To long of a wait time. Over an hour. He maybe good but his bed side manner is very poor.
Excellent doctor. Straight forward. No bull. Glad we have him.
The best cardiologist around, I wouldn’t ever think about using any other Dr. He know his job and is very well up to date on all cardiovascular procedures. Absolutely the best.
Have been scheduled to see the man twice and have never (actually) seen him. Seems to always be running way behind. Dr. Josti, as a favor to me, saw my wife who was there to see Dr. Thompson. We are pretty remote and schedule all, or most, of our appointment's for the same day. Hours apart but have always been hung up just “waiting” to see Dr. Thompson and ultimately have to cancel. Not satisfied…AT ALL. Never seems to have latest Labs or Work Ups that I would “assume” were needed and the reason for my visit.
Did not see the Doctor, waited for 2hours and left.
Thank you! My visit was informative and pleasant and local!
Dr Thompson is very knowledgeable about my health problems and always shared it with me. He works with me until we get my problems solved. He is very concerned for patients
He is my Doctor the best !!!!!
Good job
Great attitude
