      Samuel S. Koo, MD, a board-certified orthopedic physician and surgeon specializing in minimally invasive arthroscopic shoulder surgery, complex open shoulder surgery, trauma, and fracture care. He also performs platelet-rich plasma therapy. He is an authority on treating shoulder problems to help patients resume an active lifestyle as quickly as possible.Dr. Koo has trained with Dr. Stephen Burkhart, the world’s foremost expert in minimally invasive shoulder surgery. He also has a clinical interest in total and reverse total shoulder replacement, large to massive rotator cuff tears, complex labral tears, bone grafts for chronic instability, and revision arthroscopic shoulder surgery.Dr. Koo believes all surgeons must have two essential qualities: integrity and empathy. To him, integrity means treating each patient as if he were caring for his wife or children. Family is important to him. He believes that integrity means offering the highest quality of care available. He is an expert in arthroscopic (minimally invasive) shoulder surgery, but he will not recommend surgery unless all non-operative solutions have been explored and exhausted. The shoulder is an extremely fascinating joint with lots of moving parts. As such, injuries are common and often complex. Over the last few years, there have been dramatic improvements in the way shoulder pathology is treated. Orthopedic surgeons are now able to perform most shoulder surgeries using arthroscopic techniques (small incisions) that are at least as good, if not better than, the open (larger incisions) procedures of the past.He has trained with the world’s experts in minimally invasive shoulder surgery, so the care and technical expertise his patients receive is cutting-edge and based on the best available research for various shoulder ailments (rotator cuff tears, labral tears and instability, etc.). He is always actively looking for new ways to improve his surgicalonsurgical treatment methods to help his patients regain their active lifestyle.Dr. Koo feels it is unfortunate that surgeons are often not associated with empathy, because they are in the ideal position to support patients as they recover from difficult procedures. In his practice, his patients’ questions will be heard and answered promptly. By working together he and his patients can optimize the patient experience and maximize their health and well-being.Learn more about Dr. Koo at drsamuelkoo.com</a>.

      What is the definition of Osteoarthritis?

      Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder. It is due to aging and wear and tear on a joint.

      When should I see an Osteoarthritis doctor near Kirkland, WA?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing an Osteoarthritis doctor near Kirkland, WA?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Osteoarthritis doctors near Kirkland, WA?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Osteoarthritis doctors near Kirkland, WA?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with an Osteoarthritis doctor near Kirkland, WA?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Osteoarthritis doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Osteoarthritis doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with an Osteoarthritis doctor near Kirkland, WA?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Osteoarthritis doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Osteoarthritis doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Osteoarthritis doctors near Kirkland, WA?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Osteoarthritis doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers.
