Ronald C Koe, MD

I had shoulder surgery 20 days ago and I love, love, love Dr. Koe. I had a torn labrum, bones spurs, torn bicep tendon and minor tears in my rotator cuff. I’m a 54 year old active female with no known injury but rather many years of overuse. Dr. Koe is an excellent doctor; he is knowledgable and explained everything to me. I never felt rushed and he inspires trust. His office staff is also great. I never wait more than 15 minutes in his waiting room. I may need my other shoulder done and I will definitely have him do it.

Dr. Koe was perfectly fine but his office staff are incompetent. I asked for my surgery to be sent to my insurance company for the OK. That never happened because the scheduler didn’t listen to a word I said once I asked for an estimate of the copay. So apparently all they did was find out what the copay was. When I called my insurance for an update on the approval they said it had never been submitted. So I called Dr. Koe’s office to get a mixed up story of them «leaving me a voicemail» OR I said no because of the copay amount. They couldn’t accurately tell me which was which. The truth is neither because they never called me at all. So at best they lied to me and at worst they gave my medical information and decision making to a wrong number with no verification they were talking to the right person. (fun fact, my personal information was stolen about that time, I wonder how that happened) I then demanded they do a proper follow up with me on the phone to get it all scheduled and fax me all pre-​surgery needs and the copay amount and they STILL didn’t do a damn thing to verify they were talking to who I claimed to be. They then couldn’t give me any surgery scheduling information other than it has to be a Friday, after 10AM. I can’t schedule an actual time, I just get scheduled for some Friday and then have to sit there all day until they decide it’s my turn.
Complete joke.

I had shoulder surgery 9 days ago. Dr Koe is an excellent surgeon. I have to have surgery on other shoulder and he will do that one also. I feel blessed to have found such an awesome orthopedic surgeon Office staff is A+. I just moved here and had no referral from another dr so had to rely on Unilocal.Good job Unilocal

Dr. Koe is an awesome orthopedic surgeon and recommended by many of the medical professionals I know and work with. He has performed surgery on both my husband and father in law and both had great results. I’m currently seeing him for workers comp and I’m confident that I’m receiving quality care. If you need an ortho go see Dr. Koe

My husband recently had surgery done by Dr. Koe. He was wonderful. He arranged for my husband to have surgery sooner then expected so my husband to return to work by end of summer. Dr. Koe’s office staff was great every time we went to his office. I would recommended him without hesitation. We were extremely happy with service provided.

Came here after a botched healing process from another Vegas ortho. I had a pretty bad patella break that was still not healed 9 months later.
My GP referred me to him after having his own knee worked on by Dr. Koe.
The staff here is wonderful! The ladies that work in the front and assist Dr. Koe in the back office are so nice, patient, and friendly. I had recently switched insurance companies before coming here, and they were quick to help me with the transition and getting all my correct approvals.
Dr. Koe is great as well. He diagnosed a lot of other damage that was missed by my previous ortho and sat with me to thoroughly go over the MRI and X-​Rays. He also helped me a lot with my pain management regiment. My previous ortho just tried to load me with pills, which is neither safe nor effective. Dr. Koe gave me far better options that did not entail pill popping. He’s also very nice, sympathetic, and funny, which makes such a huge difference to someone in pain.
I will continue going to see him for my patella fracture. I have the utmost faith that he will do a fantastic job if I do need surgery. Another review to follow if that is the case.

My knee replacement in 2011 by Dr. Koe was described by another specialist as the «worst surgery I have ever seen». I had to get the knee replacement done over again 6 months after the original surgery with extensive reconstructive titanium rods put in my legs.

If you are looking for quality care, Dr. Koe is your guy. I spent months looking for a surgeon to do my shoulder surgery. I had met Dr. Koe 6 years ago when I had dislocated my shoulder. I did not do the surgery back then and found myself 6 years later with another dislocation and decided I had better do the recommended surgery. I had a few Dr. s highly recommended to me but none of them made me feel as comfortable as Dr. Koe. When I returned to his office for my consult, his staff was very friendly and I had a minimal wait. He took the time to explain my options, what he was going to do and what to expect. He personally called me the following Monday to check on me and when I went for my first post op, had pictures of my surgery showing me the damage and how he repaired it. I’m very impressed with Dr. Koe and his staff.
