More about Dr. Kyle Kokko, MD
Dr. Kokko has called Charleston home for over 25 years. After completing the prestigious hand fellowship program at New York University’s Hospital for Joint Diseases, he was recruited back to Charleston and served over five years on the hand surgery faculty at MUSC. There he achieved the most advanced level of Board Certification for Hand Surgery by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons, built a comprehensive hand and wrist surgery practice, developed innovative techniques through research, and helped to educate future hand surgeons. Dr. Kokko then went on to co-found Hand Institute of Charleston with the philosophy that the highest possible quality of care could be achieved by assembling a world-class team that focuses exclusively on disorders of the hand and wrist. He offers highly specialized and customized operative and nonoperative treatment options for chronic hand and wrist problems, and also for injuries of the hand and wrist. He has a particular interest in minimally-invasive and opioid-sparing techniques. In his spare time he enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, cooking and boating.

The best experience! Professional and friendly staff and nurses. My appt was at 10 am; I was in an exam room at 10:02. Dr Kokko was great: listened well. explained my options and i feel good about going forward. Check in, xrays, consultation, shot, options for a brace and i was out the door at 10:55! amazing.
May 11, 2022Sandra G.Verified patient
I moved to Dr. Kokko after not being able to get a follow up with another doctor. The change was definitely the right move for me. Dr. Kokko listened to me and my concerns and moved me forward instead of taking me back to square one with my bilateral tendinitis issue. The staff at his office were nice and participated in the treatment.
April 19, 2022Christine M.Verified patient
Awesome staff everyone took the time to explain everything thoroughly to make sure I understand exactly what needed to be done were it was being done as well as the down time just an overall great group of people
