Very good doctor and is very pleasant and friendly person
It is good that I get to see Dr. Thomas when I go to Ortho. He knows my history.
I received two injections today which Dr Thomas administered very proficiently. His “bedside manner” is awesome! I already have less pain in my knee and can bear weight more comfortably!
