A bit of a wait with our appointment but I am not going to knock off any stars for something that is beyond their control. Dr. Thomas was really warm and kind. He got us in and out when we finally saw him. I appreciate how he explained everything thoroughly, and was very realistic with our questions regarding recovery.

We really appreciate the entire office’s willingness to see our 2 year old yesterday. Dr. Thomas was able to relieve our daughter’s pain in less than 15 minutes. The outcome of an ER visit was that our daughter had only “bruised” her arm. We felt like there was more to it because she continued to cry/scream at any movement of her arm at all and she continued to refuse to move it. Our Pediatrician recommended Dr.Thomas’s office which very graciously offered us an end of day appointment. Despite a very busy waiting room, and later hour of getting to us, Dr.Thomas and his team attended to our daughter as if we were the first appointment of the day. Dr.Thomas was able to pretty quickly identify our daughter’s dislocated elbow and did some magic to quickly correct the issue without causing her much more pain; it was over before she could register what happened. Dr. Thomas and his staff blessed us with a good night’s sleep and validity that continuing to seek out relief was the way… to go! Highly recommend Dr. Thomas and his staff!

My son has been going to Dr. Michael Thomas for almost seven years, since he was 2 weeks old. Dr. Thomas is the absolute BEST. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and truly cares about the kids and their families. I wouldn’t trust my son’s feet with anyone else.

Dr. Thomas and the staff at Nevada Orthopedic and Spine Center; W. Washington location, are amazing! Always caring, very knowledgeable, and efficient. This is unfortunately our 2nd visit this year for different injuries but so very thankful to be taken in again and cared for by Dr. Thomas and his friendly nurses, and awesome staff! Thank you for fitting in our little adventurer so fast and getting her in her awesome new pink cast! Makes me so very happy to see her be able to move around and get to see Santa for the first time pain free.

Dr. Thomas was very nice. He was funny and made my daughter feel comfortable. He recommended physical therapy and as long as that solves the problem, she won't be needing another visit. ??

Loved his no-nonsense approach and respect for choice in treatment. Sometimes less is more and his wisdom shows through his treatment explanations.
