Dr. Bumbalo was one of the best doctors I ever had. I saw him for 8 years & he is one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever had. And I've seen my fair share of doctors in the last 15 years. I pray he can get his license back & continue to practice medicine whether in NC or another state. We are all human & we all make mistakes. And remember there are always two sides to every story. I highly recommend him even after this incident that occurred in 2010. If I could rate him 10 stars I would. He took the time to talk to me & explain things to me.

Dr. Tom Bumbalo is the best of the best. His medical capabilities and his care and concern for his patients is unsurpassed. It's horrible that the people of NC have lost his expertise, especially under such ridiculous circumstances. I sincerely hope that the NC Medical Board will do another review of all circumstances of his case and reinstate his license. If they would talk with his former patients, they'd get the TRUE story of Dr. Bumbalo.
