To say that I was anxious about this surgery would be an understatement. I have never had any type of procedure done, so I was terrified. However, Dr. Tholen and his staff immediately made me feel less nervous -- even from the initial consultation. He doesn't hesitate to take the extra time to talk with his patients and discuss their fears/anxieties/expectations/etc. Regardless, I was a little bit nervous on the day of the surgery, but everyone in the clinic made sure that I was okay: from his assistant's emails about pre- and post- operative care, to his anesthesiologist's explanations of what exactly was about to go down, to his thorough approach to patient care, I felt like I was in the best care throughout the entire process. I'd also like to point out that Dr. Tholen and his staff are all knowledgeable and accepting of trans patients, and never once did I feel uncomfortable.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
4825 Olson Memorial Hwy., Minneapolis, Minnesota
Dr. Tholen explained the procedure and made sure I understood what he planned on doing, as well as why. I am already impressed with my results and I can't wait to see how I continue to heal. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Tholen to anybody considering top surgery.
