Laura J. Matsen Ko's Online Review Report Card

Had a total R knee replacement in November 2020 that was a result of an old ACL injury, cartilage damage & resulting osteoarthritis. So happy with results. Dr. Matson-Ko is a fantastic surgeon with up-to-date knowledge, and care which includes the mind-body connection. Hoo-ray! She and her team are so responsive with incredible & timely performance! Love these guys and my new knee. P.S. she’s also a champion bicycle racer so she fully understands sports injuries & performance.

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!

5 Star Plus Doctor!

3+ years after two TKA's, I am thinner, fitter, happier than I've been in twenty years! Talking to many friends who have had pain and complications after their surgeries, I have to hold my tongue when I want to remind them that I did suggest they see Dr Matsen-Ko.

Dr Laura Matsen Ko is the best! I had a TKR in Nov and am so happy I finally did it! I am back to doing all activities, including my profession of jumping horses!, Unfortunately my other knee is now the issue. I will be seeing Dr Matsen Ko again for her to replace my other knee. I cannot wait to be back on the mend and in the saddle again! So many thanks to the wonderful Dr Matsen Ko, see you soon:)

Dr. Matsen Ko performed my complete knee replacement surgery this past summer, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! She is a great surgeon as well as an excellent care provider; she answered all of my questions thoroughly before and after my surgery, and she is kind and easy to talk with. She came highly recommended to me from several people in the medical community, and now I know from experience that there is no one else I would go to for knee surgery and I highly recommend her!

I am thrilled that after six months, I was able to do everything I could do before my hip needed to be replaced! I am truly back to normal, and I can’t thank Dr. Matsen- Ko enough!! It’s now been 1 year and half post surgery, and I hike, run, walk miles and i’m pain free.

So excited to see these reviews and have an appointment with another female orthopedic surgeon. An appointment with a joint specialist that I had waited a month and a half for was cancelled today when I showed up for the appointment because they don't take my new insurance (was referred by my awesome ortho Dr. Mia Hagen at UW when I had Apple Health). I specifically bought this policy because said surgeon was listed as in network. Don't know what happened but he doesn't accept. I can't believe how quickly I get to see her (Oct 2nd) after diagnostic arthroscopy in June revealed bone on bone, severe OA in left knee. Just my experience on the phone with her office today has been jumping (wait, I can't jump right now, I can barley walk :-( ) for joy and excited at the hope of having a pain free, quality of life again!

I am eight weeks post operative after a successful (I think!) knee replacement surgery by Dr. Matsen Ko. I appreciated Dr. Matsen Ko's patience throughout my preparation time for this surgery. She answered my questions thoughtfully and competently so that I felt well-prepared for my procedure. She listened to my outcome desires and encouraged me toward high expectations. My surgery proceeded as expected, and Dr. Matsen Ko's plan for my recovery was realistic for me and easy to follow. She made herself available for answering questions and concerns that might arise before my 2 week post op check, and I found her assistant prompt and thorough in returning calls. The physical therapy specialists with whom I have worked since my surgery have been impressed with the appearance of my scar (or lack of appearance!!), and all have marveled at how quickly my range of motion is returning. They have been most complimentary of Dr. Matsen Ko and seem to feel that my progress can be largely attributed to a very successful surgery and post-surgery plan. Although my knee will be periodically stiff for awhile, I can walk without a limp and without pain for most of the day . Thank you, Dr. Matsen Ko!
