He’s kind, which is extremely important to me! He examined, had X-rays completed, discussion, gave me a shot, and lastly discussed what is next. All of this in one visit! Thanks!

My follow-up visit with Dr. Thornburg was excellent. He let me know he was pleased with my improvement and encouraged me to continue doing the same exercises and walking that are helping me gain strength and better balance and coordination. He always says to just let him know if I feel like I need him for any problems! I know I can count on him to be there to help me and give me guidance on how to maintain my ability to stay independent as I age! I recommend him highly!

I have seen Dr. Thornburg for a few visits and he is always friendly and takes the time to listen to my issues. His explanations are thorough and in laymen’s terms so I can understand them. Although busy, he never seems rushed.
