Listening to patients asking if they have any questions or concerns
Dr. Thompson and all his staff are very caring, friendly, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Every appointment has had us waiting at least an hour after the scheduled time. He spends 5 minutes talking with you and your done. Seems very competent but not super personable.
Listened. To our concerns. Reviewed the X-rays and MRI. Suggested treatment going forward. Very helpful.
Dr Thompson had xrays taken for the surgical area of the post surgery. Everything seemed to be ok, but my lower right side of my back, at times the pain is unbearable. The nurse looked at the painful area but DR THOMPSON didn't even check it out
Excellent physician. He knew exactly my issue and has had years of experience knowing the solution to my medical condition
Dr. Thompson is very thorough. The CT scans and MRI tests are scheduled by his office and you receive the same day results with him in his office. He goes over the reports with you then. He is kind, knowledgeable and considerate. All personnel in both buildings are kind, reassuring, and professional.
Dr. Thompson is a lifesaver!!! Highly recommend him to anybody that may need him.
Visit was very short- went over imagining and stated we could visit again in a couple months
Wonderful as always.
