My visits with Dr. Thompson are always good. Its the wait time after going to the exam room is most horrible I've ever experienced. Its nothing to wait 45 minutes before seeing Dr.

Dr. Thompson is an amazing and extremely knowledgeable cardiologist. He takes his time, listens carefully, and truly cares about his patients’ health. I always feel confident in his medical decisions and guidance. The only downside is the wait time. There have been several occasions where I’ve waited well over an hour past my appointment time to be seen. While I understand that complex cases can cause delays, the long wait can be challenging. Overall, Dr. Thompson is an excellent physician and worth seeing if you’re patient and value quality care.

Amazing Dr. My first visit. Cut through all speculation and explained DX and options. Waited close to 3 hrs from appointment time but well worth the wait. Takes time to answer all questions. My appt lasted 60 min from time Dr Thompson entered room to exit.
