I had a very positive experience with this provider. The only issue i had was with the delivery of my after surgery recovery brace but that was through a third party. Doctor Koss was very thorough in his explanation of my injury, expectations for surgery and rehab. I would recommend them to anyone!
“Dr. Koss was quick to identify my injury upon my first visit. Surgery and recovery went very smoothly considering the severity of my injury.”

I have seen him for years followed him from practices before. He listens to my concerns and is willing to fix the problem with my joints.He has put in a new knee this time and I am 1 year post surgery and loving my new life style. Best thing i ever did was get this replacement.
“He is the best”

So glad that I saw Dr. Koss for this matter. I was told by another surgeon that the Rotator Cuff was "Too Torn to Repair" and he sent me on my way. Dr. Koss, however, was able to repair it successfully. Very thankful and happy that I was able to have him do the surgery!
“Very impressive...everything went very well!”

Dr. Koss went through a thorough process of treating my knee for several years with various methods. Once they no longer provided relief, he recommended a partial knee replacement. That went smoothly and I have had less pain and more range of activities.

This orthopedic group has been excellent. If by provider is meant health care group, at this point everything has been covered. It's early to tell that all has been paid for by my health care plan, but it appears to have been comprehensive.

From diagnosis to post op my experience with Dr. Koss was exceptional. I was impressed with the genuine and thoughtful care that I received not only from him, but his staff as well, Rotator cuff surgery is tough - and at times the recovery was painful and frustrating, however I felt that Dr.Koss and his staff were patient and positive during each phase of my recovery.

Dr Koss replaced my right knee years ago, so when I started having pain in my left knee, I went to see him. He diagnosed a torn meniscus and recommended surgery. I came to the surgery center in Sparta and had amazing care. I have problem veins and when I described the issues, the nurse putting in the IV listened - adjusted her plan and got it in the first time. They have a heater system that plugs into your gown - keeping you warm and toasty. They used it in surgery and post-op and I never got that shocky feeling I usually have being so cold, especially following surgery. Dr Koss told me I would be able to walk out after surgery and he was right. Course I was on pain meds and after they wore off, the swelling needed icing and meds to be comfortable. But a week post-op, I'm walking more freely and am improving daily. I got my summer back thanks to Dr Koss. He listens, he's responsive and he cares about your progress.
