Gregory C Thiel, DDS

Quick, honest (watch for crooked dentists with high overhead they can lie about cavities). Efficient operation we were out in 45 minutes with two kids!
Nice guy

My four kids have been coming here for years. I love the service Dr. Thiel and his team provides. I highly recommend them.

My 7yo daughter loves going to the dentist and asks when we can go back. Doesn’t that say enough?
Aside from all the kid specific creature comforts they provide (toys and games in the waiting room, movies on the ceiling during procedures, prize box at the end), both Dr. Thiel and his staff totally GET kids. They speak to them on their level without babying them. I don’t know if its his screening during hiring or his training, but everyone that has ever interacted with my daughter there is just perfect for the job.
My daughter’s first experience at the dentist (another dentist that billed himself as a pediatric dentist) was horrible. He did very little to comfort her, and got visibly agitated with her when she wiggled because she was scared of the instruments. Dr. Thiel’s office was such a huge contrast, and a huge sigh of relief.
After her cleaning and exam, Dr. Thiel always takes the time to explain everything that’s going on with her teeth, what to expect at this and coming ages, and never seems impatient or in a rush, despite the fact that he’s juggling a pretty full office.
Can’t recommend him enough.

So perfect.
They are very attuned to different children’s personalities and needs, and we all love going to the dentist as a result. Even getting a cavity filled for my shy, hesitant child was a breeze, because she now TRUSTS them. Thank you Dr. Thiel and your tremendously loving and generous staff.

They don’t get much better than this guy. His bedside manner and modern equipment is great. About as kid friendly as they come. So happy we found him. Appts book months in advance… so book them and keep them.

I’m convinced that Dr. Thiel and his team are the best pediatric dentistry office in the world. Granted, I have never been anywhere else. But I am an extremely discerning parent when it comes to my child’s healthcare, (or anything related to him for that matter.) To that effect, I tried four different pediatricians before landing on ours (Dr. Tarrant at Lake Austin Pediatrics). I found Dr. Thiel on Unilocal and for our first visit they were scheduled five months out. I don’t know about you, but this is a great sign in my book. We have since become regulars and my son always looks forward, (yes he is EXCITED for the dentist) every visit. The office is spotless, the staff is marvelous. They take extra time before even asking the kids to open their mouths to converse and laugh and become comfortable and at ease in the chair. Dr. Thiel himself is a very competent and trustworthy doctor, I would recommend him to anyone. Also worth noting– my husband and I are both self employed and do not have family health insurance and I feel that the rates are affordable.

I don’t think I can find enough good words to express my happiness with Dr. Thiel and his amazing staff. After getting a bit of a shock at another dentist, I wanted a second opinion and some less invasive options for my 2 little ones teeth. They both had definite cavities in same exact tooth (likely a genetic issue unavoidable due to amount of grooving on the teeth, which I didn’t find out until I visited Thiel dentistry) but a lot of work was shocking to me given that I had a far worse diet when I was little. The office is clean and fun for kids, the staff are efficient and quick at processing everything, and everyone explains everything that is being done, proposed, etc. It was so great that my two little ones didn’t want to leave the office AFTER their fillings were done. The procedure was minimially medicated, VERY fast and efficient and well explained. There were no ill effects from the whole procedure and Dr. Thiel even called to check on them that night, which seems so rare nowadays! We have great guidance on how to take care of the teeth and avoided some very expensive work that seemed ridiculous for baby teeth about to fall out. Highly recommend!

Here we are. Four years later, after writing my first review for Dr. Thiel. What has changed? Well, our family of four became a family of six. yep. We added two more kids. So what does this mean? 2 more patients for Dr. Thiel!
And what can I say. he is still the best! His office staff is amazing, his office is clean and fun. Shoot, I wish I was a patient here!
You will have to call to find out if they are taking new patients. A couple of times, my friends have said he was on halt for newbies. I can totally understand that. This man is busy. Did I mention he’s awesome?
My only complaint would be for the building he is in. He’s on the 3^rd floor of a very busy complex. The parking sucks. Especially when you are lugging your whole clan through the parking lot. The spots are small, and made for compact cars. Kinda hard to park your mom van. Also, for some reason, they are always renovating so the elevators can be a little creepy with the blankets hanging around to protect the mirrors.
But whatevs! We would go through a dark alley in east Austin to see Dr. Thiel!

The office is clean and convenient (to several major highways). Bebe, Lily, and Dr. Thiel are all fantastic. Gentle, kind, friendly, and patient. Perfect with kids. Overall the most enjoyable experience one can have taking a young child for a dental check-​up

My children have been under Dr. Thiel’s care since he came to Austin. Simply fantastic bedside manner and highly competent dentist. I am confident you will also make Thiel Pediatric Dentistry your children’s dental home if you have one appointment with him.

Top notch pediatric dentist. So glad we found him by referral.

Dr Thiel was so great with my son. And his assistant Bebe was so sweet. She sat down before even looking at his mouth and was showing him the trees and birds out the window. We went to him to find out if we needed to have my son’s frenum removed. He could have jumped at an opportunity to make some more money but he did not. He instead said it tends to thin out with age, not necessary to put a young child through a surgery and we’d see how things shape up down the road.
I found him through Unilocal and couldn’t have been happier. I would highly recommend. Sidenote, when we called, they said it was a couple months out for a cleaning. But when I told them my son had fallen and hit his face, they got us right in. But if you’re looking for a cleaning, make sure you plan ahead. I don’t know most people that have to get an emergency cleaning, though!

The best of the best.
I adore Dr. Thiel and his entire staff for making my little guy so at ease for his dental visits. Best of all, Dr. Thiel has a less-​is-​better philosophy. He won’t drill and fill unless it’s absolutely necessary.

A bit of an urgent, anxious tooth trouble for a growing boy.
Dr Thiel quickly took care of it. And then patiently explained the prognosis and follow-​up steps.
By far the best dentist experience my son has had. We have been coming here for more than 2 years and plan to do so for a long time.

We switched to Dr. Thiel after an «okay» experience with another pediatric dentist practice here in town and I could not be happier about my decision to do so. The staff is awesome and Dr. Thiel is very friendly and great with kids. I highly recommend Dr. Thiel and his staff.

We brought our 3 year-​old in to Dr. Thiel’s office for his second dentist visit at the beginning of October of this year. My son is a slow to warm, tender child who doesn’t like people (oftentimes even Mommy) to touch him. We had been to a different practice for his first visit and it did not go well! …and I was worried going into this one.
From the very first encounter, we had a positive experience. The staff spoke to my son directly and with respect, while giving him the space he needed to feel comfortable. There were puzzles to engage him and he got to learn about and touch the equipment on his own time. I held him on my lap and before it was all over, he let the hygienist clean and FLOSS his teeth… I almost started crying!
By the time Dr. Thiel approached my son, his staff had already prepared him for what to expect and we had a super visit. We all left feeling good! Even the front office staff were knowledgable and helpful regarding the best time of day to schedule our preschooler and with insurance questions.
If I could give 10 stars, I would!

I made the drive from Round Rock to see Dr. Thiel, I was impressed. My children were impressed. Both said they «loved that guy», and that is saying a lot after an bad dentist experience in the past.
The Staff were friendly, helpful and thorough. We got there and had to wait some, but there were games, and books to play with.
When we went back I felt like they spend enough time with the kids, they explained things in detail to me without scaring the kids. I am so beyond thankful to have found a good trusted dentist.

I am so happy I took my 2 year old son to Dr. Thiel for a second check! We took him to another dentist and they insisted that my son needed to go to the hospital and get put under anestisia to have caps put on his teeth. I took him to Dr. Thiel because he came recommended and he said that his teeth didn’t need to be capped at all. He gave us a paste to put on my sons teeth and sent us on our way.
Dr. Thiel was amazing with interacting with my son and giving my quality time to answer any questions I had. I never once felt rushed. His office staff and dental hygenists were amamzing too. My son was happily interacting with everyone and never once noticed he was there to get an examination.
I found my childs dentist for sure! We will be going back to Dr. Thiel time and time again.

I’m so happy to have found Dr. Thiel and his practice. I had been dragging my feet on taking my daughter to her first dentist appointment, because I was sure it was going to be awful. She cries non-​stop when we go to the doctor or get her haircut, so I assumed the dentist would be no different.
She did cry in the car all the way there, up the elevator and down the hall, but once we entered Dr. Thiel’s office she had a blast! Lots of fun toys in the waiting room and the hygenists could not have been sweeter. They had fun toys waiting for her in the exam room and she earned stickers left and right for doing such a good job! She was so comfortable there that she even held the little mirror in her mouth for Dr. Thiel so he could count her teeth.
It takes a lot of energy to keep little ones happy and excited especially in an environment like the dentist office, so my hat goes off to the staff here for their non-​stop enthusiasm and energy. We are very grateful for it!

My son, who is special needs, has seen Dr Thiel since he was 1. He is an amazing dentist. He’s friendly, thorough, and is patient, always answering any and all questions we have. Although I have to admit that by the time he’s finished explaining what’s going on, I have very few (if any) questions.
Dr Thiel has even operated on my son under general anesthesia to extract & fix several teeth. Everything went so smoothly & Dr Thiel was very receptive to all of our concerns regarding the surgery. He even personally called later in the day after the surgery to check on my son to make sure everything was alright.
His office staff and dental assistants are all top notch, you’ll feel well taken care of in his office.
He has been voted a Texas Super Dentist and within one visit, you’ll know why. A+++, I feel very blessed to have found Dr Theil!
