My experience today did not have anything to do with the staff, they were lovely and made me feel very comfortable. That made me calm down because I have anxiety and going into unknown places is not easy for me. So I appreciated that very much. It was the doctor that made my visit unpleasant.

This was my first time meeting Dr. Theiss. I was impressed that she had taken the time to review my records and knew about my conditions when she came in the room. She is very friendly and has laid out a good plan of action.

The front desk staff was fabulous, and the nurse I had could not have been nicer or more caring. This was my first time meeting Dr. Theiss - she was nice and I am grateful that she wrote me an Rx to help with my recurrent UTIs. However, I do feel that she was minimizing my issue - I had 4-5 UTIs within a 10 month span, and she kept saying that I've only had 2 in a year. I also felt judged about not trying to have children and like she was trying to convince me that I should have children? That felt very inappropriate and unprofessional.

Dr Theiss was the most caring attentive doctor I've seen in a long time... and I've seen a lot of doctors! I was unbelievably impressed with her. It was obvious to me that she cares about her staff and in turn I could see the great respect they had for her. I would send any friend or family member to her and that office in a heartbeat.
