Dr. Arthur Thiel is a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery, signifying board certification by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. He has a Certificate of Added Qualification in Hand Surgery granted by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. He has recertified in both board certifications. He joined Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates in 1986. He enjoys the entire field of orthopedic surgery, but especially enjoys hand surgery, arthroscopic surgery, shoulder surgery and joint replacement surgery.

Dr. Thiel was born in Spokane, WA., and grew up in Fairfield, Washington. After graduating from Walla Walla College in College Place, he attended Loma Linda University School of Medicine. After receiving his MD in 1979, he completed his Orthopedic Surgery residency in June of 1985. Next followed a 6 month fellowship in surgery of the hand and upper extremity also at Loma Linda University. Then he joined BFOA here in Kennewick.

He treasures being Dad to Tiffany (away at college) and Cedric (high school).  Most of his non-practice time is spent helping The REACH (a new church plant located in West Richland) grow. Snow skiing, snow boarding, bicycling, scuba diving and computers are hobbies much enjoyed. He and Shelley get spoiled by being able to work in the same office.
