I want all of you out there trying to figure this Lupus mess out to see Dr. Thomas. He has been the only doctor in 20 years that has done the following:1. listened to me. 2. done testing that no other doctor has even offered. 3. BELEIVED ME. His bedside manner is awesome he looks you in the eyes when he speaks with you unlike most of the doctors I have been to. He has renewed my faith in the medical field. His staff is wonderful they have a lab in the office. I did not have to wait forever and a day to be seen. I am confident that Dr. Thomas will figure out what is going on with my body and why all of this craziness going on. To anyone that reads this, I have been at my wits end and ready to give up!! My angel sent me to this office and directed me to Dr. Thomas, I will be forever grateful.

From my very first visit, I realized I made the right choice of doctors. He is very caring and very thorough. Answered every question and gave me all the time I needed. And besides his shots don’t hurt which is a great plus.

A friend recommended Dr. Thomas to give me my epidural injections. I had horrible back and sciatica pain due to a herniated disk and I was afraid to get them after all the bad news in the papers. However, he was very kind, explained everything completely and made me feel very at ease. I couldn't believe how simple the procedure was and for the first time in months I was completely without pain! I recommend him highly!!!!

Dr. Thomas has been my doc for 5 years. He gives me knee cortisone injections better than anyone. I hardly feel them at all, and they get rid of my pain. Thanks!

Doctors do not come any better than Dr. Thomas. In addition to his expertise, he actually listens to you (which is rare these days). He has never made me feel rushed. Unfortunately, I have to visit numerous doctors and I must say, there is no comparison when it comes to bed side manners. He cares about making your pain minimal and improving your quality of life. In rating him from 1 - 10, I give Dr. Thomas a 10 ++++

I have severe gout, no doctors could get it under control and I was literally disabled from it. Dr. Thomas worked magic on me and I am so grateful. His staff is very friendly (Pammy at the counter is great!) and his assistants are very professional and courteous. He definitely surrounds himself with good people. I can not recommend him highly enough.
