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.

Best surgeon and doctor ever! And, great staff!
Dr. Koch was my thyroid surgeon in 2009. One of the best doctors and surgeons specializing in thyroid surgery. He really listens folks....and post-op care the best. To this day, he remains my specialist, trusting every one of his recommendations. His staff is always the best...never treated as a number! He and his staff recognize and demonstrate the human side of their patients, so knowledgeable and compassionate! Highly recommend Dr. Koch!

Great Doc
I have had many ENT issues for many years and decided it was time to see a specialist. My family physician referred me here and I have seen Dr. Koch 2 times now. Both times he has taken a lot of time to listen to me, check me out, do procedures, etc. His bedside manner, is excellent and I feel like he "hears me". Not that I am being pushed off or trying to rush me out. I would not hesitate to refer him and will continue to see him, until my issues are resolved!

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.
