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.

Dr. Thiele the consummate professional
We are septuagenarians and have been seeing Dr. Thiele for several years. He has been treating all my wife’s foot issues from Plantar Fasciitis and Tarsal Tunnel to corns and toenail issues. He is truly the consummate professional. He always listens intently and explains everything completely and understandably. Dr. Thiele has exemplary bedside manner. We trust him explicitly and recommend him to all our family and friends. Thank you, Dr. Thiele.

After suffering from Plantar fasciitis for almost a year, I went to see Dr. Thiele. He explained each step we were to take to relieve the pain I was in. After working together for some months, my foot is almost at 100% and I will begin taking long walks soon! Office staff is so kind, helpful and always smiling. Office is very clean. I would recommend him to any one of my family members (some of which already see him).

I’ll accompany my dad to all his doctor visits. He absolutely loves Dr Thiele. Very good at what he does. He never makes you feel rushed, and he’s always willing to listen. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend!
Went to Dr Thiele for bunions. The doctor took the time to explain what was needed and why. Had surgery on both feet, but different procedures based on the severity and recommendation of the doctor. I am very happy with the outcome of both. Dr Thiele and the entire staff were friendly and helpful.

I took my 92-year-old mother who fell and shattered her leg. If you or a loved one needs orthopedic expertise, go to Dr. Thiele. He is a gifted physician who makes difficult situations as easy as possible. He's experienced, efficient, knows his way around the hospital. We are lucky to have found him.

Excellent Foot Care
I had an excellent experience not only in dealing with the office staff but also with Dr. Thiele. The procedure to minimize an ingrown toenail was quick and painless. The Doctor prescribed a liquid antibiotic along with epsom salt soaks to expedite the healing process. The follow-up visit one week later was also quick resulting in just a band-aid on the affected toe. Ingrown toenails are always painful when pressed upon by a shoe. I highly recommend consulting with Dr. Thiele about a more permanent resolution to the problem.

I could not be happier with my experience with Dr. Thiele. I was nervous to see a doctor for years about my painful bunions, but from the moment I meant him I felt comfortable and in good hands. He performed surgery on both my feet over the span of two years and I could not be happier with the outcome. I will always appreciate his honesty and patience to answer all my questions throughout the process. He is professional and smart yet extremely funny and friendly and put all my concerns at ease!

After a very poor outcome on my left foot bunion surgery, I searched for 2 years for a podiatrist to do that surgery on my right foot. I found that person in Dr. Robert Thiele. I now have a perfect, normal looking foot! The bunion is gone, and the hammer toe is now a normal toe! Dr. Thiele is skilled and highly experienced, so he is familiar with all the challenges involved in this surgery. He was accommodating in any request I made, and answered every question with care and patience. He was even helpful with unrelated issues with my other foot. He gained my complete confidence and I actually looked forward to every office visit. He has my gratitude for a great outcome, and I would highly recommend him to anyone for any foot challenge you may have. My only regret is that I didn’t go to him for my first surgery!

I have been going to Dr Thiele for over a decade. He was the only doctor after taking my daughter for treatment to 2 other doctors and having bad experiences to treat her issue correctly. One visit with him and within a month her issue had been resolved! I recently had bunion surgery and all I heard was how that surgery is the most painful surgery you’d ever have! The surgery couldn’t have gone smoother. No pain whatsoever! Recovery couldn’t have gone better! If you are contemplating having bunion surgery but have been scared off by what you have heard I would highly recommend Dr Thiele! I will be scheduling to have my other foot done in a few months.

When I was recently hospitalized a family member recommended Dr. Thiele to me as my regular podiatrist did not go to the hospital and treat my foot which prior to my hospital stay had been treating it for a few months . I'm a health care professional and know how important it is to have the right Dr. treat you. Even though I thought my podiatrist was very good after meeting with Dr. Thiele I switched. I've found Dr. Thiele to be very knowledgeable, caring, kind, and compassionate. He listens to your concerns and fully explains to you what he is doing and gives you options for treatments and his recommendations. He has even assisted in streamlining the process to get in to see specialists when treating me. Words cannot describe how pleased I am with Dr. Thiele and would highly recommend him to other patients. I'm sure that if not for Dr. Thiele my outcome would not of ended as well.
