The entire staff were very friendly and professional….clearly they love working for Dr. Thomas. Dr. Thomas was very detailed in explaining the procedure I needed to have done. I immediately trusted him and felt great relief that he was my Doctor.

I am so thankful for Dr. Thomas. He operated on my husband a few ago and I’m going to have surgery in a month. He is very thorough and never seems to be in a rush when he is examining you. I trust him completely!

Dr. Thomas was an absolute dynamo!! I went in thinking I had hip problems come to find out it has something to do with my back and likely won’t require surgery. Very knowledgeable professional and full of energy you can tell his staff loves him!!! Would be a great work environment.

Dr Thomas replaced my shoulder 25 years ago. This time I had a wrist injury and was pleased with Dr Thomas' attention to the injury, the manner in which he discussed the nature of the injury, and how he presented what are now limited options for treatment. Previous injuries and resulting arthritis have left the bones of my hand in bone-to-bone contact with the radius and ulna. Dr Thomas carefully explained the limited options. Dr Thomas was professional, compassionate, and provided excellent care.

Great Dr and has a very nice staff. He talks calmly and sits down with you and explains what is going on and what needs to be done. Very professional but down to earth. I will return when the need arises.
