Years ago my mom was in a horrific car accident and he was the only Dr. that could help her. Every bone in her face was broke he had to cut her ear to ear pull her face down and fix her and put plates etc.. I can hardly rem it bc it was a scary time for me I had never dealt with anything that serious. To be honest I felt like I was in another world but he still was incredibly sweet to me and my mother and he did a amazing job!!! I know God worked through this man to help my mother and to be so kind to a girl that was a emotional wreck. I will forever be grateful for what he did.
What more can I say about the staff and Dr. Theunissen! For five years I debated on having surgery and I never felt comfortable enough to commit to having the procedures done. This group is outstanding from start to finish and down to the even the smallest detail. I felt very confident about my decision going into surgery and I would not hesitate to do it again.
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Theunissen and his team! I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process and couldn’t be happier with my breast augmentation results. They look and feel so real. I went in on Friday and was back to work on Tuesday. Highly recommended!
Dr. Theunissen is a wonderful and devoted doctor. His honesty and kindness are just a few details of the incredible bedside manner he has. He is complimented by the loving and knowledgeable staff that work for him. From the front desk, to his assistants, and the recovery nurses, he has a team that provides the best level of care any patient would hope for. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
