★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Horrible doctor to go to. Never ever consider seeing him if you have a mental health condition or struggles.
He doesn't empathise, doesn't explain his diagnosis and asks his patients to search things up themselves on WebMD.
He's harsh and impatient with his patients. He lashed out at my mother and caused her to have a breakdown. As a psychiatrist, people come to you for help when they're down. You are supposed to help them, not break them down further. He suggested for me to be checked into a psych ward for simply not following his advice. This is not acceptable.
Seeing other experiences and reviews from other people, it seems that I am not alone. Dr Brian Ho is a horrible doctor that shouldn't be allowed to practice psychiatry. Patients who see him will only be worse off. Look for another doctor, trust me.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My daughter was suffering from eating disorder and I took her to Dr Brian to seek his advice. Not 3 minutes into taking her history, and without asking any questions, he told my daughter that she has to go on the medication, Prozac. It was like he already decided that it was medication or nothing. As a parent, I questioned him in the alacrity of his decision in dispensing Prozac, almost like a one-size-fits-all kind of attitude. He told us that if we do not want to take medication, he can't treat my daughter. For that mere 7 minutes, we were slapped with a RM350+ bill.
Yesterday, we came to Singapore to seek treatment for my daughter. The psychiatrist she saw was really so much more professional and caring. She took my daughter's history for close to an hour, asking so many questions. Then she asked me into the consultation room and gave us a few options of treatment, of which, only one was taking medication, and even then, she gave us 3 choices of medicines. With each choices of the medication, she concisely briefed us through the side-effects. After that, she discussed the non-medication options as well. Then, she told us to go home and discuss the few options given and revert to her the following visit. The best part was that the lengthy and detailed session, with a doctor who was oozing with concern and care, only cost SGD140 (RM424).
I had initially given Dr Brian a one-star rating without any comments but after visiting the psychiatrist in Singapore yesterday, I had to share my experience with anyone who need help for the similar condition. Don't let any psychiatrist bully you into thinking that medication is the only way out.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Used to be a decent psychiatrist when I saw him in
2017 but took a bad turn in 2018
In general, Dr Brian is quite passive and content to wait for you to bring up your issues and is never very interested in patients(forgets your case and never checks case notes)
but he was street smart in terms of providing advice at managing a mental disorder at the workplace, which is not always easy to find.
Good guidance with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as well.
And he is savvy at conveying to family members if they are part of the problem(he offers to talk to them and he is effective)
But after a year of seeing him, I felt we were just going round in circles- probably due to said passiveness and CBT never progressing beyond a behavioral journal.
Thus I ended the therapy around 2018.
However I recommended a friend to see him soon after, and they reported that Dr Brian Ho looked a shambles being unshaven and with messy hair
And he sounded utterly disinterested in mannerism and speech
Yet during this first visit without much interaction he also made a snap judgement that my friend had a serious hereditary mental disorder.
Just off one very basic test and family history(only one distant aunt with the same condition iirc).
As he proceeded to recommend medication with strong side effects, this seemed a very rushed and hasty diagnosis. Moreover, his bedside manner left one very doubtful of his focus and abilities to make such a call.
I can only hope that Dr Brian was just undergoing a tough time at the time and is doing better these days as it was still a decent experience to have seen him back in the day.
