All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Total knee replacement
I had a knee replacement and could not have been happier with Dr Kopko. His professionalism, and bed side manner was amazing as well as all the staff that was involved in my care. From the care that I received, I can tell that the outcome of their work matters to them, it is not just a job.They treat you like a person, not a number.It will make recommending SOS, and Dr Kopko specifically, very easy.

Back On My Bike After Hip Replaced @ 65 years old
From start to finish, my experience with SOS and Dr. Kopko's team was exceptional. Dr. Kopko was clear, thorough, and patient during every meeting, always taking the time to answer my questions in a detailed and understandable way. His staff communicated with me every step of the way, ensuring I was well-informed about the preparations for my hip surgery. The level of communication truly made me feel comfortable and well-prepared for what was ahead.On the day of surgery, I was taken care of by Dr. Kopko’s excellent team at the surgery center, and I was ambulatory enough to head home the same day. The combined care from SOS physical therapy and the surgical staff made the recovery process easier, and once again, communication played a crucial role in keeping me on track.I was walking the day of surgery and 4 months post-surgery, I’m fully back into my exercise routine and everyday life. I can even swing my leg over my bike again!I highly recommend Dr. Kevin Kopko and his team!

Highly recommend
After years of suffering with knee pain I finally decided to get the replacement that Dr Kopko suggested. It has been life changing! I wish I hadn’t waited so long. I can’t speak highly enough of Dr Kopko and his staff. They answered every question and concern I had. Great follow up care and support the whole way through! I’m so pleased that I’ve scheduled surgery for my other knee. I can’t speak highly enough of Dr Kopko and his staff.

Right hip replacement
Dr. Kopko explained in great detail why I needed the above mentioned procedure. He ordered the appropriate tests to come to this conclusion as I was initially scheduled for a total knee replacement. So, after I recover from my virtually PAINLESS hip replacement, I will definitely see Dr. Kopko again to surgically replace my left knee!

Choose Dr.Kopko!
Dr Kopko listens, explains, is clear, friendly, honest. I feel good after total left knee and recovery time so much faster and easier than other knee done elsewhere 8 years ago. Did one day surgery. The SOS surgery was efficient and caring. I am so glad I chose Dr Kopko even with a 100 mile drive!At follow-up Nov 30 after X-ray he assured me knee looked great and everything went well!

Absolutely Satisfied x 2!
I have had a knee replacement, and a recent hip replacement with Dr Kopko. Not afraid to admit I am a huge baby, and was scared to death, but when I sat down with him for both procedures, he was very informative, caring and supportive, and actually stayed in his chair, waiting for me to ask more questions! I have only been treated like that before with another SOS doctor, in the course of many other surgeries. Thats why I went right back to him for my hip replacement. And again he has exceeded my expectations and Im doing really well. If you dont pick him the first time, at least give him a shot at a second opinion. And your mind will be changed immediately! Great follow up, great care, great support, leading to a great result!

Dr. Kopko has treated me professionally and with a caring attitude. I had recurring pain in my thigh area in leg with hip replacement. He was concerned and had me try ideas and meet with him 3 times since my actual hip replacement...the best news--i am doing great..no pain and looks like a full recovery. Dr. Kopko was as happy as I am...

The best decision I ever made
After years of agony, pain and struggling with mobility with my right hip, I decided to visit Dr Kopko, He was honest forthcoming, knowledgeable and explained the plan of action. All pre Op. preparations went great. After my operation within two hours I was walking with a walker, and most importantly NO PAIN. This is the first time I walked in a normal way in 7 years. Dr Kopko and the SOS staff from nurses to Physical therapists are unbelievably caring, professional and attentive. They called to check on my progress, follow up appointments were easy and comforting. If you have any doubt regarding a hip joint replacement surgery, please visit Dr. Kopko, I felt as if I was talking to a dear friend. Thank you so much for restoring my quality of life.

Right hip replacement
In all my visits, preop and postop Dr. Kopko gave me honest and accurate information about my condition and options. He was to the point, informative and realistic. He responded to my need for relieve from my pain. He did not promote surgery until he was sure it was the solution and I was ready for it. He made me feel that I was under professional and competent care.

My experience with my left hip replacement ......
To: Dr. Kevin Kopko and Staff: I first must apologize for not remembering everyone's name who took care of me when I had my left hip replaced. I could not have had better care, from having my left leg shaved, to the great care that I received during recovery. Plus, everything in between, which I do not remember. Dr. Kopko did an amazing job at doing the surgery. It has been a great experience, from Mike, the Scheduler, to Tammy, who called to check on me several times after the surgery. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You - one and all! Ken Tedford, Watertown, NY

Highly recommended!
In the past 18 months, Dr Kopko has completed total knee replacement on both my knees. My only regret is that I waited so long to have them done. Dr. Kopko took the time to explain all options and what to expect before and after surgery and during recovery. Pain has been minimal and easily controlled. I credit his skills as a surgeon for the quick recovery and return to normal living!
