First time meeting Dr Thompson. The office was well staffed with friendly assistants. My wait time in waiting room was very short, dint even finish my paperwork! My wait time in consultation room was also very quick; the doctor was very welcoming and explained everything and made me feel very comfortable and confident in my treatment plan. Highly recommend!

This was a consultation for relapsing pain in the cervical spine. Dr. Thompson explained my options plainly, enabling me to determine the next step that can best address my pain. She is knowledgeable, communicates well and I can recommend her fully.

I can't find enough praise for Dr. Thomson. She performed an epidural on me on Aug. 15. I was very anxious, but she put me at ease and assured me that I would not have any pain. She was awesome! She explained her procedure with elegance and knowledge and I felt better. She was right. I didn't feel any pain at all. Thank you Dr. Thomson. Ur are wonderful!

Love Dr. Thomson’s honesty, knowledge & professionalism. I have a complicated situation and she tries conservative procedures first. Unfortunately the facet injections did not work for me so we are considering the Radiofrequency ablation. However I am to see a neurologist before the procedure. I’ve been to many physiatrists, unfortunately, but she is the ONLY one I trust & have respect for. She does not rush you & explains everything.

I just had THE BEST preliminary consultation with Dr. Thomson! She completely listened to me, sympathized with me, explained everything, and is giving me hope! Instead of dreading a procedure I am now looking forward to it!!

Dr. Thomson is the best! I’ve had epidurals, nerve blocks, and trigger shots. All painless was only a topical spray. She is also very sweet and kind and answers is all of my medical questions. I was with her at the Valley Hosp and followed her here to GSOA. I refuse to go to anyone else and consistently recommend her to others.

I have been to many doctors and Dr. Fani Tomson is over the top. She was decisive in her diagnosis and her explanation. I was given different diagnosis's by 3 other doctors. My acupuncturist & she are the only ones who said I need facet injections. I totally trust her opinion. Only to add that she is nice & caring.
