Even though I was a little late to the appointment still able to be seen. Dr took longer than normal to get in the room which was OK that day. Never did get a visual on my follow up which I kind of thought it was hard just took my word for stuff but I’m not always the best an explanation. But I’m still pretty satisfied.

Front desk was excellent. Dr. Thekk is an S tier doctor and surgeon. I’m very thankful for saving my life.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/19/2022
Dr. Thekk did not listen to me nor did he perform the services I requested. When I asked for feedback- his response was: I don’t know. That is not an acceptable answer coming from a Dr. With no additional follow up such as: but let me find out. He also insinuated that I was lying about the advice given from the Dr. he referred me to for additional services that he could/would not perform! I will never go to this Dr again.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/5/2021
I liked the fact during the consultation that he explained my condition to where it all makes sense because no one really sat down and explained to me the condition I have. I basically researched it myself to try and help me understand it. He was very informative and he cares about his patients. He was honest stating there are really no answers but we will keep an eye out if future flares occur and monitor but right now I am not in a danger zone

This is a Doctor who will focus on you. One who will get to the bottom and the root cause of issues and communicate with other physicians and specialists to get the patient the help they deserve. Dr. Thekk was there for me from the very beginning from my pre diagnosed Crohn’s to remission and continuing to check on me and my progress. I would recommend anyone to this man who is requiring his services. He is upfront doesn’t rush appointments and answers questions honestly in his professional opinion.
