Dr. Thompson is and has been my pain doc for years. Earlier this month I had an intensive and painful hand surgery. Prior to my surgery Dr. T communicated with my orthopedic surgeon and agreed to assume my post-op pain management. He and his M.A. Shawna and P.A. Kristen Green went over and above to communicate with my surgeon and pharmacy on several occasions to assure that I received the agreed upon post-op meds.
I am exceedingly grateful for their compassion and commitment.

He is a great Dr. His receptionist sucks! She let someone cut line and talked to someone speaking Spanish for 15 minutes. His assistant is great too. The only negative thing is that Dr Thompson went on vacation and my husband was in severe pain for 2 weeks. Then we had to wait 2 more weeks to get the procedure.
