Treatment at Phoenix Cyberknife
I had a malignant focus in my abdomen that Dr Kresl treated with Cyberknife. On follow up imaging it was completely gone. I had minimal side effects, mild fatigue. Dr Kresl and his team were professional, efficient and compassionate. As a physician myself I highly recommend them.Dr Sheri Ford

Top notch care
Dr Kresl made me feel confident about my treatment and positive about the outcome. He was thorough, knew about my specific case, and assured me his staff was hand picked and I would get top notch care. I completed all 45 treatments with excellent care and compassion from the whole team!

Successfully treated
Dr. Kresl and the entire staff, techs and nurses at CyberKnife were incredible! They were kind, compassionate, and could not have treated me better during my 20 treatments for skin cancer. It was the best option to avoid disfiguring surgery. Thank you hardly seems adequate! I will recommend CyberKnife and Dr. Kresl To everyone in need of radiation treatment.

Dr. Kresl is highly recommended!
Dr. Kresl and his staff were professional and compassionate throughout the radiation treatment regime. Ongoing care is provided weekly by either Dr. Kresl or assigned NP to monitor and review symptoms and progress throughout treatment. The treatment team nurse was always available to consult by telephone if there were concerns regarding symptoms arising during treatments. It is mentally a shock (not to mention the physical aspects) to hear a cancer diagnosis. It was comforting to feel the patient is heard and remarkable what a difference it makes to have such a caring and competent treatment team for handling a cancer diagnosis. Thank you and grateful to know there is hope and help to address a potential life-threatening illness.

FABULOUS EXXPERIENCE
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in early 2022. I went to see Dr Kresl and was very impressed with his bedside manner, his willingness to spend as much time as I wanted to explain the approach he felt was best for my situation. We began (almost immediately) to do radiation therapy and hormone therapy.His crew of nurses and radiation specialists are the best I have ever experienced. Their attitude, professionalism, cheerfulness and teasing made me feel right at home. I actually looked forward to each treatment just because seeing their cheerful faces boosted my moral.If you are ever in need of radiation therapy, see Dr Kresl and the wonderful crew at Cyberknife.

Highly skilled Radiation Oncologist
In early 2023 I was diagnosed with lung cancer with metastasis to the spine, which caused me a great deal of pain in my back. Dr. J. Kresl did SRBT (Cybernife radiation) to my thoracic spine area in April 2023; fast forward 4 months and my spine is literally pain free and I can walk again without pain !! Dr. Kresl is a very good and knowledgeable doctor and his staff is very caring and professional. Thank you Dr. Kresl and the entire team at the Phoenix Cyberknife for saving my spine !!!! I am still planning to return and do SBRT to the lung area. Your loyal patient,Bozena Reszka

Restored hope & healing!
I had no expectations nor any idea how Dr. Kresl would change the trajectory of my health. To this day & for all days, I am & will continue to be very grateful to him & his staff at Phoenix Cyberknife. While researching other options to treat my brain tumor, I came across radiation. But not just any. Cyberknife radiation. It sounded too good to be true. So I emailed them via their website. I never expect to hear back from them since I hadn’t heard back from another, well-known office. It was Dr. Kresl saying yes, they can help. From the moment of the consultation to my very recent 1yr check up, he & his staff have not only taken such good care of me, they are kind, caring, & always available to answer my questions. Karen, in particular, is amazing! It’s been almost 2 yrs since my radiation treatment & not a day has passed where I don’t say a silent “thank you” to them. If you’re looking at possible options for your treatment, call them!

Essentially cured
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and professional. We were always treated with compassion and respect. All of our questions were addressed and my treatments were timely. For other than a frightening diagnosis, my experience of treatment was well handled.

IT'S THE PEOPLE.
IT’S THE PEOPLE! I am finishing up my Radiation treatment for Prostate Cancer and would like to offer some feedback on my treatment at Phoenix Cyberknife with Dr. Kresl and his staff. I have to say it was a pleasant experience. Considering the treatments, that is a high compliment. Modern medicine and modern technology are WONDERFUl! But, as great as all that is, what made this treatment pleasant was THE PEOPLE! Dr Kresl himself is a kind, friendly, and a very knowledgeable doctor who puts the patient’s needs first and treats them with dignity and kindness. His hand picked staff are AMAZING! Always a smile and genuine concern for the patient. All of them are dedicated to their jobs, and fully trained and knowledgeable about all aspects of the treatment process. Always ready to answer questions and offer reassurances about the treatment process.

An alternative to prostate radiation treatment
The usual prostate radiation treatment takes 30 to 40 days. The Phoenix cyberknife treatment takes 5 days. The difference is due to stronger radiation for fewer days. I interviewed Dr Kresl, the head man at Phoenix Cyberknife, and he explained that the robotic radiation is very precise and it only takes about half and hour for five days . Dr Kresl was very knowledgeable and explained the whole procedure in very simple terms. I have just finished the 5 day radiation treatment for my prostate cancer and there was no pain involved and I am 91. In addition the technician who oversaw my treatments was both professional and made sure I was in the right position for each treatment. All in all the Cyberknife staff were all very helpful and in my opinion my trust in Dr Kresl has been fully repaid

Very Compassionate!!
A little over 2 1/2 years now since being treated by Dr. Kresl at Cyberknife. With the continued follow up this week our benchmark was reached with a PSA reading of below 1.0 for a 60 year old. The treatment was invasive and a big success after being diagnosed with early stage 2 prostate cancer with very few side effects. THANK YOU to Dr. KRESL and his staff for answering all my questions and guiding me through the SUCCESSFUL treatment process and follow up at CYBERKNIFE.

MOST CARING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE RADIOLOGIST DR. :)!
Words aren’t enough to express how thankful my family and I are to Dr. Kresl and his entire staff! When my husband and I met Dr. Kresl, he made us feel at home. He took the time to explain everything about my case, and he responded to every question we had with so much knowledge and, (most importantly to us), so much empathy. This wonderful man projects love through his eyes and his words. Every member of his staff treated me as if I was literally their relative, from the receptionists to his entire team of technicians/nurses. I finished my treatments knowing I had been in the best hands I could’ve ever been. As I said it before, I feel blessed to have met Dr. Kresl and his wonderful team! God is so good!! THANK YHOU!

My experience with Dr. Kresl and the entire staff at Phoenix Cyberknife was outstanding. First, when you find out you have cancer and that rocks your world you then search for the best of the best.....of the best. I did a lot of studying and decided to talk with Dr. Kresl. My wife and I were comfortable from the first minute to the treatment suggestions to the actual treatment. As much as we admire Dr. Kresl the best part was that the staff was caring, courteous and professional. I had 9 weeks of radiation and the staff ended up feeling like family. Dr. Kresl has a top shelf operation from the time you enter the office until your last treatment is finished. There's nothing, absolutely nothing that I would complain about from the initial appointment to the last treatment to the followups I'm doing quarterly now. I'm sure there's other great places to be treated but I would never think of using anyone except Phoenix Cyberknife and Dr. Kresl and crew.
