Wow, where to start? From the first call for an appointment through this very moment I have nothing but stellar experiences with Dr. Koch and his team.I made my consult appoint with Kristin who answered every question I had prior to my consult. At the consult I sat with Dr. Koch who took the time to not only hear what I came in for but to understand why. He explained what the procedure would be. He drew out a sketch of what he would do and then gave me a detailed timeline of what my experience would be from that point through my recovery. It was on to an exam room to look at the area I was looking at. I met the PA Chihiro who was welcoming and reassuring. Kristin took some pictures and started the process of insurance approvals. While that process was going on I would routinely email questions that came up for me. Every response came either that day or the next, sometimes within minutes. I had my procedure at Stamford hospital (excellent facility). I met with Dr. Koch that morning. I saw Chihiro on the way into the ER and I woke up a few hours later, over the hump, on my way through recovery. Dr. Koch was there for me in the hospital. After I got home, the first rate service continued. The office was responsive to all my questions and requests. I at the first follow up I was moved to tears. The transformation was that powerful. I am currently 4 weeks post surgery and am recovering nicely. It will be months before everything "settles in" and I see the final product. That said, I couldn't behabppier with what I see today. Dr. Koch is an artist. He surrounds himself with a quality team who have taken care of me with the highest standard of care all around. I highly recommend Dr. Koch's plastic surgery practice. More
After 2 poorly performed surgeries in the past, Doctor Koch was the only one who focused on my health and well being during and after my surgery. He is the best plastic surgeon I have ever had and I am super thankful for the support I received. All I have to express is pure gratitude for the help and true professionalism I got to experience. Same for all his staff, specially Kristin and Chihiro Shinohara. More
Dr. Koch is the absolute best for breast lift and reduction! I am thrilled! From start to finish it’s been seamless and flawless. Office and nursing staff were always available to answer questions pre and post op. Dr. Koch explained everything about the procedure and what I would need for the after care. He was kind, gentle and thorough. I couldn’t be happier with his care and my result!!! More
Dr. Michael Koch is the most warm and empathetic doctor I have ever met. He is truly a gentleman in every way. His care and technical skills are outstanding and his calm demeanor makes patients feel at ease. His consults are artistically detailed and he takes time in explaining your procedure. Kristin and Chihiro are amazing from beginning to end and made the whole experience smooth. More
I was referred to Dr. Koch for reconstruction (reduction and lift) from my breast surgeon. I had met with several plastic surgeons only to leave the consults feeling unsure and uncomfortable. From the moment I met Dr. Koch I knew he was the 'ONE'. In our first meeting, he gave me a sense of ease and I had a definite sense that he not only understood my concerns but also listened. During the consult, he began to draw on paper the way he would approach my surgery. I was in awe as before me the blank piece of paper he used, was literally transformed into a piece of Art. He cared enough to take the time to draw in detail explaining his methodology specific to me, My body. It was then that I understood he was a cut above all the rest and that I knew he would be my plastic surgeon. I rave about Dr. Koch to everyone and yes, I even show his magnificent work to those who ask. I am literally thrilled and beyond happy with the way my breast look and feel. I no longer have terrible back pain and can fit into blouses without feeling top heavy. As for Post-op I had no issues and on a scale of 1 - 10 my pain level was - Drumroll please -- a ... Zero. Yes, you heard me right, a Zero. - DISCLAIMER - this may just be specific to me but I had absolutely no pain from my surgery. Of course, I would like to attribute this to Dr. Koch and his skillful workmanship but again, everyone is different. Discomfort yes, as I could only sleep on my back etc. but other than that, I felt nothing. I was happy with the follow up office visits and left feeling informed and understanding what to expect regarding my recovery. Dr. Koch is the next best thing to G-d's gift when it comes to women making a woman feel beautiful. I will forever be grateful and appreciative for his masterful and skilled workmanship. Thank you for making me feel and look beautiful! Ruth Clark More
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.

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.

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! More
