I met with Dr. Thornton for a consultation regarding follow up radiation therapy from the removal of an aggressive squamous cell carcinoma. Dr Thornton spent nearly 2 hours explaining in detail how my cancer travels, how it travels and how he can attack that cancer with the Proton Beam Therapy. All questions answered and explained in detail.

Dr. Thornton offered hope of successful treatment and very possible cure of a complicated case of naso sinus cancer. I had previously been dismissed from a well known cancer center with no options other than palliative care. This doctor has been so kind and caring.

Dr. Thornton was very thorough and upfront during our first visit. He had a very strong knowledge base with my condition and the type of cancer (which I was told was rare and not common by others). Throughout the treatment and even to this day he is readily available for my calls in order to provide assistance. He is one of very few that combine professionalism with a care personality. I would recommend him everytime.

Dr. Thornton was willing to spend the time needed to make our family comfortable with my father's options. My father was treated very well by Dr. Thornton. He showed much empathy for the situation my father is in.

This physician is very professional and provides quality care. He spends a great deal of time with his patients because he wants them to understand their disease.
