JOSEPH J. KOCH, DVM
 |
Dr. Joseph J. Koch started his veterinary career at Lincoln Land Animal Clinic in 1989 when it was strictly a large animal practice. Dr. Joe expanded the practice to include small animal medicine and surgery into the clinic you all know and love today. Dr. Joe graduated from the University of Illinois Veterinary Medicine program in 1988 and continues to practice both large and small animal medicine.
Dr. Joe can often be seen in his overalls on farm calls or in his Cookie Monster scrubs at the office. Veterinary medicine continues to intrigue Dr. Joe, and he finds true joy in helping animals and their owners.
When he’s not working, Dr. Joe can be found playing guitar, volunteering at his church, cheering for the St. Louis Cardinals, or going for walks with his wife, Dr. Colleen Koch, and their Icelandic sheepdog, Kennari.
