I have been a patient of Dr. Joseph Koka's since I was 18 years old. For anyone who is reading this review, that would mean that I've been a patient of his for over 33 years. I love this guy. For real.
When my gynecologist retired, I was pretty nervous about going to see a new doc. All my fears were completely allayed by Dr. Koka's laid-back manner, his intelligence and wit, and his ability to figure something out in no time. Whenever I made a decision about my body, he was there to completely support me. I'll never use anyone else.
One experience completely stands out for me. I remember that I had been temporarily using a different physician in a different practice, due to an insurance change. Because those physicians were unable to figure out what had been going on with me, I contacted Dr. Koka and gave him the information. He sent me for immediate labwork, and was the one who told me that I had miscarried. Because he figured out something that other physicians with twice his experience could not, he immediately became a hero.
When the time came for my daughter to be born, Dr. Koka and his partner, Dr. Rosenberg, delivered her. I could not have asked for a greater gift; Dr. Koka joked with me to keep me calm during the surgery (I'd needed a C-section, because my daughter was breech). I had complete confidence with him back then, and I continue to have that same confidence now.
Dr. Koka's bedside manner is superb. I've worked with him as a colleague, and he's top notch. Because of his experience, his diagnosis skills are noteworthy. And he's an all-around great guy.
If you're looking for a caring, respectful, compassionate doctor with a calm demeanor, Dr. Koka is worth the trip. Friends of mine use him, and they are not disappointed. I've said it before, we must all make our own experiences and judge what works for us and what doesn't. I can tell you from personal experience that Dr. Koka is wonderful. It's up to you to make the call for yourself. read more
