I was in for a pre surgery Dr check. Everything went very smooth, with any questions answered. The surgery procedure was explained in a way that was easy to understand, as well as what the process will look like after surgery during the recovery. His staff is also fantastic, very helpful.

Dr Thiel is very thorough with the findings and also the repair when he talks to you. He always has a smile for you and very prompt with both yours and his time. I have had many drs in the past but Dr Thiel is far the best. He has done a complete reversal shoulder replacement and also a hip replacement on me in the last 10 months and did an excellent job. I wouldn’t suggest any one else.
