Absolutely love him as my child's doctor. His nurse, Natalie, and other staff are kind, compassionate, and really take the time to figure out what is going on. We have been to SEVERAL ENTs prior to him and Dr. Thompson was/is by far the most knowledgeable. I refer everyone to go to him - children and adults. Thank you for all you have done for my kiddo with significant medical needs.
