Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Um…DUH!!
I had a DBS implanted a few years back for my Epilepsy. I was hesitant at first to even have the surgery. Dr. Ko met with me twice before I decided to go through with it. He & his team were polite, kind & answered any questions I had. He is very meticulous during surgery (as I was told multiple times), which I truly believe is something every surgeon should be for their patient. I came to out of post-op quickly & not in much pain.A year later, I had to have my DBS & my VNS replaced - without any hesitation, I requested him. Both scars healed nicely & the VNS scar healed 3 days faster than it did when it was originally implanted.

Great doctor
I have a baclofen pump for cerebral palsy and my regular hospital doesn't have surgeons to manage them anymore, so my neurologist sent me to Dr Ko. She said I would like working with him and his team, and she was right. He was excellent to work with. Answered all of my questions, gave me both pros and cons of my situation, and it was clear he knew what he was talking about. I left with contact info for the rest of his team and everyone was fabulous. We did end up moving forward with a pump replacement and the whole experience was great. Thanks Dr Ko and team!
