Dr. Koch is a personable and caring doctor . I have been with her as a patient over 30 years. She is the best Dr. I have ever had and although I am happy for her that she is retiring I will be sad to see her leave!!!

Dr. Koch included a student in the examination - I think it was even more thorough, comprehensive than usual, and she included me in the process of diagnosis and recommendation. Incredibly helpful
