Dr. Robert Koch listens to what I say. He asks appropriate questions and follows up with more questions until he’s sure of what I’m saying. He orders tests, explaining what information they will give him. He has been my Cardiologist for over 15 years. My sister and my nephew are also his patients, and we all trust him (literally) with our lives.

Dr. Koch saw me in the ER and knew exactly what the problem was. All procedures were flawless. The only thing I am confused with is why he told me prior to discharge to give his office the documentation I need for my disability placard (and to hold my fitness center membership). I was then told that I would need to wait for my next appointment in one month to get the required signatures. I'm in congestive heart failure now, not (hopefully) in one month. This policy seems absurd.

Even though I was the youngest of all his patients (26) he saw me and listened to my concerns, made sure my test results checked out. I was recommended to see a cardiologist due to heart palpitations and a possible stroke. Dr. Koch is an excellent doctor and one I know I will be going to see again if I suspect heart problems as I age.

Dr. Koch spent the time with me to review all the records I brought and to listen to my worries. He ended up finding the diagnosis of my problems that other MDs just did'nt seem to get. I can now ride my bike again and breath good with no pressure in my chest. He changed a few prescriptions that worked right away even though they were not expensive. I saved money and feel better. He is definitely worth the wait. I guess the best docs are also the busyest. Many thanks to a dedicated doctor.

We like Dr. Koch and think highly of him as a physician. Unfortunately, in the several years we've been seeing him--no matter what time of day--the wait has been way more than an hour; in fact, I don't think he's ever even reached his office before we have. I understand he is probably at the hospital, and backups are bound to occur, but every time? He does take his time with patients, and this is admirable, but why does his staff not call patients when he's running an hour and a half late?
