Lori A Thompson, MD

I’ve given Dr. Thompson 3 appointments worth of chances and will not return. Each appointment became a lecture about how I needed to lose weight despite all of my vitals being perfect. She told me to change my diet and exercise without asking what my diet and exercise was. Even after I told her I was exercising, she said it wasn’t enough because I was SO unhealthy. I shared that I have a history with eating disorders after she told me I needed to categorize foods as good and bad. I told her that when I categorized food like that in the past, I stopped eating. Dr. Thompson continued to lecture me and ignored my ED history. Most recently, I visited for a med refill. After lecturing me about my weight again, she told me to come back in 6 months for a med check in. When I looked at my appointment summary online, I saw that she had, unbeknownst to me, listed “weight check” as the reason for my next visit. Dr. Thompson does not practice trauma informed medicine. Please be cautious!

She was my primary doctor for over 15 years. I had a terrible depression episode and in the midst of trying to find the right medications that would help me, she decided she no longer wanted to work with me because I was depressed and dropped me, making my depression even worse.

After trying to find a doctor for many issues. And being told to go to the ER by my regular doctor because he could not help me to the extent I need. The ER handed me a sheet of primary physicians of family med to choose from. In which I chose this doctor. They accepted and made an appt with me. I guess in the ER when they ask who my doctor was I told them I was in the middle of trying to switch and have her as my doctor. When it came time for my appt with Dr Lori Thompson. Some how it was already said that she was my doctor. She came in the room refused help, treated me horrible and said she was not going to accept me, etc. She also told me stay away from IMA and IU Health hospital. How some that takes the oath for equal treatment of patients I believe she is way offol. It is so upsetting to see an IMA doctor that is supposed to be professional and part of standards completely degrade and disrespect people. My opinion there are way better doctors out there I would choose one of… them.

Long waits, makes patient feel rushed.

Lori Thompson has been my doctor for many years. She is kind and compassionate and really takes the time to listen to your concerns. Every single visit to her has been a positive experience. I am so grateful she is my primary care physician.

A few years ago my insurance changed so I had to find a new doctor. I had been going to Dr Thompson for several years and was very happy with her but my new insurance wasn't accepted at their office. If it hadn't been for that I would still be going there. She is a very caring person and listens and spends time with you, not just in the room for 3 minutes and then out the door like many other doctors. I would recommend her to anyone needing a doctor. She is great!

I would not recommend this doctor for the following reasons: a) after visiting her office several times I got the impression she did not care. In fact there were no follow ups for a physical exam. B) the waiting time was ridiculous. At one point I left after 45 minutes of wait. C) drug refills and making appointments always took longer and often I had to call to remind her to send the prescription refill. Terrible doctor and I would not revmend this person to anyone seeking health care.

Dr. Thompson is skilled, caring and very helpful.

Dr. Thompson is a great Dr. She's very kind, patient and takes the time to listen. When you are in her office you'll feel like it's just you and her. I'd recommend her to anyone! Keep up the great work Doc!

Dr. Thompson is by far a very caring and highly skilled physician. She spends time with each patient to get to the problems, does careful analysis and choosing of tests, and knows what kind of questions to ask to get the info she needs. She reminds me of the old-fashioned docs I had as a kid growing up in the 50's and 60's... I try to keep my information and discussions to the point, so I don't waste her time. However, she makes one feel that she is taking her time with you so you can rest assured she isn't rushing through her visit because she has to see "x" number of patients in a day or can only spend so many minutes with each patient... she cares about people.
