        Dr Thiel never rushes which I like. He trashes his time and listens. If a doctor rushes then they do not listen or hear a patient and the patient is left feeling not heard and angry

        I appreciate the time Dr. Thiel spends with me and the way he tailors the appointment to my needs. I feel comfortable discussing things with him, and I feel like I am "driving the bus" when it comes to making decisions on my healthcare. Certainly the exception rather than the rule in the healthcare world these days. Probably the main reason I'm willing to drive all the way across town to see my PCP.

        I'm grateful I did my research before choosing a new provider in the area and found Dr. Thiel - he's excellent and listens and shows genuine concern. He is smart and knows what he's talking about when he does; when he isn't sure, he does his research. He cares and takes his time and refers you to the right people.

        I visited with Dr. Tiel at many apts. For my sister and was greatly impressed with this doctor. This culminated into my decision to leave my long time care at another practice. He is so intelligent, highly informed on every aspect of internal medicine, caring and communicative. I believe I've hit the lottery of internal medicine doctors. He's amazing!
