He’s the best!!!
He is a great dr and so friendly.
He’s an awesome, gentle and caring Dr
I had an apt for 10:45 I was actually early I sat there till 12:30 rolled around And after seeing my dads Dr later apt and finally re-scheduled for another Dr. every time I see him it’s for 2 mins that’s it the staff does all the work. I go to see the Dr and the Dr is not what I should get. I assume that appointments are made to keep a schedule that’s why if we don’t cancel in time we pay a fee, what do we get for the inconvenience?we have other things on our schedule and sitting at the Dr for almost 2 hours and still haven’t been called back is ridiculous. Also my last heart cath he did something to my arm I’ve never had this problem out the 2 before.
Always happy to see him.Very kind person. No matter what he puts a smile on your face . Something everyone could use including him.Thanks!
I love his professionalism but as for as medicine and medicine prescribe by primary doctor differs. But I guess they need to look at primary medicine before prescribing what he fell is best because he is concerned with the heart. But with other issues has to be known and treated acording to same ,
Dr.Thompson is a great Dr. & I would definitely recommend him to my family & friends.
Best
