Dr. Christie Susan Thomas, MD

Dr Thomas and her staff are always very professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. Everyone I have dealt with from checking in to checkout is very pleasant. Scheduling is always easy and fits in my schedule well.if you have to go to the doctor might as well have pleasant people around.

I was very impressed with the professionalism of the entire staff. Dr Thomas was very personable and thorough. She made me feel very comfortable.

After several years with Dr Thomas, she and her staff maintains great treatment and patient care. Highly recommend!

Dr.Christie Thomas is a favorite of mine. She and her staff are excellent with appointment availability and their prompt attention. Their newer facility provides easier access to their building and helps us older arthritic folks get in and out. Thanks to them all.

Dr. Thomas was prompt, thorough and professional. She knew immediately that I had to change my medication regimen many weeks before surgery and made notes to make certain Heather saw that.

I always find Dr. Thomas professional and she listens to my concerns. I have been pleased with my care at RANA with her and her staff.

Christy Thomas is rude, dismissive, and incompetent. She has not read your chart nor will she when you call her out on it. Her misdiagnosis percentage is over 50% if she will even offer a diagnosis. When you see another practitioner after her you will get a diagnosis with a puzzled look as to how she missed it. She told me that she could diagnose me that day but wouldn’t. She said that my X-rays weren’t bad enough. I explained to her that I had had most of my fingers and toes reset which required breaking some arthritic joints. She laughed at me and asked who had done that and then called me a liar. Believe me when you have frozen joints reset you will never forget it. I was in bed for weeks and unable to use my hands or feet. RANA gets a pretty low review for keeping her employed which would surprise me but Huntsville has a physician shortage and it’s nearly impossible to win a malpractice suite. Other physicians are not a fan of hers either. Avoid her and go anywhere else. She… needs to retire and go into a field where she can’t interact with the public. She clearly does not like this job.

Yesterday, when I went to the website to confirm the address, I saw the section "reviews". For no apparent reason, except curiosity, I read the reviews. Having seen Dr Thomas before and finding her very professional and keenly interested in my care, and after reading the reviews, I wondered if Dr Thomas and the entire staff had turned into fire breathing dragons since my last visit. Most of the reviews are shameful misrepresentations of the atmosphere I found with Dr Thomas and the entire staff. These people could not be nicer. I am extremely pleased with the quality of care and I am puzzled by the number of unhappy people who have written such misleading reviews.

Definitely don’t put your health in her hands. The 1 star reviews that you read about her are accurate.

It is unfortunate that this place is so bad, as they seem to have every rheumatologist in the area working here. Dr. Thomas has an abysmal bedside manner, doesn't take you seriously (after she has diagnosed you), and will say symptoms that obviously are from your condition, RA in my case, are not from that and try to send you to another specialist, who will validate that your symptoms (example, knee pain, and swelling) are from inflammatory arthritis. After the first couple of appointments, Thomas will literally look at your knuckles and say you look great (every three months), no further assessment or questions are needed. Look at the reviews for Dr. Jalbert in Florence or for the Vanderbilt rheumatologists in Nashville or Cool Springs (which is closer for me in Madison) and you have so many with a 4.9/5.0. Look up every doctor at RANA (with the exception of their nurse practitioner who has a great reputation) and the reviews are horrible (overall). Thomas should find a new… profession.
