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.

He neglected to tell me things I needed to know before agreeing to the surgery. When I went back to see him he was unimpressed with how that affected me and when--six months after the surgery--I notified him in writing that I still had that problem he did nit even follow up.

Demands perfection of himself
Dr. Thomas was professional yet friendly and accessible (no trace of the 'God complex' that affects many M.D.s). His explanation of the cataract procedure was excellent and free of excessive jargon. The procedures were completely successful and without complications.But, here is my most important takeaway: He saw that the replacement lens in the first eye was not perfectly centered by a tiny fraction of a milometer. I wouldn't have known the difference. However, Dr. Thomas would not settle for less than perfection. he fixed the lens placement immediately. In my opinion this is the attitude you want in a surgeon, only a perfect result is acceptable.

I found Dr. Thomas to be extremely knowledgeable. He explained my problem in terms I could understand. He brought my vision to the best I ever expected in my lifetime. What a treasure in Monroe!
