About Me

Elliot Ho, DO, is an assistant professor of medicine and an interventional pulmonologist at City of Hope® Cancer Center Duarte, where he provides critical care founded on a team-based, compassionate philosophy that combines advanced treatment with patient education.

Dr. Ho earned his medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California. He then completed his internal medicine residency at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center in Sylmar, California, followed by a pulmonary and critical care fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco, Fresno Medical Center. His advanced training in interventional pulmonology took place at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

Board-certified in both internal medicine and pulmonary medicine, Dr. Ho was inspired to dedicate his career to lung cancer after witnessing his grandfather’s fight with the disease. In addition to caring for patients, he has published more than 20 scholarly papers and has taken on leadership roles that have helped bring innovative clinical programs such as robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, pleuroscopy and bronchoscopic lung volume reduction to more patients across the state and beyond.

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
