Yesterday I had pain. Today I do not.
100% I love the way Dr Thompson explains what I need to know about my situation. I leave there with the knowledge of my treatment plans it feels GREAT! I am very thankful to have Dr Thompson after having had a Dr who didnt care about me or my recovery. A great big THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Dr Thompson is the best. I had seen two other Drs about my wrist and was about to give up! Thank God I found him. He’s very thorough and listens . I recommend him to anyone. I’m not discouraged anymore.
The level of care and expertise was astounding! He went far beyond anything I could have imagined! He is well known and respected throughout the Moses Cone facilities. I was told many times he is simply the best at what he does and I now concur! I am thankful and so very grateful!
Only request that doctor spend more time in the visit and not be as rushed
Very pleasant and is a good Doctor yes I would recommend him to other people
To be a doctor, he does not have a bedside matter and does not listen to the patient. He gave me the feeling that he did not care about me and about my injury. I know my body, I know what happen in wreck. From day one I told him that the injury is in my left hand and wrist. He claims it is in my thumb. He also claims that I did not tell him about my hand and wrist. I cannot hold a steering wheel with my thumb.
He was very personable, pleasant and professional. Surgery was a breeze with easy recovery.
He was thorough and quick! Very sweet man.
Dr. Thompson is very knowledgeable and made me feel seen in my pain. I’ve seen a plethora of doctors, most of which have tried to minimize what I’m going through or tell me the truth of my reality in a not so loving way. Dr. Thompson did the opposite—he told me the facts, but in a way that was loving and gave me hope.
