He was horrible. He told me I had cancer, and I got a second opinion in Knoxville and it was negative (simple cluster cells). Before I got the 2nd opinion, Dr Thompson said the tumor operable but he already made me appointments for Chemo & Radiation with his Morristown Hamblen/Covenant buddies. I believe they have a Scam Ring to get the most amount out of Insurance as possible. From the moment I had an ultrasound, the ultrasound guy(Morristown Regional Diagnostics aka Morrisown Hamblen/Covenant) recommended Dr. Thompson (Hamblen/Covenant), and Dr. Thompson made me appts with radiation/chemo with a Hamblen/Covenant guy. And I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE CANCER. It was cluster cells. Watch out for these people, they need to be investigated by the FBI.

Dr. Thompson has been my surgeon for years. He found my cancer when no one else thought anything was wring with me. He is extremely knowledgeable about the latest techniques and his bedside manner is excellent. You could not be in better hands.
