can't book a return 6 month appt for 9 months and can't get them to call with the results of a biopsy that needs treatment with repeated calls to them. Also after reading the visit summary most of it wasn't true. I think they just have a standard form they use on everyone and they certainly don't listen.
In my life I have had the good fortune of obtaining treatment from some excellent and caring Physicians in various parts of the United States. Dr. Koochek is the only one that I would/will never return to see. His Medical skills may be adequate but his personal ability to communicate or relate to a patient is non existent. When I commented to him on my second visit about the long healing time and the continued discomfort from a lesion he scraped from my back he replied "Listen Bud, there are a lot of Dermatologists out there. Why don't you check them out". I was astounded that a Licensed Medical Doctor could be that rude and, in my view, totally unprofessional. First issue, my name was on the folder at his finger tips just in case he did not want to take the time to see who he was treating. My name is not "Bud" nor am I ever likely to be his Buddy. Second issue, he took absolutely no interest in my having discomfort from his treatment. His visits are so short and quick there is no focus on establishing any relationship with a patient. It is very apparent he is most interested in maximizing his appointment billings each day to provide for his financial future. After reading his reviews I see that he has had other similar encounters with patients. Perhaps his personality would make him more effective as a research Doctor where he could focus on Lab work and not be required to interact with people. A very disappointing encounter that will certainly encourage me to seek treatment outside the Banner Medical Team.
Both my husband and I have had skin cancer. This does not seem to concern him, nor does he take the time to address new concerns. Why wait months to see him for only a five minute exam?
The most UNprofessional so called doctor ever. Don't ask him any questions or insinuate he doesn't spend enough time with his patience because he will throw a tantrum and accuse you of threatening him. He did however storm out of the room like a child and said he was going to get his manager.he was going to go get his
Friendly and takes the time to explain things. He is great at what he does!
I wish there were an even higher rating to describe how positive my experience as a patient to Dr. Koochek has been. He has the perfect combination of professionalism, expertise, and sincere caring about his patients. I have needed his help on several occasions and it has been gratifying to have problems solved from the very start. He is thorough and proactive, listens attentively, offers his recommendations as he discusses treatment options, and then gets the job done flawlessly. He does all of this while showing a genuine regard for how things are going in my life. I have not encountered another doctor who brings such wonderful attributes to each office visit. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Koochek as my doctor.
I struggled with cystic acne for several years before visiting Dr. Koochek. After trying antibiotics for a couple months with no success, I was placed on Accutane. Accutane not only cleared my entire face, but it gave me a level of confidence that I did not know I had! Dr. Koochek is a fantastic doctor and a very friendly and genuine person. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with acne issues.
Before I went to Dr. Koochek, I checked out his educational background and credentials. They are among the best I have ever seen. When I had my first visit with him, he did what a dermatologist is suppose to do. He carefully examined my skin from head to toe. He rendered the proper diagnosis and then gave me options for treatment with explanations of pros and cons for each. He proceeded with the treatment option I chose and then gave me proper verbal and written follow-up instructions. He has an engaging personality and was very cordial and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Koochek as a very competent and amicable physician.
I would first like the say how wonderful the staff is. Having said that, I am very thankful to have Dr Koochek as my dermatologist. His bedside manner is fabulous and an excellent physician!!!!
Dr. Arash is a fantastic doctor! I went to him for a severe case of eczema, Which I couldn't stop scratching and then got infected. He prescribed the appropriate medication ( unlike the previous Dr I saw) and gave clear direction on how to use. Within a very short period of time the infected areas were healed up. He is also very personable and listens very well. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great dermatologist.
I found Dr. Koocheck to be proactive with his treatment and diagnosis. He is very thorough and attentive, listens to his patients concerns and addresses them with care and understanding. Dr. Koocheck's staff are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend him - a first-rate dermatologist!
I was referred here due to a chronic condition. It was clear from the beginning that the office was only interested in looking for possible skin cancers that couldbe removed and my insurance billed. I had not come in for a skin check and procedure. The first thing the nurse wrote on the chart was patient wants no procedures today. The doctor came in and I described condition and the treatments I’ve gone through before and what He promptly announced that he had nothing to offer me and suggested I go to another type of specialist, even though the last specialist to treat a condition was a dermatologist. Unless you’re interested in going in for a skin check and to have “potential“ skin cancer removed, this practitioner does not appear uninterested.
I am sharing this information under my wife's Gmail account. My name is Jim and I have had two appointments with Dr. Koocheck. I have had Basil cell Mohs surgery twice before at another office and had a skin check from Dr. Koocheck. He was very proactive in my treatment and suggested a cream on my forehead area that would indicate future Basil cells and treat them at the same time! To me this is a wonderful thing to treat numerous Basil cells at the same time without further surgery and costs to the insurance company and my own pocketbook! This guy is the real deal and I am delighted with his council and advice. I could not recommend him with greater enthusiasm.
Absolutely great Dr. Thorough, great bedside manner, wonderful sense of humor. Would recommend him with highest marks. Listens and is very sensitive to your concerns
Dr. K is friendly, attentive, a good listener and reassuring. Every question answered and all concerns addressed. I highly recommend him! Definitely earns 5-stars!
Dr. Koochek and his assistant Val were so helpful when I saw them! They explained everything very well and helped me feel at ease during my visit. They were patient with me and answered all my questions. If you need a dermatologist please make an appointment with him!
I took my mother to see Dr. Koochek today. He was amazing in all areas you’d expect from a physician. Dr. Koochek was personable, professional, and demonstrated a truly caring demeanor towards my mom. His support staff was kind, patient, and helpful with all of my mom’s needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Koochek’s practice!
I called to schedule an appointment and was able to see Dr. Koochek the next day! How amazing is that? On top of addressing my concern I was offered a full body skin check. Performed thoroughly and respectfully. Dr. Koochek and his assistant Fatima were pleasant, professional and explained each step of the exam. Advise was given, biopsies taken, concerns were answered and some pleasant chitchat was exchanged. Overall a great experience. And if you're wondering, during the entire exam PPE was used and I was able to wear my mask too. I highly recommend Dr. Koochek and his team.

I was referred to Dr. Koochek to correct a oversight made by another doctor. Samantha in his office was extremely helpful in getting my referral and scheduling me in, as well as working with my primary care doctor to make sure I was seen promptly. I was impressed with Dr Koochek’s skill and how he easily removed something my previous doctor deemed “too difficult”. I would definitely recommend this doctor. It was worth the extra drive across town to know I was in skilled hands.
