Cannot recommend highly enough - so knowledgeable, thorough, thoughtful, and communicates effortlessly.

Dr Koch knew my medical historian listened to my description of pain before proceeding with my treatment. I just recommended her to my partner for issues with his hands.

My visit with Dr. Koch went very well. I was seen immediately upon my arrival. Her assistant was quick to ask questions and record answers. Dr. Koch tried to make the shot as tolerable as possible. It is just over a week and my hand is moving better.

Excellent care from start to finish

Laura has taken care of my hands for more that 15 years. No body I would trust more.

Friendly, prompt, knowledgeable. Very efficient and clearly explained my diagnosis and treatment options as well as formed a care plan with me. Highly recommend her services.

Dr. Koch and the entire TCO team were phenomenal today.

Always pleasant and timely. Staff is both efficient and thorough and Dr. Koch is very patient in both her explanations and responding to my concerns or questions.

Dr.Koch is professional and kind!

She's fantastic!

Smart, competent and takes the time to answer your questions. I felt very safe and comfortable trusting her to do my carpel tunnel surgery, and my instincts were right.

Dr. Laura was wonderful in dealing with my arthritic wrist. She gave me a cortisone shot that restored my strength and relieved my pain. Her easy to talk to manner made every thing even better. Highly recommend!

Dr. Koch is an excellent doctor/ surgeon. My ratings as well as others speak to that. She operated on my hand yesterday. She has a great bedside manner and explains everything very well. Her experience and expertise gave me reassurance, even though I typically get quite nervous when facing surgery. The staff at TCO is second to none.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Koch for years due to issues with my wrist. We’ve avoided surgery with cortisone shots and they work very well. Dr. Koch is extremely knowledgeable and great to work with.

Personable, welcoming, informative and ON TIME!

Laura Koch did a wonderful job on making my trigger finger go away in both of my thumbs. Thank you, Dr. Koch.

I was very pleased with the advice given to me by Dr. Koch. She was practical and considered my views about my injury. I would strongly recommend her to others.

As usual, my appointment was quick and a Cortisone shot was administered within a few minutes. My hand was extremely painful when I arrived but today my hand is feeling much better. Dr. Koch has been my hand surgeon for over 10 years and she listens as well today as she did at the beginning. She is my recommendation if anyone asks for an Orthopedist.

Most professional and courteous experience I have had for any surgery

She did a great job on the surgery I should have full range of motion after physical therapy. I would always recommend her she has a great bedside manor and is really good at everything her and her team undertake to get you well. You will never be disappointed.

Dr. Koch is a wonderful provider, very kind & highly professional. I’d recommend her to everyone.

Dr. Koch was excellent, and kind. Very much appreciated her time, and her knowledge.

Dr Koch did surgery on my right hand 6 yrs ago and was fabulous to work with. Excellent job. So when I broke my left wrist in a fall, without a pause, I asked if she was still with twin cities ortho. She will be doing my surgery this week. She is friendly, open with info, really clear, caring.

I’ve had 4 surgeries performed by Dr. Koch for a condition called Dupeytrenes Contracture. The procedures always go well due to the good doctor as well as her complete staff. They always are great to me. Thank you Dr. Koch & all of your staff.

Dr. Koch takes time to explain all information and answer every question thoughtfully. She is cognizant of how procedures fit into my life and discusses all options thoroughly.

From the moment I walk into any Twin Cities Orthopedics facility, I am welcomed and cared for by kind, thoughtful, and highly trained professionals. I highly recommend TCO and Dr. Laura Koch.

Laurie Koch, M.D. and her entire TCO team exceeded all my expectations. From treating me to arranging a surgical procedure they were all kind, courteous, and prompt.
