Love Dr. Ko! Wish I could have my husband go to her but she doesn’t accept new patients unfortunately! She’s the best!

Dr. Ko is The BEST! She is knowledgeable in so many areas of medicine, Western medicine as well as others such as Eastern therapies. She is able to explain her diagnosis clearly and then goes on to give prognoses that are, simply available, meaning they can be reached by any late person. In my particular case, I am quite familiar with different therapies as well so we are able to have quite a beneficial conversation about my challenges and dealing with them and a positive manner. There's simply isn't enough space here to say so much more that I would like to say about her, just know that she is unique, has probably sacrificed an enormous amount to be able to encompass so many areas of medicine and therapies, and I, and I'm sure as well as other patients could not appreciate that more!
