Dr. Ko is very thorough and she listens. I sometimes wish she’d take more time though to think over what I say and offer some diagnostic guidance. It’s hard to express what I mean. Plus, I come in for a checkup with a full page of issues to discuss so naturally we need to keep things efficient. She may not be the best match for me as a PCP but I like her and am not ready to change. She’s very outwardly friendly and is supportive in terms of referrals. Sorry I can’t write more clearly about my experience of her as a patient. Maybe time will improve that. I recognize that PCPs are in high demand and that their time may be easily abused by needy patients.

This is my first time seeing Dr. Ko and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Ko took the time to answer all the questions I had and shared her knowledge regarding perimenopause which is what I am currently going through. She has great bedside manner, is patient and compassionate, exactly what a patient looks for in a doctor.
