Today was my second consultation with Dr Thompson regarding a very serious spinal procedure that I need. His input was the most "on point" feedback that I appreciate so very much. And, he provided that on a telemedicine call on a day that he could not be in the office. I think he is a 5 star.
Great visit-he took the time to explain everything in full detail and did not rush out of the room like some drs
He went above and beyond to make sure he saw me today since we live out of the area even though he was not feeling well. That is rare these days. Staff was friendly and quick.
Always explains treatment options and plan. 8
The best!
By far the best spinal surgeon around. He takes time to discuss any questions a person asks. Always friendly and happy!!! Just a terrific person, and a skilled surgeon!!! He is the absolute BEST OF THE BEST!!!
Professional. Superb care
There’s not a time that I’ve seen Dr Thompson that was disappointing. He listens to everything I have to say. He explains everything so that I understand. He has such compassion.
He is very confident and sound in his expertise, straightforward information and took very well care of my needs!
Met all my concerns with genuine care and respect for my post operative visit. I would highly recommend him for any back surgery a patient might need.
