I am 61 and this was the worst medical encounter I have ever had. The dentist was arrogant, rude and almost MEAN and seemed only concerned about himself. He actually read me the riot act!!! There was no medical concern at all. Zero compassion, empathy or even asked if I was in pain. I just called and wanted my antibiotics refilled until I could get to my appt in August. (The staff got me in the next day). He refused to refill it and when I asked if he was going to even look at the abscess, he said ' No, why should I'. If you are not here for the procedure (surgery) I just inconvenienced him and his staff and wasted his time, someone else could have been in the chair instead of me. No one told me that I was to have surgery right there and then. They called at 9:30 and told me to be there at 4. I really only asked to have him look at it when I called. I was totally clueless and then they canceled my August appt. and made the next surgery date for October. Nope I will find someone else.

Dr Theisen was very very quick in performing my root canal several years ago, Unfortunately, he moved very quickly between patients. In my opinion, he wasn't as careful as he should have been with my procedure. Therefore, he left a very long lasting bad impression that will not go away.

I felt like I was an inconvenience to his day. No eye contact, answered my questions with very short answers. My dentist sent me there and I was so disappointed. Needless to say I did not choose him for my dental work. His office staff was wonderful though. He could learn a lot from them on treating patients professionally. Unfortunately, others I talked to afterwards felt the same way as I did. Wish I knew that before I went for my consult with him.

Great service!! Dr. Thiessen explained everything thoroughly and the procedure was painless. His staff was also very helpful filing my insurance. I would definitely go back if I need another root canal.

Dr. Thiessen and his staff went out of their way to take care of a problem with a dental crown. I was in severe pain and was able to get in for the initial consult and had a root canal completed all in one visit, due to a sudden cancellation. They were very professional and showed great concern for me. Post procedure I have had no pain, swelling or sensitivity. I would highly recommend their services.
