Featured Review
Dr Thal operated on both my right and left rotator cuffs in 2008 and 2012. The results of both surgeries were excellent. He was always kind and competent to say the least. When I injured my left knee recently, there was no other doctor I wanted to help me. He responded to my email within 45 minutes of my calling him. He’s the best and I share that with anyone I know who needs an orthopedist.
