"Well, I waited several months to write this because my I was actually looking for something bad to say about my Doctor and his staff. For those who like inside scoop gossip, this review is going to be boring because there is nothing bad to say! My first impression of Doctor Thies was just what I had hoped for, he came in and gave a good, firm hand shake. I have actually changed family doctors in the past because of whimpy hand shakes, this was extremely important to me. Maybe it's just a guy thing, but I feel that a firm hand shake from someone shows a certain confidence level and also shows that me that I don't intimidate them. That's what I wanted from my doctor - confidence, no intimidation, and skill! His office staff is the absolute best, always nice, all my appointments have even been on time with no waiting! I wish I had his nurses while I was in the hospital! Dr. Thies also offers much information and is extremely receptive to the questions and concerns one may have. Nothing he says is candy-coated, as this is a major operation with certain risks and problems can and do occasionally occur. He stresses this point and applies no pressure, you are given the facts and the decision is yours. Day of Surgery - I did see Dr. Thies the morning of the surgery, but vagely remember the visit due to the kewl drug given to me! (I only remember him coming in after my mom reminded me). He was there shortly after I woke up in recovery room to check me out, stayed in constant communication with my family, and visited me every morning and evening while I was in the hospital. His bed-side manner is as good as his surgical skills, I feel so lucky to have such a great doctor! I wish I had some negative things to say so this doesn't seem like a B.S. post, but I don't ... sorry! If you want negative, read about my treatment when I got to my regular room!<br><br>
There's my boring review, I have to give my Doctor and his staff an 11 out of 10! If you chose Doctor Thies as your doctor, feel assured that you have picked a very skilled surgeon that will bend over backwards to make sure things go well. I can't say enough good stuff about him, he is the best!
