Feedback from our Patients
I cant say enough great things about Dr Koch and her team! She is thorough, has great bedside manner and she is a phenomenal surgeon.
Dr Koch responded promptly with detailed instructions for the first responders. She scheduled me instantly for emergency hand surgery.
Her explanation of the procedure was detailed and her follow up prompt.
Thank you again, Dr Koch.

After months of pain in my husband’s shoulder, we were lucky enough to find Dr. Koch, an orthopedic surgeon in PTA East. She spent countless hours going through the x-rays, and so on, explaining the surgery in detail and the expected outcome.
We did the surgery she recommended, and my husband is now pain-free. We strongly recommend Dr. Koch to someone who has some sort of shoulder discomfort

Ek wil graag net baie dankie sê vir jou professionele diens aan my met my vinger operasie. Dit was besonder uitdagende tye met Covid en meer ( asook u eie uitdagings). Tans beleef ek dat die vinger uitstekend verbeter het en ek glo dat dit nog meer gaan herstel.
Dankie ook vir die operasies op my dogter se arm. Haar arms is baie sterker
