About Louisa Ho, MD
Louisa Ho, MD, a nephrologist at Endeavor Health, brings a collaborative and analytical approach to kidney care. With a strong foundation in both science and patient communication, she works closely with individuals to identify underlying causes of kidney disease and craft personalized treatment plans. Dr. Ho integrates lab analysis, imaging and patient history into a problem-solving model, helping patients understand their options and take an active role in their health decisions.
My endeavor
My endeavor is to provide the best care possible so that each patient leaves feeling informed, empowered and supported in improving their quality of life.
Care philosophy
I focus on engaging the patient and communicating clearly about their care. Understanding the problem through labs, imaging and history is only half the work—the other half is helping the patient and their family understand what I’m thinking, what the options are and how we can move forward together. If someone doesn’t want to follow a treatment plan, I want to know why and work through that with them.
