Very good doctor
Absolutely a great Dr.
Efficient, kind and professional.
Excellent. Informative. Caring.
Excellent doctor & staff
Excellent manor in his exam as he tried to determine what was causing my trigger finger. He asked questions as he conducted his exam but didn’t tell me in advance if you have pain here then this is the problem. After he reached a conclusion he explained why he determined what was causing my issue. He then went over the treatment.
Excellent surgeon. Kind and considerate to me.
Dr. Thompson does not seem to be concerned about those he treats or willing to admit that he may have contributed to issues being worse instead of better. He never read therapy notes prior to my visits and continued to write prescription to treat symptoms instead on searching for the problem. I am worst off now than I was before being treated with Dr. Thompson and felt those in his clinic where more concerned about my balance than well being. Visit were stressful and pointless.
Dr.Thompson and Kirsten are top rated. He has been my physician since he first practiced at High Point Regional. Excellent patient care.
He has taken good care of my hand issues and pays attention to what is important to me.
