Greatest doctor CIS has working with them
Great sense of humor and great bed side manner. He’s very personable
Dr. Thompson and his nurse were very professional and did a great job and experience. His nurse was very attentive and informative.
Dr. Thompson is a great doctor, but I spend more time waiting to see him, than I spend with him… For example my appointment today was at 12:45 pm but I didn’t actually see him until 2:55 pm, and I was out of there by 3:15 pm…..
I didn’t get to see him. After waiting an hour and half past my appointment time one of the nurses told me their wee nine people ahead of me.I couldn’t wait. Said they would have to reschedule me in September. I had bloodwork done a week ago. I guess an emergency came up that put everything behind.
Sat in room for 2 hrs.
Excellent physician
You’re good doctor, but the waiting period can be a little difficult. Having arthritis can be how to spell extremely painful with stiff joints. But again you’re a good person.
Knowledgeable, thorough, communicates well
Waited for 1+1/2 hours to see the doctor. Appointment was 8:15. Very disappointed. No consideration for patient
