Had a great appt with Dr. Koch today. He is truly what I would hope for when going for a doctors appt. A compassionate and very knowledgeable doctor who takes the extra time time to explain and deal with your medical needs. I really wish all doctors were like Dr Koch! Short wait times and never felt rushed. If you're in the Allentown area and need an ENT I would highly Dr. Koch.. Dr. Koch's staff is amazing too. Linda is a great Audiologist for too! Thanks for everything!

Dr Koch is a highly recommended knowledgeable ENT specialist. Visits are always pleasant. The office is clean, the staff is very pleasant, and no long waits. Dr. Koch always makes me feel welcome and I never feel rushed out during a visit. The attention and great service is more than enough for me to travel 1 hour from where I live to the office.

I met dr. Koch for the first time yesterday. After researching him and finding he had five stars across the board, I felt this was the man I needed to see. I have some very serious issues and he addressed every one of them with me. He explain things in detail, was very kind and compassionate and went beyond the scope of his specialty. My health history is a bit complicated and I recommend him highly to anyone he was having any type of an ENT issue.
