I was very impressed with Dr. Thorne's bedside manner. I never felt that he did not give enough attention to my questions, in fact he even took time to ask if any of my siblings had questions and to answer them. He was very thorough answering questions and you could tell he really cared. It was very easy to schedule an appointment with him. aside from bedside manner i would say he is an excellent surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone. One of my favorite doctors i've ever had.
