Michael O. Koch, MD - IU Health Urology - Downtown Indianapolis

Dr Koch is amazing. He took care of my baby brother when he had severe bladder cancer and just took care of my husband as well with prostate cancer. He is very polite and keeps you in formed with everything . Would HIGHLY recommend him.

Going on 3 weeks since my robotic prostatectomy and very pleased. Some pain the first few days and first week with a catheter is no fun. Almost none of the incontinence issues, I started doing the excersises over a month before surgery. Not sure if this is why but I'm happy. Glad I went with Dr Koch and his team. Thank you.

I had a very great experience at IU Health with Dr. Koch and his staff. My journey started in August 19th last year with an elevated psa test of 7.7 with my family doctor. I seen a urologist in a different city which he suggested a biopsy which it tested positive He explained my options, radiation or surgery, with my age being 72 he suggested seeing an oncologist. I went and talked to one which explained my situation very well, but I was not real excited about radiation I had already been leaning more toward surgery even at my age especially after talking with several different people, that had already been through a similar situation. And when I asked them who there doctor had been, the answer was always Dr. Koch. They all highly recommended Dr. Koch. After going to my first visit in Nov. to him I was very sold on surgery. It was set up for January. My case was not a normal one after a MRI the day before surgery showed that it was out of the my prostate into the neck of the Blatter being more difficult and of course scary to me. Dr. Koch thought radiation might still be needed after surgery, The surgery went great, The pathology report came back ,eight lymph nodes were checked and they were negative and seminole vessels nothing was detected and surgery margin was uninvolved. I just went back for my one month PSA blood check and it tested undetectable!! That was the best news I could have ever heard! Thank you Dr. Koch and your team. I couldn’t have made a better decision!!

I was diagnosed with T2 prostate cancer and my local urologist suggested I interview Dr Koch and a radiation oncologist to explore options. There is no one consistent choice for prostate cancer treatment, but even when it is slow growing, I was hoping for a fix that would last at least 15-20 years, at my current age. We selected the daVinci surgery option. Dr Koch has done many of these surgeries each month for many years. It's good to have that experience to put to work on your case. Dr Bock and then Dr Koch in the interview visit explained their perspective on my situation and were not rushed at all. I had 3 sheets of questions. We opted for surgery. The urology unit is very organized. After the visit, we were given all the appointments from pre-op to post-op, as well as the handouts needed to get familiar with the treatment. The pre-op MRI indicated that my cancer might be advanced to Stage 3. I was worried about whether the surgery strategy would change. I emailed Dr Koch and one evening he called at the house to talk with me about the MRI and his interpretation of my situation. Surgery was at IU North and all went as planned. He was able to remove it without nerve damage and the path reports showed clear margins and no spread to lymph nodes or vesicles. He went over the surgery before I was moved to the OR and he spent time with my spouse afterward and the next morning. He was also there in the one-week visit with the excellent path reports in hand. Best of all, at one month, my PSA was undetectable. Dr Koch removed my cancer with care, humility, great bedside manner, and never seemed rushed to get on to his next appointment. I would have to say that most of my appointments occurred 15-45 minutes later than scheduled, but maybe that is because he was spending the same deliberative time with the patients before me. I was happy to wait. I am pleased to recommend Dr Koch wholeheartedly.

On June 1, 2015 Dr. Koch performed my prostatectomy. Everything from my initial consult to being discharged post-surgery went perfectly. I would recommend IU/ Dr. Koch to anyone needing medical intervention in this area. I could not have asked for a better experience with a difficult situation. I left confident that the matter was 100% resolved. I just had my 6 month check-up and am cancer free!

My husband has been a patient of Dr Koch’s for almost 20 years. We drive 5 hours one way to see him. We actually look forward to the visits because of his wonderful staff and the knowledge, care , kindness and comfort level he has given us. Dr Koch is the best in every way possible.

He is the best. Would highly recommend him.
