Patient Reviews
Mar 30, 2023
Five years ago my hubby went in for his first colonoscopy with Dr. Ko., turned out he had colon cancer. Dr. Ko was very informative, scheduled the surgery and successfully removed about 12 “ and ALL of the cancer. We were blessed, no chemo or radiation needed. He healed quickly and had 3 follow up colonoscopies over the next 2 years to make sure all continued to be well, all with Dr. Ko . He is a wonderful surgeon. He has a dry sense of humor, so does my hubby, they got on well. He is straight forward, does not push unnecessary medications. I would put my life in his hands without hesitation. In fact I just did. Had my second colonoscopy yesterday, first was another rude uninformative doctor 11 years ago. This experience , if you can say a colonoscopy experience is pleasant, well this was excellent. Dr. Ko personally makes followup calls to be sure we are doing well and answers all questions. We would and have recommended him to all family and friends. Thank you Dr. Ko.
