Not at all professional. Do not see him. His PA is a half wit. I drove across the stare for a preop appointment to see Claudia and she was lazy regarding viewing my chart and had no idea as to why I was needing a rotator cuff repair on my right shoulder. I had to direct her to view my MRI. After reading it she laughed and told me well looks like your just going to need to reschedule your surgery, because I have just decided to take some time off right before your surgery. Not recommended to send anyone else to Dr. koo. Night... read more

Dr. Koo did a reverse shoulder replacement on me in March. My pain is virtually gone, and my mobility is to the point where I will be resuming golf, I hope, in about six weeks. Shoulder surgery requires surgical skill for sure, and a patient that will work at recovery. Dr. Koo is really excellent, but part of his team that is vital is the PA, Claudia Kotay, who not only assisted in the surgery, but has done all the follow up appointments. She knows her stuff, and communicates effectively. Dr. Koo does not believe in keeping ... read more

Having had a 2 hour operation rather than a 1 hour operation my shoulder was in worse shape than I realized! I cannot thank Dr Koo and Claudia enough for helping me so much with decisions pre and post op. After 8 months I am not 100% yet but so grateful to be on the path to full recovery thanks to their help, and thanks to the rest of the staff at ProOrtho.

My rotator cuff had gotten increasingly more painful. I could no longer do push ups and would wake up at night with pain. After surgery and a couple of months healing I'm feeling great and I can do push ups again. Dr. Koo and his physician assistant Dr. Claudia were always professional and honest. They never pushed the surgery option on me, I came to that conclusion myself. Thanks!

I rate Dr. Samuel Koo, his PAC Claudia and his NP Gemma with 5 stars. They are a top-notch team. They ask good questions; they are good listeners and they provided direct and detailed information. I felt very confident in them and trusting them to take care of my shoulders. Over the course of 3 years I had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders. My experience with this team was consistent throughout. I especially liked that they prescreen physical therapists to work with their patients. The physical therapist Diane Janshen a... read more

I am really happy to give Dr. Koo 5 stars. I came to Dr. Koo for a very painful case of adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder). I saw him after being seen by supposedly the very top (3) docs at the UW Sports Medicine clinic. I should mention that all 3 at the UW brushed me off with codeine to help me sleep at night but told me it would take 2 years to heal and just get used to it. Totally 180 degree difference with Dr. Koo. Through his care I received hydrostatic distention treatment in addition to my physical therapy. By the... read more

Dr. Koo was extremely professional and explained my shoulder procedure. I've recommended several friends to him. His Physician Assistant, Claudia Kotay is likewise very professional and knowledgeable with great interpersonal skills. Both Dr. Koo and Claudia receive my highest ranking and regard!
