Quick and to the point. Answered all my questions
Was very impressed with his professionalism.
Excellent
Excellent visit. Spent the time necessary. Open easy communication.
I have had two back surgeries before Dr Thomas although those doctors did a good job I reinjured myself. The first time I saw Dr Thomas I had been bedridden for about six months. Muscles in my legs were totally depleted and he did a double fusion on me and gave me my life back, the second time I was on my floor for a week on a piece of plywood and again he did surgery and gave me my life back. Dr Thomas will not cut on you as a first option. He will tell you that if you don’t need surgery you don’t want to have it because anything can happen in surgery but you have to know your quality of life , I trust him and I would rather a Dr. That will explore all options then go straight to surgery
Dr.Thomas is quick to operate to make money. He has zero bedside manner. He doesn’t spend any time explaining what’s going on with the patient. He has caused patients extreme mental anguish. He cannot be trusted. His assistant doesn’t know what the heck she’s talking about when she tries to cover for him. His reputation with locals is not good. He used to be known as the best in the area but now people do not trust him.
