Thorne is rude and does not seem to care about patients. Makes you feel stupid for asking questions. Did a varicocele repair surgery with him. Saw him 2 years after and he said all good even though it wasn't fixed. Saw a new urologist who confirmed he did not perform the surgery correctly. Now have additional problems and must have another surgery, horrible rude doctor.

How anyone could give Dr. Thorne less than a five-star rating is beyond me. He is the best doctor ever and is overall an awesome, hilarious guy! He makes having kidney stones a little less terrible. :)

He is very unproffesional to work with. Unapproachable, short and rude.

He is kind and attentive. Even though he has a busy practice, I felt he pain lots of attention to me.

Dr. Thorne is a very professional and caring Doctor.. I am very impressed with his expertise and his compassion. I recommend him very highly and wish all doctors were as thorough and compassionate.

Rude, short with patients and family members. Impossiable to make an appointment, could not get a hold of the staff after leaving messages for 3 days after major surgery. Avoid at all costs.

By far the rudest, curt, and worst bed side manner of any doctor. Dr Thorne treats you like you are disrupting his day. He does not follow up. He forgets my case and every phone call is Ground Hog day even though I was under his care for over 4 months and saw him over 10 times.
