Dr Thomas was highly recommended by an acquaintance. I'm very thankful I had him perform my hip replacement surgery. It's been 5 weeks since my surgery. He's very good.

I agree with other reviews that were positive. I was able to get appt. and schedule surgery in a timely manner. Office wait times were short, in other words prompt. Provided a conservative course of treatment. He explained everything plainly, before and after surgery. Appropriate follow up and time spent. My knee feels great.

GREAT! Check in was wonderful, everyone was so helpful and courteous, and Dr Thomas took time to answer all of my questions and go over my x-rays with me. He helped me outline a program to help me out, and I’m getting started on it tomorrow. Couldn’t be happier!
