Although Dr. Thelen was recommended to me by my immunologist and is my preferred doctor through my insurance, after about 15 minutes on the phone with the receptionist getting ready for my appointment, I was told that Dr. Thelen would not see me because I lived«too far». This is frustrating as I live in a remote area and Dr Thelen is the closest Rheumatologist, about 30 miles away. If I don’t mind driving, I don’t understand why it’s an issue for his office. I am very disappointed as he came highly recommended.

I found myself a new Rheumatologist! Dr. Thelen is awesome. He’s very patient, makes sure you understand every little thing, and understands my fear of needles. If you’ve never had rheumatology blood work drawn… let me tell you. There is a huge amount of blood that is taken(lots of tubes). If you get your blood drawn from your arm, it’s a piece of cake. However, I have all of it drawn from both of my hands. It hurts like no other. What makes him good is that he will get all the work up blood work drawn at one time(unless you have to follow up for something… but that’s different). Hope you don’t ever need to see a rheumatologist, but if you do I highly recommend him.
