R. Michael Koch's Online Review Report Card

Look no further!! Dr. Koch & his entire team are outstanding! I am so grateful I found them! Starting with his administrative staff (Kristin & Alicia) both exceptional young women who were so kind, caring, capable & always helpful! I appreciated their attention to details, follow-up, and professionalism. It helped to alleviate my anxiety & me wondering if everything would work out administratively and it could not have gone any smoother!Dr. Koch is fantastic! When I met him, he immediately put me at ease. When I spoke, I felt he really listened to my concerns & treated me respectfully. He was kind, patient and caring. I was impressed with his expertise & knowledge in my specific area of need. After the consult, I just "KNEW" he was the one and felt completely at peace. Thank you ALL (including all the nurses and even the anesthesiologist at the hospital in Cortlandt Manor) once again for taking such excellent care of me. Thank you Dr. Koch for having a wonderful demeanor & so skillful at what you do. I am so grateful & feel so blessed. Many blessings to you all!

I had the BEST experience with Dr. Koch and his whole team. It was truly a wonderful and warm experience from start to finish. Dr. Koch was a wonderful surgeon - he took so much time and care to make sure I had no questions and knew exactly what to expect, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up (Chihiro, Kristin, and Alicia are all fantastic). I am so glad I chose Dr. Koch and would do it over again in a heartbeat. HIGHLY recommend to anyone!

I had implants done by him in 2011. His old office got rid of my records & he did not have them. They seemed to be pushing me off since august. I had seen other surgeons who all said the implants needed to be removed bc they were teardrop textured which have been taken off the market & some recalled. Spent no time with him, no or little communication & finally when they felt they had to see me again bc I forced their hand the PA was beyond rude to me & said "it’s not like this will make you feel better” I said no I don’t know that my blood work all came back negative so it might. Then they said they would get me dates/pricing & never did. From August to Mid-October is ridiculous. I have had a better experience at literally every other surgeon’s office I went to regardless of if I decided to get the procedure with them or not. The staff alone is enough reason to stay away. If you disagree with them or question them they will say you are lying or difficult(how they have responded to other negative reviews Worst experience every go to anyone else besides him. They even tried to blame me & say it was me which if that is the case then why did other doctors agree( primary care, GI, Endo, cardiologist, rheumatologist & other surgeons who say it is a possibility due to the type of implant he used & the negative results from the blood work) - but we are all wrong & they are the only ones right SMH - Not surprised they told me not to tell the old practice the records were for him - I thought that was originally shady i should have taken that red flag & ran instead of wasting my time! Dr Koch & staff go ahead say I am incorrect & lying I can post emails next where nothing has been explained ever & it was even told to me that he received & reviewed my blood work but he said he had not reviewed them yet & i was kept waiting 2 hours for a 10 min meeting - I have stuff written down as well the story kept changing - but myself & all these doctors are wrong/lying & you are the only people right!

DR KOCH PERFORMED A VERY COMPLICATED 9.5 HOUR SURGERY. I HAVE HAD OVER 20 SURGERIES WITH ANOTHER SURGEON AND DOCTOR KOCH GOT IT RIGHT. HE IS BEYOND GIFTED.

Dr.Koch was amazing! He was very professional, He explained to me the process of my breast reduction. He educated me, and gave me assurance that I was going to be ok. He followed up, answered any questions I had. All of the staff was great. I also love my new breast!

I had an overall excellent experience with Dr. Koch from my initial consultation to my post surgical visits. I went to Dr. Koch after major weight loss surgery, and then major abdominal surgeries (not related to the weight loss surgery). Due to the excessive skin and the way my abdomen healed from the subsequent surgeries, I had to do something because of recurrent painful rashes, and not being able to find clothing that fit well. Dr. Koch explained everything at my first visit. He took his time, and drew diagrams. I had questions written down to ask him, but when he finished explaining, he had answered all of those questions and more. I was made to feel so comfortable, and at the end of this visit I knew I had made the right choice. The procedure went just as planned and I am extremely happy with the results. The staff was wonderful and receptive to any phone call I made. I highly recommend Dr. Koch for his professionalism and expertise.

Would highly recommend dr.koch and staff

From the first appointment with Dr. Koch and his staff I felt a sense of relief. Dr. Koch explains the procedure and spends time with you going over concerns. Dr. Koch'd staff is wonderful. A special acknowledgement to Chihiro for the compassion and encouragement on the day of surgery. I waited a few months after my breast reconstruction surgery to post this review. I wanted to wait until I was able to focus on the visual result of reconstruction not just as part of my cancer surgery, but for the physical result. I am not a young women, but my breasts now look 20 years younger! Now I am thinking maybe Dr. Koch might be able to do some little age reducing on my face.

Dr. Koch is amazing! His professionalism and cosmetic expertise are exceptional! I am so happy with my results! I recommend anyone to see him. You will not be disappointed!

As a patient in the midst of breast reconstruction due to cancer, Dr. Koch and his team have been so incredibly helpful from the start with drawing and notes that made it easier to understand during a very hard time. Dr. Koch helps to clarify at each step of the way and has been available to answer questions, respond to calls, and work through my confusion as the cancer process unfolded and the reconstruction work is now in progress. I am so grateful that he is my surgeon and absolutely recommended him.
