Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible experience
I had a terrible experience at this office. I went to get an estimate for an implant and they charged a consultation fee. I knew there was a consultation fee of approximately $143 so that was ok because he was recommended by my dentist so I assumed he was good, but after I got there he refused to even give an estimate unless I also paid an additional $400 for a ct scan in their office . Already had info from my dentist as to what would be involved so I declined the ct scan. Had to argue with the front office and assistant to even get a ballpark figure out of them for the procedure after paying the consultation fee. I was furious by the time I left there and would not ever recommend this place to anyone.

My experience with Dr. Koch was excellent!!! He has a wonderful way of making his patients feel relaxed and knowledgeable. His expertise was exceptional and his advice and recommendation for after care was caring and politely given for the best results for healing. His staff radiated his thoughtfulness throughout my tenure from surgery to stitch removal. He is through with his professionalism.

My experience was good but I am really concerned that one of the assistants didn’t wear her mask all the time. She had it around her neck just not over her face at all times.

Dr. KOCH is a true professional who cares for his patients "beyond the call" . My case was complex and he contacted my physician for special adjustments in my medications. He provided patient and caregiver instructions, and was very reassuring.

Who likes to go to a dentist? Very few, I believe. But, with Dr. Koch, you know you are in good, competent, caring hands. I wouldn't go to anyone else. He is caring, calls you the next day to see how you are doing, to see if everything is going well. The staff is friendly, and caring. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate going to someone I trust, and know he has the knowledge, and experience, it takes to have a good outcome with my dental surgery. Dr. Koch is a blessing to the community. Pat M.

Couldn't ask for a more friendly, caring doctor. Was very thorough in telling methe procedure he was going to perform. I felt comfortable asking any questions I felt necessary and Dr. Koch was willing to help in any way possible post surgery. Would highly recommend
