Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Broken arm ER visit
My son broke his arm in two places and Dr. Thompson was our attending ER doctor. He was very kind and patient at the hospital and went above and beyond to personally call me the next day to ensure we were set up with a surgeon and in good hands. Being in his care in those stressful moments were very reassuring, we appreciate him very much!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Thompson?
Dr. Thompson is incredibly rude and condescending! I was rendered to him by a nurse practitioner in regards to my ADHD and the medication I have been taking in order to help me get through my PhD program. I just moved here and needed a new doctor. He told me that if I can't get through my program without my prescription, that maybe I shouldn't be in my program. I wonder if he would tell a person with diabetes that if they can't get through life without their insulin that maybe they should die!?!
