Dr. Matsen Ko was referred to me by a very dear friend who also had his hip replaced. When I first met Dr Laura I appreciated her honesty, bluntness and took the time and had the patience to answer all my questions - ridiculous and sincere ones! I needed to have a full replacement due to arthritis. I felt VERY comfortable the day of surgery and confident that I was in good hands. I'm an active 46 year old and this was my first surgery - ever. Her entire team made me feel comfortable and at ease. Every person I have met on her team from lovely Rhianna to the guy who gave me my anesthetic - were very kind and genuine.She takes her job very seriously and is damn good at what she does. I love my scar and SOOOO impressed with her work and efficiency. May be crazy to love a scar, but hey, I'm bionic now and her work is flawless.If you're searching for an ortho surgeon, don't look any further than Dr. Matsen Ko and her team!
