Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I found Dr. Thieme thoughtful and professional.
At my final follow-up appt., Dr. Thieme took the time to put a detailed note in my record re previous surgery unrelated to the one she did so that future providers would understand possible like scar tissue issues they would encounter. Extremely helpful and important information for my future health needs.

Heartless!
Doctors, like her, should not be in practice! My appt. was a complete waste of my time, energy, and money as I live an hour away. The only reason why I saw her was because I went to a Breast Fair in Sept. and spoke to her CRNP, Kelli. She spoke highly of her and said she could help me; that she was different from all other surgeons! I agree, she was very different but not in a positive light! Very uncaring! She didn't even examine the open wound. I could tell the minute she walked in, that this was not going to be a good experience for me! I was in total disbelief the way she spoke to me and the things that she said! In her progress notes, she had so many facts that were not even true! I am so glad I don't put my trust in doctors but in God! I saw her reviews before I went to the appt. but wanted to believe what Kelli had said about her. Big mistake! Listen to these reviews!

Forgot to send in prescription, very uncaring and very rough in rectal exam. Poor diagnosing and follow up. Doesn't care about her patients. Avoid this doctor.

I had a very sensitive and difficult surgery with a long and painful recovery. I was prescrbed pain meds, but couldn't take them. This was not her fault. I found her to be very empathetic, sincere, comforting and discrete. She was very thorough in explaining the procedure and after care. The staff was very nice there too. I would recommend her to anyone and would see her again if needed

Explained the operation really clearly, made sure my family knew and called them with updates, has seen me several times after and always is helpful; even worked me in when I came in on the wrong day by accident so I didn't have to come back.

Dr. Thieme is a skilled surgeon. I have been seeing her for several years now and she's treated me for multiple conditions. I feel that she is one of the best surgeons in the area.

She is nice through surgery.. then once you have surgery.. she washes her hands of you. Will not help you. I had complications, and she released me from her practice.
