Great doctor!!! Get right to the problems and fix it.
Loved this guy…
Dr. Thompson took time and care to explain my situation and options thoroughly. He listened attentively, and I never felt rushed.
Dr. Kirk is very professional and kind. Wouldn’t consider anyone else. My surgery was such a success.
Dr Thompson is the best. He went over my X-rays and we discussed physical therapy as my best option for pain relief and I agree it has always been a positive for me. I highly recommend Dr Thompson,so easy to talk to.
Very easy to talk to. Amenable and relatable.
