Excellent surgical expertise. Excellent bedside manner, engaging, great information, especially with non-templated answers —meaning each answer is highly relevant, fitting my specific context. I appreciate her balance of technical quality and style of caring.

From check in with Kelly, to Ms Vinni, MA, Aman in X-ray & Dr Matsen - all touch points were excellent and efficient.
Dr Matsen was very thorough and patient in explaining my arthritic conditions and recommending a care plan.
I will be scheduling knee replacement with Dr. Matsen ASAP :)

She strives to give each of her patients highly personalized treatment, just as she would want for a member of her own family. She has two years of advanced training in minimally invasive anterior total hip replacement, total knee replacement, revision total hip and knee replacement and fracture care. She is dedicated to getting her patients back to the activities they enjoy.
Born and raised in Seattle, Dr. Matsen Ko was excited to bring her medical and surgical training back to Seattle to join her husband, Dr. Kevin Ko, in practice with Orthopedic Physician Associates. In her free time when she’s not helping patients it is likely that she’ll be enjoying the outdoors with her new son, extended family and friends. She particularly enjoys running, cycling, mountain climbing and backcountry skiing.
