Patient reviews for Dr. Anish Koka
My visit to Dr. Koka's office was a very pleasant experience. I was a bit confused when I saw the sign that said Koka Cardiology, since my visit was not cardiology related, but the office staff reassured me that even though they specialize in cardiology, Dr. Koka is also an internist and sees other patients. I was a few minutes early, but was taken to an exam room almost immediately. Within less than 5 minutes there was a knock at the door, and two nurse practitioner students came in. The NP students who did the initial assessment were very friendly and professional, as was Dr. Koka himself. There was virtually no wait time whatsoever. The NP students and Dr. Koka performed an assessment, asked some questions, came up with a treatment plan, and I was finished 30 minutes after I arrived. I had chosen to see Dr. Koka because my normal PCP didn't have any appointments available on ZocDoc for quite some time. The staff informed me that they have a relationship with my PCP, and that, should I need a follow up, I can either return to their office OR go see my normal PCP. They also told me that, even though there may not be appointments on ZocDoc, I can call my PCP and will likely get seen anyway. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
This is my first and last visit to this office. I entered the office and there were two attendants behind the desk. A woman was signing into the sign in sheet and I stood by the door. Neither attendant acknowledge me so I just signed into the sign in sheet. There's a water fountain with a jug in the office and before I sat down I grabbed a cup to water and the jug was empty. My name was called and I provided insurance card, ID and paid the co-pay. I went into the room and a nurse came in almost immediately which was great and took my blood pressure. Told him why I was there and Dr. Koka came in and told him why I was there but he didn't seem take any of my concerns seriously. I have a stomach issue and he said take a laxative which I did but it hasn't given any relief. Told him about my allergic reaction and he said I'll get you a number to dermatologist and left. He doesn't less than five minutes in the room about my concerns. I can look up a dermatologist on my own. Dr. Koka didn't provide any assistance or insight. I will never go back.
What a waste!! Somehow they confirmed my appt even though they were a cardiologist and had me wait for 45+ minutes for the doctor to spend less than 5 minutes with me!!! There were people sitting outside on the floor because they overbooked themselves so badly. DON'T GO HERE>
I got skipped in line multiple times to get a doctor. Also the ladies at the front desk were not too helpful
The doctor, nurse practitioner and office staff were all great!
The visit itself was quite pleasent but I went in for blood work and was not called with the results. Despite calling 2 weeks after my appointment and leaving word with a receptionist that I would like to discuss the results (and being assured that someone would call me), I have still heard nothing.
In and out in 20 minutes. No fuss no muss.
Impersonal. Saw for 3 minutes with zero discussion after 30 minutes of waiting
Reception was rude and not very attentive – was about to charge me a specialist co-pay price vs a regular price (they had no idea why I was there even even though I outlined specific details about my appointment in advance via ZocDoc). The nurse was friendly and professional but ended up waiting another 40 minutes or so just for the doctor (who was also friendly and professional) to tell me pretty much everything the nurse had told me.
Amazing!
I highly recommend Dr. Koka. His staff was kind and efficient. Dr. Koka was very easy to talk to and informative. I felt as if no question was silly to ask. I will visit his practice again.
Dr. Koka, needs to go back to school for speaking to patients. He is one of the worst Doctors, I have been to in my life. He could care less of what was wrong with you. Had to ask him what was wrong with my health! He wanted to get in the room and out quickly. Barely an exam. Seemed disturbed to answer any questions. Didn't offer any advice or suggestions. Had no time for your illness or concerns. No compassion on how you felt or even asking how you feel. Actually, stated "When it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, its a duck". Quite Shocking for a Doctor in today's environment!
Dr. Koka and Dr. Roselli are both incredible doctors who have treated for me multiple illnesses and injuries for the past 5 years. They are both incredibly knowledgable, very thorough, compassionate, generous with their time, and always there to help when I need them. Fantastic bedside manner also makes them some of my favorite doctors to date. Donna at the front desk has also been extremely helpful in making last minute appointments or sending paperwork quickly. Excellent practice and highly recommended!!
Professional and friendly staff. Dr. explains issues directly and in plain layman's Englaish.
Dr. Koka always provides exceptional clinical care. He and his office staff go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience.
His staff greeted me and processed me in a friendly and efficient manner.Then I had a seat and while glancing at a magazine article for a couple of minutes I was then called back.(Quickest check in for a Dr office I have had)Dr. Anish greeted me and I expressed to him that I was looking for both a family Dr and cardiologist.He said well I was in the right place that they had both.I had a visit with him and his coworker who is the family doctor.So I got 2 Dr visits in one day, It was very time efficient for me.My schedule is busy and I don't have time to run all over the city to find different Dr's.It was a pleasant surprise having the 2 specialties in one place especially when your sick, exhausted the way I was today.I look forward to letting them figure things out over my present health conditions once they get their readings and labs together.Its refreshing for me, the patient, when Dr.offices are efficient, quick and organized like that.
This could've been a scary visit, but Dr. Koka and his nursing staff were wonderful. I appreciate him taking the time to walk me through my next visit's steps!
My experience at Dr. Koka's office was great! It was my first time seeing him, and I arrived 30 minutes early. The staff took me back right away, and I was actually finished with the appointment at the time that it was scheduled to start. Dr. Koka was thorough and friendly with a very good bedside manner. His staff were also very friendly and helpful. The office was very clean and nice.
Not impressed...Went to Dr Koka, and my first visit went well. He did an EKG and another test in-office to see where my discomfort was coming from. My issue is that he said if I was continuing to have further pain to come back. A week later I was and I called the office and the girl who answered the phone was giving me the run around about coming back. She put me on hold to talk to the doctor, then said I'll have to call you back... after calling me back she asked what my symptoms were again.. then said she was going to talk to the doctor again and call me back!!!! I waited for an hour and finally called her and said never mind I will go to my primary care doctor. She said "um, ok and hung up" This is no way to treat someone who is in discomfort. Clearly there was no caring or compassion for my concerns. I am curious to know if Dr.Koka knows this is how his secretary's are handling issues. For this reason I don't feel confident in the practice and will not be returing.
Always great!
Dr. Koka was very friendly and professional.
He was very friendly, asked lots of questions and very knowledgable. He did the tests required in his office and provided the results immediately. His new assistant, Dan was very professional and helpful. I would highly recommend him to others.
The staff was friendly, the visit was efficient, and I received answers to all of my questions and concerns
Wonderful and courteous staff at all points of appointment. Check in was very easy and efficient with minimal wait time. Once taken to room, all personnel were professional and thorough and very organized throughout process. Highly recommend!
Very efficient and nice staff and office
Zocdoc set me up with Dr. Koka despite the fact I only required primary care and he specializes in cardio...I felt pretty silly while in the waiting room, but Dr. Koka was super friendly and provided primary-care-expertise nonetheless (and even referred me to a primary care doc). Great experience.
I will never go back due to the doctor didn't want to listen to my needs and didn't do the check up that I asked for. I sat in the doctors room for about an hour after I waited 45 minutes in the waiting room. After I walked a long time just to get there I now have to schedule a another appointment with someone else and take more time off work.
Very personable and professional. Seen extremely quickly.
Office staff was pleasant. The technicians were efficient. Exam rooms clean and modern. Dr. Koka was well groomed, thorough in his questioning the purpose of my visit and pleasant to speak with. I recommend him as a cardiologist.
Excellent treatment, small waiting time. AAA!
This is my first visit. My first impression was that everyone was very polite. It was encouraging to have the PA (physician assistant) and the Doctor give feedback to my questions. Thank You.
Typical doctor's office. Everyone was polite. There were plenty of interesting magazines however I did not get to use them because there was virtually no wait time. I'm not complaining though. LOL
The office was busy and I had to wait about 15 mins past my time but the doc was very good and detailed. It was worth the wait.
Seemed like a good Doc. Not a primary care doctor though. He's classified inaccurately on this app. He's a cardiac Doc.
From time of checking in (was a few minutes late, because though I left time to arrive early, parking was a slight issue being center city Phila), to the time the doctor saw me was very brief. In fact the doctor had seen me before the triage nurse was there to take my vitals, which is very quick. I described my symptoms, and he had an immediate idea what to check for, without needing to generally check everything as might often happen with many practitioners. Within a minute or 2, he had the correct diagnosis, and a course of treatment readily available.
The visit was great! I was brought right back, my concerns were listened to and we started the process to figuring out what is going on. They were even able to start with two of the needed tests that day in order to save me a visit back.
The team at Dr. Koka's office is fantastic. I was seen right away, online paperwork was a breeze and the office is in perfect order. Dr. Koka and his NP were both with me during my visit and listened to my concerns and recommended specialists. I felt very well cared for and am looking forward to my followup with the Dr. Roselli in a few months.
It was short and sweet.
This doctor considers all of your concerns and does a thorough exam. Also explains what is going on.
Very good
Professional, prompt and friendly.
I had a very pleasant experience at my appointment. I had the first appointment of the day, I only waited a few minutes and the entire staff was very nice.
Made an appointment with Dr Koka within an hour after my first ZocDoc appointment unexpectedly canceled on me, same day. Not only was Dr Koka's office able to get me in same day, they took me in right away when I arrived 20 minutes early. Super friendly and efficient staff! Dr Koka is a Cardiologist, but I will be back for my annual physical with his colleague Dr Roselli later this year, who is an Internist. Great experience, I'm almost happy that the first doc cancelled on me!
Very professional, addressed my needs immediately
It was quick and easy! The staff was attentive and their use of tablets to note all patient information is a refreshing change to old systems. Dr. Koka has great bedside manner and insisted I follow up.
Very helpful, very nice and very informative. He also lays out options in a very friendly way, now my PCP
He was great!!!!!!!!
I like him and his practice is nice. good staff.
Professional, knowledgeable, courteous and truly care for their patients - Highly recommended.
My visit to Dr. Koka's office was the most pleasant and rewarding experience. I was met by the nurse, Donna with a smile that would make the sun stand still. My wait for the Dr. was no longer than ten mintues. The Dr. came in knowing my name and had reviewed the comments regarding my visit. The bedside manner of Dr. Koka was beautiful. He was warm, a good listener, and very concerned about my well being. I would recommend and encourage all my Family and Friends and others to CHECK HIM OUT!!!!!
