Dr. Matsen Ko is the best doctor I have seen in my 70 years. Not only is she an excellent surgeon, but she advocates for her patients. I was not getting adequate PT therapy and she located another facility near to me and encouraged them to accept me as a patient. My recovery is now moving forward at an accelerated pace thanks to her intercession. She is the best ever.

Dr. Matsen Ko is outstanding. She is thorough in both her questioning/assessing and in her explanations/ answers. She is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic and attentive.
