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.

Janet Ko is the top person I trust with my deliveries now that I've had three c-sections and still want more kids. She knows how to handle complicated pregnancies, multiple c-sections, and so much more!

We could not have been luckier to work with Dr. Ko through pregnancy, delivery, and post. The care, time, and detail she provided was thorough and compassionate.

I have no experience with Dr. Ko other than attempting, repeatedly, to schedule an appointment. Every time I call I'm told she isn't making appointments yet. That would be fine if I were arranging to have my living room painted, but this is a visit to a doctor. Unfortunately, Dr. Ko was recommended to me by my primary doctor. I will have to go elsewhere to some doctor I pick off the Internet.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ko?
I called in November 2020 to get an appointment with Dr. Ko for January 2021. I was told to call back in the beginning of December because her schedule for January was not posted. I called back, and was given, or so I was told, an appointment with Dr. Ko in January. When I arrived, I was told the appointment was actually with a midwife and not Dr. Ko. The receptionist did not know when Dr. Ko would be available. Perhaps the next time I came, in a year! I can't blame the receptionist, she seemed to be working with the information she was given. However, I felt like I was intentionally deceived a kind of bait ans switch. How can I trust a doctor that uses such scheduling practices? Dr Ko's bio may say she's accepting new patients, but in fact she is scheduling new patients with the midwife. This is really pretty rude. If you are considering Dr Ko, be aware that this may happen to you.
