Yes I like the directness and the truth. In these days and times information is power. She was able to explain to me what my x-rays look like and what it means to me so I was able to make a good choice. If I ever need her or should I say when I do need her she will be the person I pick for my surgeon

The handouts pre and post surgery are excellent. She is very clear with her instructions and expectations, you know what to expect. Her staff are excellent. Good communication and responsive.

She is the best she made me feel important and like I matter, I can’t say good things about. I wish all my doctors were as attendant as she is. She really listened to me.

Dr. Matsen made me feel welcome and she is a good listener. She put me at ease and inspires confidence, and had a clear recommendation for my knee arthritis. She explained the problem and what she thought would help. I give her my highest recommendation! Her assistant Venni was friendly and welcoming. She gave me clear instructions. X-ray staff was great, too. Everyone was efficient and organized.

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.
