          Personal

          On a personal note, practicing in Tacoma means a great deal to Dr. Kokich. It's where his dad practiced orthodontics for 35 years and it's where he's been fortunate to build relationships with patients throughout his professional life. Dr. Kokich lives right here in Tacoma, WA. His other passions include: golf, skiing, and just spending time with his wife, Michelle, and their four children (Maddy, Nick, Luke, and Kate).
