Spent all of 5 min. with him. He was polite, professional & friendly. Recommended PT. Time will give me a better impression.
Great doctor, great service.
Excellent service
Always feel comfortable and heard. Highly recommend Dr Thomas and his PA Chris.
Great visit, Dr. Thomas was friendly, the guy who gave the cortisone shot made it painless, great visit!
Very thorough and willing to listen
He and Chris are an amazing team. Both so friendly and caring.
Visit went very smoothly and Chris was amazing with my cortisone injection.
Professional, kind, attentive, we discussed the results of my MRI, but not really a treatment plan
Dr. Thomas is a wonderful surgeon. He’s very thorough, he has a good bedside manner, and I would recommend him to anyone. He also has an amazing staff.
