F Daniel Koch, MD

Dr. Koch was very nice and seemed to care. His staff was very caring and compassionate. Glad I ignored the negative review and gave him a chance. He could tell I was in horrible pain from a bulging disc and wrote me pain meds unlike my GP who I had to beg to help me. I would recommend his office to those with ortho problems.

Sarah T is completely wrong about Dr. Koch.
I hurt my knee and went to the emergency room in terrible pain. While I was there, I was told that most likely I had torn my medial meniscus. I was also directed to see an orthopedist for further diagnosis and treatment. I was released and given a list of doctors that were close by. I noticed Dr. Koch listed as a part of the Resurgens Group. As Resurgens had helped me with my back problems, I decided to give his office a call. I was glad that I did as they were able to see me that afternoon.
His staff members were all friendly, and of the highest level of professionalism. Dr. Koch himself was to the point about my condition. He told me right off what he suspected was wrong — a torn medial meniscus — and that it may require surgery. However, he told me that only an MRI would confirm his suspicions and that I would most likely be directed by my insurance company to take physical therapy first.
He was right as the insurance company had me go through 6 weeks of physical therapy while the pain in my knee remained and at some points felt worse. I saw Dr Koch several times during those 6 weeks and he always gave me his full attention & knowledge of my condition and answered any questions that I had. His staff was always pleasant and extremely professional.
Finally, I was given an MRI and it confirmed Dr Koch’s diagnosis — a torn medial meniscus. Dr. Koch then scheduled and performed the surgery and I am continuing to make good progress on my road to recovery.
Dr. Koch has 2 qualities that I find rare in doctors — 1) he is direct and communicates in such a way that left me feeling like I knew what was going on and how it would be treated; and 2) he has a sense of humor that helped me to relax. I actually felt good leaving the doctors office for a change.
Sarah T — I exercise, but I am far from being a finely chiseled athlete and Dr. Koch never insulted me for that. Instead, he told me what needed to happen in order for me to stop hurting and then how to get stronger after that. He also, told me the reality of what my injury meant for my exercise regimen going forward. On your other comments:
Useless — wrong, I found his knowledge and treatment first rate — he definitely helped me get better;
Self-​centered — wrong again, the man made jokes about himself and never gave off that vibe around me — especially during his inquiries into how my life was going, how my mental health was going in regard to the injury, etc.;
Rude — wrong a third time, he was always polite to me, my wife and my son who had to drive me to my 1^st visit.
I would recommend Dr Koch and his staff to anyone having troubles with their knees.

I can’t believe I just paid for that man to insult me. Not only did he say «I don’t know what it could be, it could be anything» several times, he had to nerve to insult me because I’m not a finely chiseled athlete. Didn’t even recommend PT. Useless, self-​centered, rude. I was on the verge of tears when I left because his words were so hurtful. There are plenty of other docs to choose from, stay away from this one. I saw him at Resurgens in Decatur, not the listed Snellville location.
