Reviews
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 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. I can’t enough. Top notch care .
I absolutely Love Dr Thyssen. I’ve been with him for some 10+yrs now.. Happily so. He’s a wonderful Dr. He has a Very caring..& kind manner… U feel safe in his hands. Not just another number on a strict 15min schedule.. as is the case with so many Drs these days… U truly feel he cares.. &takes the time to really investigate, to discover the issue. His NP’s are also of the same caliber, as are his office staff. Every single person, in my decade+ of experience with them, has treated me with the utmost respect, consideration, care & kindness. I would Absolutely recommend him/them to Anyone. - Especially as Everyone Should Get A Colonoscopy. It’s as easy as taking a nap, & it Just Could.. Save Ur Life!!
Dr. Thyssen has been my G.I. Doctor for many years, he's very friendly, knowledgeable & professional. His office staff are friendly, professional & helpful. My appointments are usually on time with very little time spent waiting. I highly recommend this office.
I am so pleased with Dr. Thyssen. He is compassionate & has a wonderful sense of humor. Dr. Thyssen was my mother’s doctor & she had colon cancer. I knew just how I would choose a gastroenterologist, as Dr. Thyssen gave my mother wonderful care. I’m also glad the “pills” for prep were okayed by FDA! They make prep a slice of cake!(Andrea) Jill Nordin, Mt. Vernon, IL
Check in & pre check in went smoothly. Nursing , technical staff and anesthesia went smoothly. Dr Thyssen has been following my challenging health problem and I'm anxious to see what the next steps are for full recovery.
