Reviews
One of the best doctors I have ever had. Spends time to make sure he understands what’s going on and always has the right solution. Wouldn’t trust anyone else.
Love the personableness of Dr. Thyssen! The rest of the staff is also pleasant and helpful.
I have every confidence in Dr Thyssens care. His staff is always pleasant.
First visit with Dr Thyssen after many years with another doctor at SIG. I was very pleased with his thoroughness and style and look forward to future dealings with him!
This is my third procedure over the years at the center. I am very satisfied with the office, facility and especially Dr Thyssen. Dr Thyssen is an excellent physician. Everyone made an unpleasant but necessary procedure as comfortable as possible. Thank to everyone, the CRNA, Nena , procedure RN , the tech , and of course Dr Thyssen. The care received was excellent and compassionate . You are treated with dignity and kindness throughout your stay . Excellent, well organized and efficient, most importantly exemplary patient care.
