Today was my first visit and I was truly impressed with all the staff but most of all with Dr. Thornton! Very thorough, wonderful bedside manner, and down to earth. Easy to talk to and he listened with care and compassion. I feel truly blessed to have him as my new cardiologist. I believe he will play a vital role in helping me get back on track concerning my cardiac health.

Dr Thornton is
The kindest and most thoughtful Dr I know. He’s prompt, and sure knows his stuff. I’d give him a higher rating, but can’t.
