Dr. Dong Ko

My first impression of Dr. Ko was good. I like the treatment plan at this point and I will be happy if future visits follow this pattern as I felt like he knew what he was talking about, agreed with his decisions and I felt like I was included in the decision making.

Just like every other pain management doctor out there, wants to give you shots as many shots as your insurance allows, in an unsterile environment, he gives you for 5 minutes or less every visit, if you take too long he will tell you there's plenty other patients he has to deal with. Make sure you do your homework, the Department of Justice fined him and his cronies for allegations of Medicare fraud and non trained employees performing procedures.

Dr. Ko has treated me for many years for chronic pain. He is the type of doctor that will listen to your concerns and discuss all treatment options with you. He is a very compassionate man and makes you feel like you are the only one that matters while he is with you.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ko for almost two years. In that time he has effectively treated me for the chronic pain I have been experiencing in my neck and shoulders. I’ve had two surgeries on my left shoulder. One, which was done poorly by a local orthopedic surgeon and a second one to correct the first one, but it left me with the chronic pain. Because of the first surgery I’ve been very hesitant to do anything about my other shoulder or my neck. Dr. Ko has helped me in dealing with all of my pain and not by simply prescribing pain meds. Dr. Ko has given me injections which have alleviated some of my pain. He also removed one of the opiate medications that was prescribed by a previous doctor. He takes his time and talks to me at my appointments and discusses any possible options to my treatment. I have the utmost respect for Dr. Ko and to a person who doesn’t trust very many doctors, he has my full trust. I have been a patient of Dr. Ko for almost two years.

U think that he is very compassionate and truly tried to relieve ur pain n has tried all ki D's of methods then just pain pills. I have had phsyi Al therapy, spine injections??nerve block, and the newest surgery for scar tissue removal. He is a true healer n I would recommend him to any one looking for pain relief

He is not a good doctor and I have reported him to the Pennsylvania Medical Association

Saw Dr. Ko for over a year. It was not a good experience. Moved back to PA from AZ last year & I was on oxycodone which gave me Some pain Relief at the dose i was on. The first thing he did was decrease my meds by one third. After a few months he decreased them to half what I had been taking. I am in constant pain at a level 7 on this dose. He continually wants me to get injections. I got on e set from him with absolutely no pain relief. Ive told him over the years since Ive been diagnosed with degenerative bone disease Ive tried injections at least 20 times with no relief. Not to mention my insurance has large co pays for them. I’m a registered nurse & I have always been fully compliant with my meds. Never took more than I should, but he continued to treat me like aj drug seeker. Ive found another pain doc & i can only say good riddance Ko!

i have seen him for over a year. i first found him for my wife and he worked miracles for her so after two failed lower spine surgeries i decided to try his practice. he treats you like a human, listens and reviews your past treatments. now with the meds and the injections he has my pain under control. my wife and i highly giving his practice a try.

Kind, knowledgeable pain Doctor. He is very competent and and his Marshall’s Creek office staff are very helpful.

He is such a wonderful and compassionate doctor. I have severe neck and muscular problems and he’s always kind . I have already and will continue to recommend him to others.

Dr. Ko is very professional and you can tell he really cares about his patients. Speaking as a retired Pharmacist I must say you can't teach compassion at Med. school, and Dr. Ko and the entire staff was very kind to me...and I appreciate that.

Dr. Ko is the nicest and Most Caring Dr I have ever had the fortune to come accress after my injury. I don't know of any other Pain specialist who actually take the time to listen carefully and come up with a plan to help my situaton. After I had lost my insurance because of a labor dispute he was more than willing to work with me and help bring the costs down. He gave me all the samples he could get his hands on. A VERY NICE PERSON!!! Dr. Ko is the nicest and Most Caring Dr I have ever had the fortune to come accress after my injury.

I've seen many doctors since I got sick a few years ago. My illnesses are invisible and cause me a lot of pain. I just turned 25 and almost every doctor I talk with about pain just assumes I'm faking for drugs. It got so bad that even the ER wouldn't treat me. Pain management was my last resort and I was so scared but never once did I feel judged. I'm not sure what I expected but Dr. Ko surpassed it. I wish I'd had more time with him but other than that, I am truly thankful.

I been patient of Dr Ko for years. Lately Dr Ko has seemed angry/annoyed with his job.Pain has been worsethe past few months. Repeated visits informing doctor of pain level increase resulting in a poorer quality of life.He has treated me like a pill junkie would not let me speak. I have always been medication compliant, been on same meds & doses for over 3 years. I am not asking for anything but help manage my pain better. He does not seem to care & just wants more $pushing expensive injections!

Dr. Ko is The most understanding and compassionate doctor I have ever had in referance to my injury and pain. Wait I'll take that back, He is the best Dr. I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, PERIOD. He takes the time to listen to me, askes how I am doing mentally as well as phsically. He is very understanding as far as I had lost my job and insurance. He did everything possible to give me samples and picked out the least expensive medicine possible. The ABSOLUTE BEST.

Dr Ko has been a wonderful Dr for me. He is very friendly, has a great bedside manner. I have seen other drs for my back issues and he is the only one that TRUELY has listened and helped.
