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.
I have chronic spine pain from cervical to my lumbar spine. My previous spine doctor transferred to Nashville, TN. I had to find another spine doctor/ surgeon to inherit my spine issues. After researching doctors, I chose Dr. Kirk Thompson. He did not disappoint. He is very knowledgeable in his field and educated on the latest technology dealing with the spine. I highly recommend Dr Thompson as your spine doctor.
Great Doctor with awesome bedside manners
So late
Very informative with specific details about my condition. Communication and professionalism was superb as well
He was so personable and explained everything to me so clearly. I will certainly recommend Dr. Thompson.
Dr. Thompson was attentive, thorough, kind and eager to solve a problem. His genuine warmth, listening ear, and professionalism were a bright, reassuring light during a patient’s painful medical experience.
