Dr Thompkins went above and beyond on helping me. He helped me until he figured out all the options and didn't stop until he knew what to n do. Will go back to him and look no further.
Doc has always been willing to help and find the least intrusive way to treatment
Dr Thompkins is the best. Unfortunately I have a horrible spine and he fixes me each time. He has the best attitude and friendliness which carries over to his great team. I can always count on Dr Thompkins to be at his best for me.
Great surgeon , compassionate and caring
I was very happy with Dr. Thompkins. He was professional, kind, and was willing to explain things well. My daughter and I both went to him, and we both liked him. I would highly recommend him to my family. Lakeshore Bone and Joint never disappoints!
He’s the best. He listens to and helps me understand things I’m concerned about
Dr. T. Explained my situation well. He appeared very knowledgeable. He was very kind also.
So far 1 weeks post surgery with doc has been wonderful. My prior to surgery symptoms are completely resolved and my recovery has been going waaaayyyy better than I could have ever asked for. All of the great things I have heard about him were just instantly verified. Highly recommended for any of your back needs.
