Dr.Thornton is absolutely the best physician (I can honestly say) that I've ever had. Unlike most doctors, she came into the exam room with a huge smile and infectious positive sunny attitude. After discussing the primary reason for my visit (suspicious skin abscess), she took a moment to ask me if everything ELSE in my health was okay. It took me be surprise, to be honest!! Normally, physicians I've seen in the past have only addressed the primary reason for my visit. Never really caring about "the rest." Dr.Thornton is my new primary doctor. She is absolutely the best of the best. Highly recommended.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Thornton for several years now. I've been very impressed with how comprehensive the doctor is. I also appreciate the paperless office. It makes sure nothing is forgotten.
