Dr. Walter Alain Thomas, MD

Excellent orthopedist. Used him for carpal tunnel surgery, broken wrist, and now treatment for my rt knee which was broken in 2006.

I had my torn Rotator Cuff surgically repaired by Dr. Thomas. The staff and Dr. Thomas are professional and top notch. The surgical procedure and follow-up care were excellent, and I had great results. Dr. Thomas takes the necessary time to explain and answer questions. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas and his staff.

Finding Dr. Thomas was a god send. Despite a questionable prognosis by 2 surgeons he was able to reattach a massive full-thickness tear to my primary shoulder tendon using 7 anchors. His initial review was thorough and compassionate and non-hurried. He totally answered all my wife and my pre op questions. His office staff, especially Kris, went overboard to make sure I had both a coolant pump with shoulder fitting as well as a mechanical chair outfitted in my home at time of surgery. They have called me post op and done great follow-through appointments as well as communicated effectively with my choice of P/T all at a distance of about 110 miles away. I am in no pain, was off meds after the 3rd day and have about 1/3 better reach and mobility and was able to return to work after only 2-weeks down time. Dr. Thomas is simply the best surgeon and compassionate, caring human being you will ever find. Don't even bother with a second opinion.

Dr. Thomas and his staff are very professional. After seeing another doctor for a partial tear in a tendon in my arm for over 9 months, I was referred to Dr. Thomas. From the moment I set the appointment , I knew he was different from other Doctors. Dr. Thomas listened carefully and asked many thoughtful questions. He carefully reviewed my case and then suggested a simple procedure. His staff scheduled the PRP injection and before I knew it I was on the mend. An excellent experience provided by all this people. After a year of struggling with my arm, I am now pain free thanks to Dr. Thomas.

My experience with Dr. Thomas and his staff was exceptional. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. I got an appointment quickly and Dr. Thomas explained everything. I had a medial meniscus tear and he made me feel like it was something that was easily fixable - and it was. When some physical therapy did not help, we decided to operate. My surgery was scheduled quickly and the whole experience went smoothly. I had my surgery on a Thursday, saw Dr. Thomas on Monday and was in physical therapy on Tuesday and back on my feet. I never had any pain after the surgery. My results were perfect. I would highly recommend Dr. Thomas and, in fact, have recommended him to several people.

I was sent to see Dr. Thomas after tearing my ACL while playing soccer. My family and I were so pleased with the helpful, kind, and professional staff that works there. When I called to have my first consultation, they worked hard to get me in to see the doctor as soon as possible. They are always willing to help in any way possible and go above and beyond to achieve customer satisfaction. Dr. Thomas himself was so helpful, encouraging, and determined to get me back to playing sports as soon as possible. With his calm demeanor, my family and I always left feeling comforted, and confident with the treatment plan for my recovery. Dr. Thomas was there to support me every step of the way, from the incident of tearing my ACL up until now, 11 months after my surgery. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Thomas for two surgeries, and I could not have been more pleased with the service and treatment I have received. If I were to injure myself again (which hopefully does not happen) I… would most definitely want to be under the care of Dr. Walter Thomas and his staff.

Dr. Thomas is not only one of the best surgeons in the area but one that will take the time to talk with you and explain the situation without confusing mumbo jumbo. He is also down to earth. He has no better-than-thou attitude like many of the other docs in T.O. Check him out for yourself. We were referred to him and have thanked that person many times.

I was referred to Dr. Thomas by Core Physical Therapy when I had a shoulder injury that was not healing. Dr. Thomasâ?? office got me in to see him right away, and after an MRI revealed that I had a fully torn rotator cuff and would need shoulder surgery, Dr. Thomas was very through and compassionate in explaining my options. My health insurance was going to change, so the staff worked to get me scheduled for surgery before the change, per my request. The surgery went well, and after surgery, Dr. Thomas continued to follow up with my progress. He was also in communication with Core Physical Therapy, so they were both monitoring my progress. Dr. Thomasâ?? office staff was very friendly and helpful. The surgery setup was smooth, and the follow up discussions (by the office staff) with my insurance company were very helpful. Dr. Thomas also squeezed in time to see my daughter when she was home from out of state with a broken ankle. I would highly recommend Dr. Thomas to anyone… needing orthopedic help.

I have seen Dr. Thomas on multiple occasions. Being in the medical industry affords me the luxury of knowing who the top physicians are. I strongly recommend Dr. Thomas for anyone that needs to see him. He is at the top of his field.
