Great doctor! Very attentive and caring.
Very thorough and an excellent surgeon
Have been a patient for over 25 years. The same now as it was 25 years ago
Great!!!!
Dr. Thornsberry is an excellent doctor. If you're looking for an experienced, profesional, knowledgeable, and skilled doctor, for sure this is your doctor. He is not a very talkative person, neither am I. What matters the most to me is the care and expertise. He definitely delivered. He treated me 5 to 6 six years before I actually had a total knee replacement. I had 2 PRP procedures, the first one worked very well, the 2nd one didn't. It was tme to move to more evasive options. That option was a total knee replacement I would recommend him 10 times over. In fact I have recommended my sister and friends to him.
Great Doctor and staff.
