Meet Dr Ko
Albert Ko, M.D.
Dr. Ko was born and raised in New Jersey. As early as high school he knew he wanted to become a physician. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the Pennsylvania State University. He then attended Hahnemann University School of Medicine in Philadelphia for his Medical Degree. Early in medical school Dr. Ko knew he wanted to become a surgeon. Fortunately soon after that realization he discovered plastic surgery. The diversity of problems and the detail-oriented work are what attracted him most.
He remained in Philadelphia and completed a full General Surgery residency at the Graduate Hospital in affiliation with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Doctor Ko then traveled to UMASS Medical Center in Worcester, Massachusetts for his training in Plastic Surgery. As part of that training he spent time at Lenox Hill Hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side. There he studied cosmetic surgery techniques from some of New York's busiest Plastic Surgeons. While there he fostered relationships with some of the surgeons and still keeps it touch with them today. Whether it is to discuss a challenging case, evaluate a new technique, or to just say hello to an old friend… Dr. Ko believes in forming lasting relationships with colleagues and patients.
Since the completion of his training Dr. Ko has been a full time member of the Medical Staff at the Cambridge Hospital. He is fully trained and board certified in both general surgery and plastic surgery, but now limits his practice to plastic surgery. He has served as Chief of Plastic Surgery at the Cambridge Hospital since 2001.
His new office in West Roxbury, Massachusetts is devoted exclusively to Cosmetic Surgery.

Society Hill Center for Cosmetic Surgery
We at Society Hill Center for Cosmetic Surgery have spent a tremendous amount of time in designing our office space. In planning our office space we contacted many of our colleagues around the country and reviewed our 'notes' with them. We then spent many hours with our own architect designing and revising our plans. We think you'll agree the time spent was well worth it! From your very first step into our comfortable reception area to your consult or treatment in one of our modern exam rooms you will feel the peaceful ambiance that abounds in our office.
We have tried to create a workspace that flows naturally. And we have thought of you and what you would want in an office design. For example we have a separate, discreet entrance/exit for those leaving (or for patients coming in for their procedure/first post-op check) so you will not have to travel back through the reception area. We also have a separate waiting area out of sight from the main desk. And for the future we have a fully planned operating room and recovery area.
Please be sure to take a tour when you come in for your first visit. And don't forget to ask our receptionist about upcoming seminars.
