismissive. I tried explaining to her my medical history, and the care I've had under a very competent Internal medicine doctor that I've had for over a decade @ NY Presbyterian. She acted as if her opinion counted more, suggesting all these different scenarios of illnesses I might have, and medications I may need, thereafter always saying "that's my opinion" (very sternly). I will not ever see her again. I could not get to my regular doctor during the pandemic, so I visited Dr. Ha primarily for lab work, but after this visit with her, I appreciate my current doctor so much more.

Dr. Ha has been my PCP for over 5 years. She’s an excellent doctor who takes the time to listen, answer questions, and offer explanations. She’s also super sweet. I highly recommend her!

Had to see Dr. Ha while my regular PCP wasn’t available. Her approach was to copy and paste last year’s notes in my chart; she looked at some of the test results and suggested these may be signs of cancer and referred me another specialist, just like this right off the bat! Btw, this “other specialist” I ended up seeing said that the referring physician doesn’t know how to read results of the most primitive urine test...

Dr. Ha was nothing but professional, kind, and extra thorough during our appointment. She had a good sense of humor and put me at ease. I have the utmost confidence in her and her expertise. I find many of the negative reviews on here questionable given my experience with her and other PCP’s in the past. It is hard to find a good PCP and I look forward to being her patient for many years to come.

She’s dismissive and not very responsive on email. My previous PCP left and I got transitioned to Doctor Ha. I’m definitely considering moving to another provider now.

Dr Ha was ok, but at our first appointment today she asked no questions about whether I had concerns, no questions about how I was feeling or what was going on in my health. I came away feeling discouraged and bad about myself.

I've been her patient for two years and plan to change my primary care doctor. Dr Ha is very inexperienced, rude and always manages to overcharge me on my insurance (and I have to have 10% of her charges up to my deductible limit. I don't appreciate being charged $20 for a "stress assessment" and not being told it. Overall worse primary care doc I've been to.

Thoughtful, informative appraisal and review of previous medical record; appropriate recommendation for further specialist consultation
