5.0 star star star star starTakes his time and listens. Great care and professionalism. Would have been nice if he would have come to see me after surgery instead of just his resident surgeon. I understand that he is busy, but not directly seeing me until my second visit after surgery was a little impersonal.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Ko is an extremely skilled surgeon. His pragmatic approach led to results that have exceeded my expectations. I've been able to wear normal shoes now with some regularity, and I have good, well founded hopes for my future walking due to these foot surgeries. I would recommend him to anyone!

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
