When ever you show up for your appointment, it takes at least 30 to 45 min for doctor to approach to you. What is the point of appointment for the procedure that take 3-5 min, if you will always waste 30-40 minutes. Doctor took a tissue speciment and sent it for exam, never mantioned that later you will receive bill from someone to pay for it. They should explain it to the patient.

I am about 5 days post op after having my horrible bunion corrected. The procedure was fast & over with in about 2 hours. I’ve had the bunion since childhood and I made it a personal goal to get it corrected before I hit my 30s. I’ve never been able to wear heels and it was to the point where even gym shoes caused searing/stabbing pain because the lace always happened to run over the bunion. I am so happy with the results so far— I barely feel any pain at all and the care/education I’ve received so far has been very up to par. I’ve been joking that I actually have no pain now because my bones are finally in the right place after 28 years of being misaligned. Dr. T said the bunion was so severe that I’m lucky to not have had hammer toes or arthritis. I Got my bandages changed today and I’m amazed at how straight my foot finally looks. Thank you so much Dr. T I feel like I’m “stepping” into a new life!

Dr. Tegan Thimesch took care of my obliterated joint in my big toe. I was in tremendous pain when I first walked into his office. From diagnosis, to surgery, to post-OP he was a complete professional. He explained everything from start to finish and followed through to a T. Highly recommended.

I came to Dr. Thimesch for a second opinion and Im so happy that I did. I was initially treated at Stroger Trauma Center after having my foot run over by a car and they told me that I was fortunate and had no broken bones. They discharged me and told me that I can walk out, which was not possible due to the extreme pain. I went to Dr. Thimesch and he ordered an MRI and found 4 serious fractures. I was put in a boot, given a knee rover and crutches, which I used for months after. The doctor was very transparent about the injuries and the next steps, he treated my injuries with such professionalism and patience. Its been 5 months since the injury and I am still happily working with him. I highly recommend him. His staff are also amazing and definitely put me at ease with all the anxiety I had over my injury.

I have been a patient of Dr. Thimesch since 2017 when I had a bunion surgery on each foot, 11 days apart. I ended up having a cyst and neuroma a year later and DR. T did those surgeries as well.I was really nervous to have the bunion surgery in general just from all the negative blogs from women who had terrible experiences.I was also very overwhelmed at choosing a doctor to do the surgery since there are SO many different doctors who all practice different methods out there. When I first found out I would need surgery, I really just thought it would be black and white, meaning there’s just one or two different methods but it’s alarming at just how many different styles are being practiced.I was 29 years old when the first doctor suggested doing a method that would fuse my joint together and I would be on crutches for 3-6 months per foot. Oh man, I got a second opinion right away from Dr. Thimesch and I am so thankful I did. Dr. T, explained how the other doctors surgery suggestion would have made me lose range of motion in my foot forever, not being able to ever bend my toe again. That is scary and was not explained to me by the first doc.I ended up choosing Dr. T for many reasons I found to be the most important when selecting a surgeon.I also loved his Swiss method which there are only a a few doctors in the US that are skilled at that method. The best part was not needing crutches at all and I had less downtime. I started walking in a surgical show in a week.I chose DrT for the reasons below!He is very direct and straight to the point, not the coddling kind. He does NOT tell you what you want to hear but instead he tells you what you NEED to hear! I loved that. He’s exceptionally skilled and you would be crazy not to have him take care of your podiatry needs!Nothing against newer doctors... but Dr. T has over 30 years of experience, that alone made me feel at ease. He has seen it all in podiatry, and that’s comforting when having major surgery.His surgical assistant Wendy is wonderful. Wendy is very knowledgeable and helpful with assisting Dr. T. In great hands all around the board.
