Patients frequently praise Dr. Thomas for his excellent communication skills, compassionate care, and the ability to make them feel at ease. They appreciate his thorough explanations, willingness to answer questions, and commend his surgical expertise and professional demeanor. However, some patients report dissatisfaction with extended wait times and perceived rushed consultations, which they attribute to a lack of attention to detail and inadequate familiarization with patient charts. These negative experiences are compounded by concerns about professionalism, such as the doctor smelling of tobacco, which detracts from the otherwise positive feedback.

My experience with Dr. Thomas and his staff went very well. Front office staff and auxiliaries were friendly and kind. Dr. Thomas was excellent in explaining things to me and put me at ease. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking quality medical care.

Came in with life threatening lymph node melanoma that he diagnosed. He referred me to SCOA that took me in immediately for scans. The beginning of the next week Dr. Thomas was operating and took all the affected lymph nodes out and I have been clear for almost 9 months. He has a great bedside manner and does great work as a surgeon.

Great bedside manner, answered all questions, giving details that other dr.s could not be bothered with. Takes time with patients until they are comfortable and well informed about your issue.

I had an appointment with Dr. Thomas for a thyroid biopsy. He took time to tell me what he was going to do. He answered all my questions. His nurse Eliza was wonderful. The whole office from check in to check out is fantastic. I would highly recommend Dr. Thomas

We waited over an hour to be seen about an ongoing issue. Once we were seen, the doctor smelled of tob^cco and rushed our visit without doing his due diligence. He wasn’t even familiar with his chart, which I don’t understand why because aren’t they supposed to do that while we wait?

Absolutely wonderful!!! I recently had throat surgery and I can say , I have had sore throats which have caused me more pain, than my surgery. A true surgeon with gifted hands!!
