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.

I recommend anyone to Dr Thompson, he is very professional.

Very pleasant. Dr Thompson is very attentive to his patients . I truly Believe he saved my life by insisting that I have a colonoscopy that discovered I had colon cancer.

Took time to listen and showed concern as I described my accident and injuries. In no way did I feel rushed for him to get to his next patient. Also Dr. Thompson immediately sent in referral to the orthopedic doctor who I was able to see upon leaving my appointment with him. Thanks so much.

Although I have been with Dr. Thompson for just over 2 years, I really appreciate his care for me. I was looking for a doctor who is interested in whole person health. While I have had the need for certain medicines to help me through certain issues, Dr. Thompson has helpfully focused on what aspects of life need adjustment to achieve long term health in my life. He also takes the time to listen to what life is like, which is a key aspect to what our bodies are dealing with, instead of rushing through appointments after hearing about a few symptoms. I heartily recommend him as a caring, detailed primary care doctor!

I appreciate Dr. Thompson’s care whenever I see him. He is very thorough in explaining what is going on with me. Always listens to my concerns, ask questions to find out what is going on with me, checks records to see when certain procedures have been done, gives results in a manner that I can understand, and informs me of next possible steps that need to be taken. I appreciate him so much.
