Reviews
Dr. Thyssen’s kindness and patience exceed his considerable talents as a GI physician.
Dr. Thyssen is a fabulous physician and human being. He genuinely cares and listens like no other doctor that I’ve had over the years. He caught a serious problem needing surgery that was missed for years. The staff is kind and so professional.
Excellent care and interaction with the staff and Dr Thyssen!
Dr. Thyssen was very kind and professional. I didn't feel rushed in sharing my concerns. He listened well and gave good advice.
Dr Thyssen is a great doctor and very knowledgeable. His bedside manner is impeccable and he knows how to put his patients at ease. He explains things where you can understand with no problem. I had to wait to see him so that is why I didn't give 5 stars.
