Tak-ming Ko was born and raised in Hong Kong and came to the US for college. After college, he was fortunate to be accepted to medical school and graduated from University of Washington School of Medicine in 1991. Dr. Ko completed his surgical residency at St. Vincents Medical Center in New York City in 1997. He served in the Navy for 4 years before starting a private practice in Twin Falls, Idaho. Dr. Ko worked in Twin Falls for 11 years, but could not resist the call from the last frontier and moved his practice to Alaska. He retired from his fulltime practice last year in Palmer, Alaska to spend time with family and friends as well as catching up on fishing, hiking, skiing, traveling and growing an orchard in Hawaii. Since retirement, Tak-ming Ko missed practicing surgery and is now returning to part time work to continue his craft. Dr. Ko loves surgery and helping people and is honored to labor in our community.
