Hello; my initials are A.P. from Essex County, NJ. It would be very remiss of me not to tell you about my experiences with Dr. Ko, after reading some negative and unfair reviews about this wonderful human being. I had been battling Hep C, and Cirrhosis of the liver for about 10 years, and I had been seeing another doctor during this time; He was the one who recommended I find an Infectious Disease Specialist for both Hep C, as well as an ongoing battle with Cellulitis. That's when I found Dr. Ko. My biggest fear was Liver Cancer, which many times follows Cirrhosis. Fast forward to Feb.,2015 when I was Hospitalized for Cellulitis in both legs....Dr. Ko was right there, and with his knowledge and treatments, I was home in 4 days. About 4 weeks later, I was back in Dr. Ko's office for a follow-up visit. During this visit he had a concerned look on his face; some of the blood work came back looking suspicious. Mind you, during this visit while I was talking to him, he was reading something and seemed like he was not paying attention to me.....NOTHING could have been farther from the truth. He looked up at me and asked me if I would be able to have a CAT Scan that same day. He said something was wrong with my "numbers"....Long story short, thanks to Dr. Ko's wisdom and diligence, HE discovered that I had Hepato-Cellular Carcinoma....LIVER CANCER !!!...It was caught in an early stage. Dr. Ko was also able to eradicate the Hep-C from my body; The Hep-C is now "Undetectable" in my blood, and we expect that the Cirrhosis should halt it's progress soon, if it hasn't already...(testing now). As for the Liver Cancer, my precious wife, (whom is my caregiver), and I travel on a regular basis to Philly, (PA), to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America for my cancer treatments which include Chemo without Radiology....my progress and prognosis are better that expected.
THE bottom line is; God saved me and healed me, along with Dr. Ko's diligence and experience!! As a result, Dr. Ko is now my Primary Care Physician, as well as my specialist. He speaks to us with respect and in laymen's terms. We recently discovered that Dr. Ko is also a man of Faith, devoting precious time to missions, taking medical supplies and treating people in developing, and impoverished nations......OF ALL RACES!!!!! Oh, by the way, of the many times Dr. Ko has drawn my blood, and given me I.V. treatments in his office, he has ALWAYS, 100% of the time gotten my vein, without me feeling so much as a tiny pinch.
We strongly recommend Dr. Ko, if you are looking for a new Dr., or need a Specialist. DON'T be fooled by the new office/practice; Dr. Ko is a soft-spoken family man, with wonderful manners. Give him a try...you WON'T be sorry. Remember, "There is NO substitute for experience", and that's what Dr. Ko brings to his practice, and to his patients.
