Meet Dr. Jacob Koch
As the proud father of three young children, Dr. Koch (pronounced “coke”) has a very special perspective on orthodontic care. As he works with each patient, he thinks of the way he would treat his own children. He believes in being friendly and caring, while also providing wisdom and smart advice.
Dr. Koch received his Doctorate in Dental Surgery from the University of Maryland in Baltimore. After his dental training, he completed an additional two years in specialized orthodontics training at Louisiana State University.
In his quest to provide the best care possible, Dr. Koch actively participates in many professional organizations and study clubs, keeping himself up to date with the latest in orthodontic treatment and technology. He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, Georgia Dental Association, Georgia Association of Orthodontists and the Progressive Orthodontist Study Group.
Dr. Koch grew up in Las Vegas where he was involved in music, participating in piano performance competitions and state honor chorus. Together with his family, he now proudly calls Georgia home. He and his family have become involved in the community and are excited for what the future will bring.

Meet Dr. Kelsey Gass

changing that she decided to set her eyes on becoming an orthodontist.

While in dental school, she was involved in children’s ministry at her church as well as volunteered her time on mission trips to Guatemala where she worked with less fortunate families providing dental care.
Dr. Gass continued her pursuit of excellence in specialty training for Orthodontics at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio where she served as the chief resident. In her free time, she volunteered to work with Young Life Capernaum ministries where she enjoyed working with the special needs community.
