It was my first appointment with Dr. Ko, and I thought she was wonderful. She really helped me understand what was going on with my knee, and her advice has helped tremendously -- to the point where I am now pain-free.

I run a Primary Care Concierge Membership Service and Dr. Ko is a specialist that I often will refer to as a Primary Ortho.She is excellent in her knowledge & care. A+.

Dr. Ko took the time to explain my condition and was able to treat the issue with my trigger fingers. She calmly explained very clearly what she was going to perform on my fingers. Everything went smoothly and painlessly. I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Dr. Ko.
Providence Patient
Dr. Ko was very personable and easy to talk to regarding my issues. She asked pertinent questions and answered my questions thoroughly. She treated the severe arthritis on both my thumbs (which previously had imaging). After examining my knees, which had been painful for a period of time, she immediately referred me for x-rays. I'm very pleased with the care Dr. Ko has provided and feel confident I'm in very good hands.
Providence Patient
Good. Asked me to call in 3 days to see if any progress and less pain.
