Dr.Kole is absolutely the best of the best. Going in with a very scary diagnosis he professionally, empathically, and warmly presented the plan of care and lots of reassurance. I always felt confident that he would lead me back to wellness and he did that and more. Even after treatment he was engaged and interested in my health during all the follow up. I am grateful to Dr. Kole and the entire team at Valley for outstanding care and compassion.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in late 2018 and was given a choice of treatments, radiation or surgery, as well as 'wait and see'.  Dr Kole described the radiation process thoroughly and patiently, gaining my trust in his competence and the effectiveness of the treatment.

Dr Kole and the amazing staff at Valley Health Systems made the entire process almost fun, well as fun as cancer treatment can be.

I am now a few years in remission without any side-effects that were surprises to me. If you are in the same situation I was in, go see Dr Kole for a consultation, you wont regret it.

Getting a prostate cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things to go through.   There was so much concern and uncertainty with it.

I consider myself fortunate that my doctor sent me to see Dr. Kole to explore radiation treatment.  Not only was he very calm and reassuring throughout the entire process, but the staff at Valley Health was also terrific.  Dr. Kole took the time to explain every step of my treatment and the potential side effects that may occur.   From the outset, he gave me  the sense that this was manageable and that I was in good hands.

If anyone gets a similar diagnosis, I recommend an appointment with Dr. Kole.   He and his staff were amazing to work with.

I was successfully treated by Dr. Kole in 2018 for neck cancer.  When I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in 2020 I requested  Dr. Kole as my Radiation Oncologist.
As with my previous experience,  Dr. Kole’s professionalism gave me confidence that I was in excellent hands.  He was very generous with his time and always answered all of my questions.
I highly recommend Dr. Kole to anyone seeking this specialty.

Diagnosed with Prostate cancer in 2020 and started radiation with Dr. Kole and his team in November finishing right before Christmas.  Obviously, there is considerable concern about the prognosis but Dr. Kole and he team spent considerable time explaining the process , various steps and the outcomes and I felt extremely confident being is their hands.   The tech specialists who administered the radiation were beyond kind and supportive.

I also had the opportunity tp meet the other Doctors who work with Dr. Kole and all are great listeners and willing to spend whatever time is necessary to help.

Great experience, you couldn't be in better hands.     Joe Reich

There are no words to express my gratitude to Dr. Kole. My husband has small intestinal cancer that has unfortunately metastasized.  He was told that neither surgery or radiation is an option due to the invasive surgeries that he has already underwent and because of the location of the cancer, radiation would not be an option either. He received chemotherapy treatments and as a result the tumor grew.  I decided to do some research and came across Dr. Kole at Valley Health System. We were not going through Valley but after reading his credentials and some of the reviews, we decided to go for a consult.  There is no cure for this type of cancer but my husband was suffering with pain.  The pain medications were not working and he was really feeling defeated.  Dr. Kole came up with a plan and a week later my husband underwent a week of radiation therapy.  Approximately a month later, he went for a CAT scan and he is stable! Not only is he stable - his pain has diminished significantly!  He is off most of the pain medications and once again living an active lifestyle.  We are optimistic, even though we know that it will rear it's ugly head again.  We have since switched all of his care to Valley and feel that we are in excellent hands.  Getting a second opinion is a must and I'm so very glad that we did!

The Valley Luckow Center is an excellent, professional, treatment center.  The entire staff is gracious, professional, dedicated and know their field.
Dr. Kole diagnosed and treated my condition when others were unsure of the diagnosis.  I cannot say enough in praise or in gratitude.
Such a medical situation can be frightening.  it's good to know you are in the right hands.

Being under the knowledgeable, attentive, gentle and proficient health care of Dr. Thomas Kole and his entire team, as a patient undergoing prostatic cancer treatment via their incredibly accurate SBRT cancer treatment system, has been nothing short of an amazingly successful journey and personal medical experience. They made me feel unafraid and  like “family”, as I faced a difficult decision and time, in my life. And never once did I feel like I was in a “hospital” , as their environment felt so warmly welcoming, as well as being immaculately clean. Thank you Dr. Thomas Kole and team!

I was introduced to Dr Kole and his entire staff from my urologist due to a high PSA, and it was determined that I had  prostate cancer.
I then met with Dr Kole in his office and he explained the treatment he suggested in great detail and the possible side effects that       I might experience.
Dr Kole recommended radiation treatments that lasted several weeks. During this period of time I was contacted by Dr Kole and his office thru out the treatment multiple times.
I received a direct call from Dr Kole 2 months after my treatments and wanted to know how  I am doing and do I have any issues . His assistant then asked me to make another appointment 2 months from now.
The objective is to make sure that the treatment will further reduce my PSA.
During this period Dr Kole and his office called me asking me how I was feeling and how I was dealing with some of the side effects and did I need to see or talk with the Doctor.
Dr Kole and his staff including Valley Hospital were the most professional and experienced group of Doctors, nurses and technicians I have ever experienced.
