Dr. Thornsberry did surgery on my left knee about 15 years ago and he do an outstanding job!!! He is also very kind and professional!
Surgery & recovery could not have gone any better! So happy with my results!
Everything was better than perfect except I should have bee prescribed magnesium citrate. Nothing else worked and I got that frrom a friend on fifth day. Knee is perfect.
Very professional.
I visited Dr. Thornsberry to receive a second opinion on a procedure that was recommended by another orthopedist. Dr. Thornsberry was very professional as he responded to every question I had. At the end of the visit, I knew that he would be my preferred health care professional moving forward for any and all future orthopedic needs.
First day post-op and I have very little pain, even when bearing weight.
Dr Thornsberry is an excellent doctor in his field. I would highly recommend him if you are having any trouble with your upper extremities.
Top notch doc! He is very knowledgeable and personable, and never seems rushed. He actively listens to you and takes what you say into consideration along with the information he gets from your tests, scans, films, etc. before advising you of next steps.
Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable
Good bedside manner. Willing to take time to listen and answer questions.
