I just love Dr. Thompson. Great communicator, cares for me, chooses the best options for me.

One of the best, but didnt get to see him. Waited an 1.5 hr from apt time.

Today was my first day meeting Him, He seem to be a great Guy! One thing that I Took the most from my visit was He was very informative, Respectful and Honest.I like how he broke down things where you could completely understand everything that took place and will for future all in all he was a great person to meet,What I like about Him the most was his Spirit and you could tell that he walked with God and that was the most important thing for me when I am going for a clinic check up and that was awesome to know that he walked by faith and not by sight so with that said he seems like an awesome person and my visit was awesome

Luv luv luv him, Great Doctor concerned about his pts 🖐🏾👆🏾💯💜❤️👍 Thanks for Caring😀

Treats me like family

Amazing

Dr Thompson seems to care about patient concerns and wellness. My only complaint is wait time to see the doctor. I have an elderly mother and we normally wait 2 hours to see the doctor.

He was very attentive and thorough.

He is the Best cardiologist and just a great, friendly, nice person.

We like Dr Thonpson a lot. Explains every detail so we can understand. No hurry.

Excellent

Very good with the details. Performs the right procedures and testing at the right time. Studys the lab results and measures progress.

Everyone that finds out my husband's cardiologist is Charles Thompson praises him highly. Not only do we like him, but apparently many others do too!

Very Thorough

I trust Dr Thompson and hope he will always be my heart doctor. Super smart and keeps me calm. He has my best physical health condition a top priority

Awesome and Caring Doctor great bedside manners.. He's the Best.

Appreciated his directness.

To the point. Very good explanation Like the doc

Dr Thompson is observant, listens carefully, and anticipates questions the patient may have.

Very nice and explained everything really well.

Very informative doctor and I respect his knowledge in cardiovascular! My only complaint would be the wait time it takes for the doctor to get in the room. It took 1 hour from my appointment until the doctor came in the room. I understand sometimes the doctor gets hung up. This is why I always request the easiest appointment possible.

He's one of the best!!!

super

I really appreciate his expertise He’s an excu Dr and very through He saved my life last NICU and my family is more than grateful to him and his team both in Zachary and office in Baton Rouge were he recommended I go to see Dr Abraham whom is no longer with your institute 💖💖💖💖💖👑

After waiting a year for an appointment you sit in the lobby for over an hour then when your name is called to go to a waiting room and they tell you, the doctor will be in shortly after another hour of waiting, and no one even having the courtesy to open the door to check on you or to inform you that the doctor had an emergency or he’s running behind, etc. Very poor service !!!!!!

Great people

Thanks for all the awesome care you show

Too many jokes - Doctor Suess???? Does not listen to patient.

Dr. Thompson is the best! Prepared for every visit. Takes the time to talk about test results, meds and future plans for treatment.

Dr Thompson was in a very good mood fast and professional in and put in less then one hpur

Always been very caring and up beat.

Great Doctor

Always takes time with his patients.

Take his time and explain so you can understand everything

Dr.Thompson was very personable and made me feel like he was invested in taking care of any of my concerns. He also explained everything with detail and he was very thoughtful.

Explained everything very well. He seemed interested in what I had to say and explained what the next steps would be.

I felt he was genuinely interested in my concerns

The doctor is great but I waited 1 1/2 hours in the back is really ridiculous for an 85 years old to wait in a little room. I was fixing to walk out on them

He explains things thoroughly. That's actually a great compliment.

Fr

I waited an hour and half in the room

He is observant, listens, and is willing to explain when patients don’t understand.

Dr Thompson

Dr. Charles Thompson is my favorite!! I’ve been his Patient for years and he’s the best! Wouldn’t have any other Dr. but him.

Great doctor, just have to wait to long to see him.

Always a pleasure

He always makes sure I understand exactly what’s going on mmmmm on with my body and answers all questions I may have.

I love this guy. He is so unique with his “no holes barred” attitude and I always feel like I’ve received the best care possible when I leave his office.

Always pleasing ,informative and ready to answer any of my concerns.

Dr. Thompson always treats my son with the most respect! He is straightforward into the point about his condition and what he has to do to take care of his health . Thank you for that.

Very good doctor. Explain everything to the max.

First visit with Dr Thompson. Very personable and attentive.

Minimal wait time. Excellent, friendly service by Dr. Thompson and his staff. Thanks.

He was very knowledgeable,kind and spent time explaining everything.

He is the best in my book !

Lack of effective communication. Nurses are rude and no compassionate. Felt like I was on an assembly line.

I really like Dr. Thompson and I trust his judgment and diagnosis. But, he sometimes gives me instructions I don't like.

Great Dr. only complaint is he is always late.

Kindness is a virtue!

Dr Thompson take the time with his patients, he explain,make sure they understand.Th

Best of the Best, always takes time to listen to me! Works to come up with a plan that makes both of us Happy!!

Excellent!

He's the best. He oves his patient's. Takes his time with you explains and draws pictures for you.

Excellent

Waited one hour in examination room to see doctor for 3 minutes, but this was faster than normal!!!

Excellent visit

Best doctor ever!

Dr. Thompson is a "blue collar" professional. He can communicate well with all levels of society. He doesn't force unnecessary tests and places his energy on finding root cause(s). He found my blockages in which led to my triple bypass 10 years ago.

Great Dr. He listens to your questions and he answers them honestly. Dr. T Does not rush you in and out. THE BEST !!!!’

Dr Thompson is a very good physician I'm glad to have him as a heart doctor I feel blessed

Very patient and caring

2 hour wait time to see the Doctor...

He was highly recomended

Professional personable easy to talk to.

Thank you for the care!

He is the best and Is personal with his patients and explains your condition he cares about you, all I can say he a true professional and a humanity

Waited 2 hours to be seen and then rushed out as fast as possible. Felt as if I was spoken to as a child and unable to ask questions due to being talked over. I was very hopeful that this was an isolated incident. However, this was the second occurrence. Dr Thompson seems knowledgeable and has explained options very well, and that is why I didn't rate him as terrible. I hope other patients are listened to and given time to explain their concerns

He is in a rush when seeing patients and always runs behind in appointments

Dr Salvagio is our doctor. We would recommend him to anyone in need of a heart doctor.

Very thorough

Informative and speaks in laymen terms

We always have great service when we see dr Thompson

A very good Dr. Always helpful and explained things well

Dr. Thompson was very informative and down to earth physician he seemed to be compassionate and also a good listener.

Awesome Doctor he cares about his patients

Like & appreciate my doctor but hate the wait time I have to endure to see him.

He is an excellent doctor. Explains and answers questions thoroughly and in a way that is understood by a lay person

Like do a lot, just have to wait to long to see him.

Didn't have to wait but about 15 minutes after I was called.called on time

He saw I was visibly upset and stressed concerning what my insurance would pay and not being able to pay bills. He was concerned for me and showed it to me and told me everything would be alright which is so rare for doctors to do. I guess you would call it his bedside manner was caring to me in my very stressed state of mind. Thank you Dr. Thompson.

Long wait

Awesome Doctor

Good Doctor.

Great Doctor

Dr. Thompson is awesome! He’s thorough and his bedside manner is second to none. I have confidence in his treatment plan for me and I love the fact that he takes time to talk to and listen to me. Also, the staff there is courteous and friendly. I highly recommend CIS.

He’s a great cardiologist and knows his stuff.

Yes

Awesome Doctor..

Very caring and explains everything

No nonsense. Just the facts.

Dr. Charles Thompson is a concern doctor who take pride in giving sound advice to each of his patients. My husband are very grateful to have as our doctor

Every time i see him I am expected to wait over 2.5 hours after my scheduled appointment time!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

Excellent service

I love Dr. Thompson, And he has helped tremendously me over the years. He has a way of seeing things outside the box, so I’ve gotten used to some of his unusual bed side manners. However my last few visits I feel a little cheated because he doesn’t take much time with me, I would at least like him to sit down, and that way I can collect my thoughts and perhaps ask questions.

Explained all of our test's very well and answered all our questions. Was very patient with us, and informed us of our options.

Dr Thompson always takes his time and explains everything.

waiting 2 hours is a little much!

Excellent doctor. Scheduled appts chronically late. Most recently 1.3 hours late for a 9:30am appt.

Dr. Thompson is the best As soon as he seen what I needed I was on my way to BRG for open heart surgery & it was a quadruple bypass Everything went as planned & I'm recovering well Thank you God & all the medical team involved

Dr. Thompson is great. He’s thorough, compassionate, and is no nonsense. I appreciate the kind manner in which he explains everything in a way that is easy to understand.

I’ve always liked Dr. Thompson ever since my heart attack and he put the stent in me ; Had no complications since; He put my wife’s pacemaker in with same results of no complications since; He’s very professional and personable; explains every procedure thouroughly and in a manner that anyone can understand; and until or unless the level of care that he provides he will remain my cardiologist,Period!

It’s a little wait to see Dr Thompson because when he gets in the room he spends a lot of time with you learning about you and explaining everything to you. His assistant was great too! Well worth the wait !! He is a down to earth Doctor and I like that. I actually enjoyed the visit.

10

Excellent knowledge, communication, and bed side manners. Perfect balance of compassion and professionalism.

Best Dr I have

He makes me feel as though I'm his only patient. He listens, cares, and is genuinely concerned. My parents, now deceased, were under his care for years and he treated them with respect.

Wait times are ridiculously long.

Great

The wait was just a little long than I expected. But other than that, it was very pleasant The staff was friendly, the doctor was very concerned.

Hour and a half from scheduled appt. time before finally leaving after only 3 minutes in exam room with doctor.

Great Physician

He is the best

Excellent care!!!

Takes the time to talk to me about what treatment options are available pertaining to my diagnoses.

kind, patient, explains whatever I need to know

He’s good enough but 2 hour wait is common.

Well spoken, explained my problems to me, where i could understand. Care about his patients. Thanks for all you do and going to do, in advance.

Speaks to me in language I can understand; never complicates my condition.

Very impressed with Dr Thompson did not rush and explained everything very thorough

I love Dr. Thompson

I just think the world of Dr T. I have been his patient for ten years and I trust him totally.

He uses language that I understand, and he takes the time to explain what I don't understand.

Dr Thompson Is the best and He’s always taking the time to make explain things to me. I trust him with my health and blessed immensely

I love Dr. Thompson and have complete faith in him. I just cannot understand why there is so much inefficiency in that office. Why schedule a 7:15 apt when Dr. doesn't get there til 7:30 Why does it take an hour to have a routine checkup when you are the first apt of the day? Weigh, vitals, review meds, ekg, 5 minute conversation with your doctor should not take 1 hour!!!

Always provides excellent care.

Very personable and professional. This was my first visit, but it felt like he had been my doctor for years. He provided excellent, thorough explanations, anticipated my questions, and answered them before I even had to ask.

Professional

He is a great dr. Very thorough.

as usual I had to wait 1 hour for him to come in.

Great doctor

Thanks for your excellent professional help please keep doing the same

Great team sweet staff.

Continued excellent care and positive bedside manner

Great doctor great man, always in a positive mood. Covers all your questions in our office visits and fully informs you of what you may expect from any procedures. No surprises and you always feel confident about decisions that are made.

Very professional and friendly. Also, very knowledgeable and talks in a method that I can understand. Will continue to recommend this doctor. A++.

Dr Thompson has been my cardiologist for 22 years and I wouldn’t consider going to anyone else.

1 hour waiting to go back in the exam room then 1 hour waiting in the exam room. Waited 2 hrs before seeing the doctor. My time is valuable also.

We liked him. Very informative, answered all our questions. He has a good bedside manner which makes you fill comfortable.

Dr. Thompson is the best! He explains everything to me and is very compassionate about my care. I appreciate his his patience and making me feel like my quality of care is a the forefront of what your company is concerned about.

Dr T is an excellent doctor and tells you exactly what your problem is and what you need and why. However, the wait time at your appointment is just too long!

Dr. Thompson was extremely knowledgeable, and helpful in helping me understand my results. I’m thankful for my experience!

Really cares for my health.

Excellent service

Good Dr., let’s you know exactly what’s going on with your heart, don’t pull any punches. Dr. Thompson is always willing to go that extra mile if need be

Dr Thompson has taken and will continue to. He has a great personality that makes you feel safe and taken care of

Dr Thompson may be a little late BUT he always takes his time explaining my situation to me and my family if necessary. He is very detailed in his explanations which we appreciate very much

His "beside manner" is not always the best but his doctor skills are and that is where it counts

Very Caring person, Extremely helpful, knowledgable, answers all questions, even those you don't think to ask. Takes his time with you to make sure your well taken care of.
