    How was your appointment with Dr. Van Thiel?

    Feb 28, 2023
    Dr. Van Thiel took the time to explain what was causing my knee pain along with how much longer I have until my knee is fully healed. We also discussed my treatment options, and he gave me the time to decide what would be best for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Van Thiel.
