Dr. Koc is a great doctor and fellow; at least in my estimation. He remembers who I am (I see him once a year usually) and seems to remember things about me. I can ask questions about other health problems as they may or may not relate to my being there in the first place. A grand fellow.

Doctor Koc is a pleasure. He knows his stuff (I'm in remission) and does a thorough job every visit. When I tell him something is not right, he listens and sometimes orders a test to follow-up.

I am so pleased with the care at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Koc has been so attentive to my care. He encouraged me to seek a second opinion within the dept so that I could make a decision I was most comfortable with regarding chemo!! who does that! He ALWAYS makes sure he answers any questions I have and makes sure I understand his answers. I have the utmost faith in him and have recommended him to others.

As a patient if Dr Koc's since 2010, he has never kept me waiting for an appointment and actually has come to the waiting room to bring me back when his other team members were busy. He is always respectful, honest, and approachable. He shows concern for me as a patient and I never feel rushed during a visit.
