The best, not my 1st orthopedic surgery, but, by far 1 of the best surgeons I've had. For knee replacement surgery, I would definitely come back to Dr. Matsen.

Everything has gone great so far. Given it's never going to be fun getting your hip replaced. Also, I really appreciate Dr. Matsen Ko being patient with endless questions. As an engineer, I feel the need to understand every aspect of the procedure and implant.

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.

She particularly enjoys running, cycling, mountain climbing and backcountry skiing.
