Dr Koch showed genuine concern about my eyesight and what we can do to maintain what I have and prevent possible blindness.

The provider inspected my eyes for injury due to an accidental spray of liquid concrete sealer. She looked up the chemical makeup of the sealer and determined it would not have had a significant impact. She prescribed drops to help the healing. I filled the prescription which was quite expensive, and I wished she would have discussed substitutes, like generic brands.

She checked my vision and said that I don't new glasses. I'm good for now.

Dr. Koch was very personable while also being very informative and reassuring. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of eye care support.

My eye exam was very complete and my Questions were answered with easy to understand answers and written instructions on over the counter meds that might be useful and what type of sunglasses to use for glare.

Dr. Koch is wonderful. She's been my optometrist for many years. I have glaucoma & macular & feel I am getting expert advice & care under her care.
9/2/2019
Dr Koch was attentive and listened to my concerns and tried to piece what was going on with my eyes to other medical issues I had. She prescribed drops for my eyes that cleared up my problem very quickly but was very concerned to keep a close eye on follow up and had me schedule further appointments to do just that. I appreciated her attention to detail and not let me slip through the cracks.

Dr. Koch is a wonderful care provider. She asks questions, she will look up information if she doesn't know it off-hand, she thinks ahead, planning for future concerns she is engaged and interested. [...]
