  • Dr. Kooch Relieved My Pain
    Dr. Kooch - I cannot express my gratitude enough to Dr. Kooch and his team! To think of how much pain I was in to how I feel today! Dr. Kooch takes the time to explain the procedures he is recommending and the benefits. I felt so comfortable and at ease with him and was able to trust him completely (which is not my norm)! To make me laugh when I felt like crying may not sound like a big deal but to me it was, THANK YOU! I have and will continue to highly recommend him.
  • Dr. Kooch, you're the best!
    Dr. KOOCH, you're the BEST!!! Thank you so much for being so caring and treating my symptoms with such urgency. I didn't realize how bad the herniation in my cervical spone was and the damage it was causing in my arm. You not only connected me with a 'fantastic' surgeon immediately but you also followed-up with me to see how I was doing. YOU are truly compassionate and I am so grateful to have had you as my physician. My surgery ws a success and PT is almost over - I feel great. I will be recommending you to everyone I know.
