Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great family Doctor
Myself and two family members have had excellent experience with Dr. Koczka. He has patiently explained conditions and provided helpful advice. He stands out for responsiveness- he answers emails and messages very promptly- always same day and often same hour.

His diagnosis was perfect in my case. He explained exactly what was found and recommended the proper treatment. He was my second opinion and I could not be happier with his approach. I believe he has extended my life with his spot on diagnosis.

Needs improvement !
Very rushed bedside manner does not answer questions or explain diagnosis very well. Does not communicate well to patients bc he relies solely on email and he clearly rushes through those also. He almost started me on meds that were not necessary and very dismissive of side effects I was experiencing. Good at procedures but needs work on his bedside manner and spending proper time with patients, which sometimes requires picking up a phone post-care.

Excellent care
I see Dr. Charles Koczka for regular, general gasto care. I believe him to be an excellent physician with a warm and easy "bedside manner." He explains things clearly in laymen's terms, attends to my questions with respect, and makes what might otherwise be uncomfortable matters as pleasant as can be.

I have visited Dr. Koczka at least 3 times over the past 5 years. My initial visit was for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Subsequent visit were for gastric pain. I find him to be condescending and insulting. He makes many unnecessary comments with assumptions about my eating habits rather than asking. I visit so infrequently that each time I have forgotten about how dismissive he could be. I have made the decision to find someone new for a second opinion and to never see Dr. Koczka again.
