The most compassionate caring doctor I’ve ever been to. He looks you straight in the eyes and explains things to you. I wish every doctor was like him. You are not just a number to him, he truly cares about his patients.

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.
