Where do I begin to tell you about Dr. Thompson? It's simple I guess...he's my HERO! When I found my way to him I was in a dark place. A spinal problem had caused a loss of a majority of my basic motor skills. All the way down to a inability to even sign my name or tie my own shoes. And the pain? It was breathtaking and overwhelming to say the least. Dr. Thompson was soft spoken, honest, and kind. His bedside manner is impeccable. He explained everything to me simply. From the cause of my problem, to the surgery, to post- op expectations. I woke up from surgery PAIN FREE after 8 yrs and all of my motor skill problems were gone! Dr. Thompson is nothing less than a amazing and valuable asset to Campbell Clinic. He will always have a special place with me. I'm honored to have crossed his path and eternally grateful for his skilled care. He saved me...more than he knows. Thank you Dr. Thompson and Campbell Clinic!
