Seen a number of doctors over the years. Dr. Thompkins by far outshines any of them. His staff and associates are top notch. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone. I have had family members see him and always a good outcome. Everyone always thinks the best doctors in the region are in Chicago........I would argue that we have better doctors right here at Lakeshore
