DR ANDREW HOU

I've been with Dr. Andrew Hou for several years and he is very attentive and gives me instant recommendations and treatment.

The staff and Dr Hau were very friendly and efficient. I am just waiting for the date of my medical procedure.

Dr. Hou listens and cares about me as a patient. He explains what he is going to implement to alleviate the pain that I was feeling in my hip and back. He did that. I recommend Dr. Hou for his professionalism and expertise in his field.

The whole staff at this clinic is very professional. Doctor Hou took his time explaining to me the results of my MRI and the treatment to follow.

Dr. Hou is very professional, Confident and knowledgeable

For the last 5 years Dr Hou has kept me out of pain with minimal intervention and generous PT authorizations. He is caring, patient, amiable and efficient.

I was scheduled today for a procedure at Fremont Surgery Center with my orthopedic specialist. Dr Andrew Hau. When I arrived at the surgery center, I was checked in as I walked in the door. The assistants were respectful and efficient, I went to the preparation area and within 20 minutes I was being wheeled to the procedure room because my doctor was ahead of schedule and I got my procedure done. I was so pleased to go home sooner than normal. Thank you to my Dr Andrew Hau. I am now pain free.

I have seen Dr Hou several times over the last 3 years… he is awesome… listens, explains everything so I understand it.. recommend him highly..

I have been seeing Dr Hou for many years to treat my neck pain. Every time I visit him for treatment, he was not only patiently willing to listen to my problems, but also willing to take time to explain what may be causing the pain and advise an option of treatment presumably best suited for the patient. Last time I saw him was to get an r.f. ablation treatment at a surgery center. Thanks to the treatment, I feel better now that has been nagging me for years. Glen Park

Dr. Hou takes the time to hear you describe your issues. He explains and describes in great detail what’s happening and then proposes a solution. Very happy to be in his care!

Dr. Hou is kind, compassionate, and highly skilled.

Efficient. Timely. Runs tests as needed. Listens. Cares. Recommend highly.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hou for at least five years. He has helped me manage my pain all of this time and this has saved me from surgery. He is knowledgeable, competent, gentle and kind. He got to the source of my pain and is cautious about pain medication. This is important to me because I don’t want to be over medicated nor do I want to be addicted. He is a good listener and is patient in a compassionate way. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Hou is professional and friendly. He explained my condition to me clearly in detail, and answered all my questions patiently. l felt that he is the doctor l can trust. l highly recommend him.

This is Jeff Kass, not Tracy Kass. Dr Hou changed my life. For years I struggled with severe neck and shoulder pain. I tried physical therapy, pain relief patches, triple point shots etc all to little or no avail. Then a friend referred me to Dr Hou. He diagnosed the problem exactly and explained it to me clearly. He has given me a few precisely located epidurals widely spaced in time that have kept me pain free for 5 years.

Dr. Hou is currently treating a pinched nerve in my neck with the utmost care and comprehensive professionalism. He is very easy to talk to, listens to your concerns, and explains the issues in an easily understood manner. I highly recommend Dr. Hou!

Thanks to Dr. Peatman I have been Dr. Hou's patient approximately 4+ years and have received the best of care from him and his staff...he listens to my issues and gives me his analysis and recommendations...so happy to have him as my provider

Dr. Hou, is a very good doctor he very patient with you. Meaning that he goes over everything that’s going on with you and what he’s going to do. When he’s done you fully understand everything. During my procedure he made sure I was comfortable. GREAT Doctor and his nurse Selena is excellent and very professional.

I am currently being treated by Dr. Hou. First, he truly does have the best bedside manners I have ever seen. Second, he takes all the time in the world to explain the issue, your options, and answer all your questions. Lastly, this doc knows his stuff. He's super competent and will try to do whatever is necessary to get you healed without surgery. He's easily one of the best doctors I have been treated by.  Thank you Dr. Hou!

I am writing this review on behalf of my 80 year old mother who is a patient of Dr. Hou. She is so excited to leave this review for him. “I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hou. He is an expert in his field. He explains everything and truly cares about finding a solution to pain. He cares about the whole person, physically and emotionally; it’s apparent in his patient bed-side manner.. He is also personable; it's really easy to talk to him. I had been experiencing excruciating lower back pain that was shooting down both legs causing weakness in my legs. He very quickly diagnosed me with inflammation and set me up for a noninvasive outpatient procedure at a surgery center. The pain subsided almost immediately. By my follow-up appointment, I was 75% pain free. Now, just 3 months after my procedure, I am completely pain free!! My pain is GONE. Dr. Hou and his staff are efficient and nice. I highly recommend Dr. Hou!”

I have never written a Yelp review for a physician before but felt compelled to based on my recent visits with Dr. Hou.  He is a wonderful doctor, extremely knowledgable and patient as he responded to all of my inquiries.  More often than not, doctors overbook and seemed rushed when they finally enter the exam room.  This is not the case with Dr. Hou. I have seen him a few times for a variety of ailments and he always takes his time.  I had an epidural with Dr. Hou several weeks ago and my neck is significantly better after that injection.  He does not push for procedures that aren't necessary if he feels rest or physical therapy will help remedy the situation.

I have been with Dr. Hou for 2 years with bulged disks L 3/4 L 4/5 with severe nerve pain down my leg. Went with cortisone injection worked for about 60 days went again worked for 90 days went again worked for 6 months went again has lasted 9 months and I feel great. between the first few injections I felt there was no hope it was never going to get better. He told me to be patient it would and it has. I am a low hdcp golfer and this has made it that I can golf as much as I want and picked up club head speed. His assistant is AMAZING! He always listened to me and gave me options and I can't be more happy and thankful. Sent him 2 referrals of friends with same situation and he helped them in the same manner and they are both feeling great. Thanks Dr. Hou!

I have been a patient of Dr. Hou's for three years. I was referred to him by my family doctor for neck pain which I have had off and on for five years. I'm happy to say that I'm now pain free and feel like I'm in my 30s again. He's one of the most kind and caring doctors I've ever met. His assistant, I think her name is Candace?, was also very kind and helpful.

Dr. Hou is a wonderful caring doctor. I wish all the doctors I see have his warm bedside manner. He takes his time listening to your problems and just makes you feel comfortable. I feel blessed I am under his care. R Troyer 11/19/17

Dr. Hou is a very patient man. Answers all your questions and you are never rushed out until you are completely satisfied. Great bedside manner, caring and a kind gentle man. He will get a lot of referrals from me.

Thanks to Dr. Hou, my elderly mom is able to walk and enjoy her days without impacting, nagging pain. Besides providing a quality effective treatment plan, his approach is caring, he is easy to talk with,understanding and supportive. He explains exam and test details in a clear manner and very importantly...he really listens to his patient's input. My mother and I are grateful to Dr. Hou for her pain management of back issues.

It doesn't get much better than Dr. Hou! I followed Dr. Hou from his old practice to his new practice. I've been a patient for almost three years and there simply aren't enough words to adequately express my gratitude for the care and compassion he's shown me. I've found him very knowledgeable in his specialty and yet able and more than willing to explain a diagnosis or treatment in basic terms without being condescending. I've never felt rushed during an appointment and have never left with an unanswered question. One of the best things about Dr. Hou is his bedside manner. He always made sure I was comfortable and you can tell that he cares about his patients' well being. He took the time to understand how the pain was affecting my daily life and his goal was to get me back to doing the things I love - running and karate. I'm in the trucking industry, so I do spend a lot of my time sitting in a truck on my routes. Thanks to Dr. Hou and his excellent care, not to mention the great staff that works with him, I am not limited by any low back pain at all anymore. In fact, I will be testing for my black belt in a few weeks! 5 stars for sure!

I have been going to Dr. Hou for two years and followed him to Webster Orthopedics. He is very attentive, a good listener and explains everything thoroughly. I highly recommend him !! He has greatly helped my back pain !!

I followed Dr. Hou from his previous practice. After being told by my previous Orthopedist that, "there is nothing I can do for you except put a rod down your back and it will take a year to recover," my primary care doctor and Physical Therapist recommended Dr. Hou. My lucky day! Dr. Hou ordered an MRI and gave me a spinal injection directly into the nerve that was causing the pain. Pain gone! Amazing! Dr. Hou listens and looks you in the eye as he explains everything possible to relieve your pain. I highly recommend him. His staff is very helpful and follows through with getting back to you.

I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Hou today. I'm still pain free and now able to do yoga at the gym and have been walking 2 miles almost every day. He is amazing and so kind - everything you look for in a doctor!

Dr. Hou is simply the best in every way! My family physician recommended Dr. Hou and I am so glad I took his advice. I have had terrible back and hip pain for years. I couldn't walk more than a block without sitting and resting. Dr. Hou got me back on my feet. I am almost as good as new. He is kind and sympathetic. I've been to see other surgeons and pain management physicians who talk at me but not to me. He has the best bedside manner. I wouldn't hesitate to send my family or friends to see him!

I also followed Dr. Hou from his old practice at Tri-Valley Orthopedics to Webster Orthopedics. When I first visited him at Tri-Valley, I had a very serious sciatic nerve issue. My primary care doctor and a pain specialist did not have what I needed for pain management. As soon as I connected with Dr. Hou, I felt that we were on a team to take care of my specific problem. That is why I followed him to Webster. We have accomplished our goal, through a series of medications, procedures, and physical therapy. I have complete confidence in Dr. Hou. His focus on patient care is his forte, and he does it very well.

Dr. Hou was recommended to me by another physician. I am so glad I took his advice and scheduled an appointment with him. I have suffered for a long time with knee and back pain, after three procedures I am almost as good as new and that says a lot when you are 82 years old. He is kind and sympathetic, never rushes you and is professional through and through. I took half a dozen of his cards home and am distributing them among friends I know he could help. I question the one who wrote a negative review on this wonderful professional doctor. Sounds fishy to me.

I went to Dr. Hou because I had a pinched nerve in my lower back, the pain was awful, I couldn't sit, stand or walk without pain, after seeing Dr. Hou and the treatment he did and physical therapy, the pain was gone. He is an excellent doctor, he is kind and caring and spends quality time with you to help you get better. He cares about his patients, its about getting you healthy again, unlike some doctors today who run you through the office like cattle he actually takes the time to talk with you and help you. I highly recommend him to anyone with back or neck problems, he's a wonderful doctor.

Dr. Hou has treated me for lower back problems with a shot and it has been wonderful! I have been able to return to walking up to 5 miles without pain or distress. He is now helping me with a neck issue in the disc and he is very easy to talk with and his competence and manner leave me with a high level of trust along with being pain free! I highly recommend him.
