    Dr. Koch is probably one of the best doctors I have ever seen. He was extremely thorough, even with comparing current tests to past tests and finding an area of concern that no one else noticed. This was my first appointment with him and he was prepared about my history as soon as he sat down to talk to me. He explained things on a level I could understand. Very positive experience

    I have never had a Dr who was more attentive! He took the time to explain my condition and treatments and listened, really listened to my concerns! He made me feel validated. And comfortable in the plan we created to get my asthma under control. I wish all of the Drs I see were this caring

    Dr. Koch is always very attentive, listens and ask relative questions. I can see he''s consistently thinking about my answers and trying to come up with possible solutions. He always gives a clear plan of options, next steps, and sends me to appropriate drs to eliminate/confirm other issues. Dr. Koch is always very thorough and has a great attitude! I would recommend him as a wonderful physician!!

    Dr. Koch was wonderful! He took all my prior history, tests and current symptoms and delved into all possible causes. He sent me for all the testing I needed & helped me to get as much as possible done in the 6 days I was in Cleveland. I would refer all my friends who have a need of a pulmonologist to Dr. Koch. I can't say enough good things about him!!! Thank you for all your help!! He was thorough, explained everything as to what was happening and I feel assured we will find out why it's happening under his care!

    Dr. Koch was kind, professional, intelligent, focused on me and listened very carefully to my concerns about a chronic 2-year cough. He took time to ask me pointed relevant questions to decide WITH ME about the treatment plan we pursue.

    Dr Koch was very detailed and explained everything to me that my previous pulmonologist never even explained to me. I learned a lot about my disease and medication I've been using incorrectly because I was never told that I needed to rinse my mouth out after using my air Supra by previous pulmonologist. Now I need periodontal care. Thank you Dr. Koch! He's fantastic and good for me
