Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

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

He has been my dr since a valley fever outbreak in my city… I have been seeing him for everything since that day… he is more than my doctor… he treats me as a friend..

Good specialist, bad time management
I've consulted Dr. Ko as lung specialist a number of times. My impression is he is good physician. However, I always had to wait to see him a long time, one hour or more. (A "medical emergency"can't always be the reason...) I think he has a very bad time management.

If office hours are until 5:00 p.m., then I shouldn't get an after-hours voice mail system when I call - even if it is 4:55 p.m.

The girls in the office are a bunch of liars saying they sent my information to Advanced Sleep Medicine several times which they never did. I called the office several times and they kept on lying to me. I would never go back to that office and I told my Family Doctor what happened and I hope she does not send any patients to that office and have them suffer the same fate I did. I went to another Pulmonologist and everything was taken care of quickly and in a very professional manner. One star for the doctor, the girls in the office should be fired.
