Best medical professional I've encountered. I am extremely happy to recommend Dr. Thielen as an outstanding orthopedic surgeon and physician. I was very close to complete disability and my entire health was spiraling downward from a bone on bone hip joint from many years prior than that of normal degeneration. Even during the height of the pandemic, Dr. Thielen safely got me into surgery and back home in the same day. I was immediately relieved from continuous debilitating pain i had experienced for over 18 months. My recovery process was incredibly smooth with no surprises or setbacks. I have experienced an exceptional amount of surgeries, orthopedic and otherwise. I can whole heartedly express that this surgery was absolutely the most positive and I felt truly supported by Dr. Thielen throughout the entire process. He is professional, mindful and caring at every turn. I am beyond grateful for this experience as my life has completely turned around and I feel as though I've been able to reverse some aging as I am fully active and doing all the things I once enjoyed. I have my health back!
