The procedure was quick and Dr. Thyssen was great and has a wonderful bedside manner. Put me at ease and came to see me right after the procedure to give me the report. Everyone was nice, professional and efficient. The anesthesiologist listed to me when I said I needed a light dose so I was in my feet and dressing myself in no time after the procedure. The nurse giving me the IV was great - got it the first time with minimum discomfort. Highly recommend them.

Dr Thyssen is the absolute best! He listens before and after the procedure. He communicates clearly. A great positive friendly attitude. And of course, technically, he is a pro in his field. He is surrounded by an equally fabulous and supportive staff. The staff is all female, and is proof that women should rule the world, as long as they keep Dr. Thyssen, around!
