    Dr. Koch is wonderful, professional, and keeps up with the current medical advances and explains them in simple terms for non-medical professionals to follow concepts of a procedure, expectations from the Doctor''s and patient''s points of view, and has a good sense of humor and a wonderful touch of humanity that is needed when dealing with serious medical topics.
