Dr. John Tompkins, MD

When I saw Dr. Tompkins due to a car accident, he did not pressure me into having surgery. I had no broken bones but some pain from issues with vertebrae in my neck. Dr. Tompkins told me that I would know when it was time for surgery by the pain level. He was exactly right. I appreciate his bedside manner and care.

I never got a chance for a visit. I have an aneurysm and have been seeing another doctor but thought I would get a second opinion. They made an appointment and then told me to come see them when I needed a surgeon. Why would I do that? The doctor I would like to see would do the surgery. I did not care for the staff so I am sure that I would not care for this doctor if that is how he operates his business. I will gladly seek someone else.

Referred to office after learning my back was broken.

My medical situation was explained in more detail and the course of action that’s needs to be taken.

Had a tele visit scheduled with Dr Tompkins. Had some technical difficulties so reverted to a telephone visit. Dr Tompkins was very through, asked all the right questions. After reviewing my MRI he recommended a treatment plan that really meets my needs. Feel very comfortable with his treatment and abilities

While most surgeons are quick to cut, Dr Tompkins is doing everything he can to help me avoid surgery. So when and if the time comes, I'll know it's absolutely necessary. That takes a load off my mind.

I have visited Dr. Tompkins twice for problems with my back and I really like him and his staff. They are very professional and caring. They take care of you as soon as you walk in and Dr. Tompkins will spend plenty of time with you and offers advise on your condition and the steps to take to resolve the problem.

Dr. Tompkins has an amazing team and staff members. Their expertise exceeded my expectations. From the very first moment that I stepped into the hospital, God told me that I was in good hands. I saw his Neuro team everyday of my nearly two weeks stay. They took their time explaining my condition and treatment. Never evaded any of our questions. I had all the confidence in the world that I was in good hands. My family and I was treated with the upmost respect from any employee that took care of me. Brenda Jackson is a great asset to the office staff. She is very smart and patient. Made us feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Tompkins was very easy to communicate with and made sure we understood the entire procedure. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Medical City of Plano and Dr. Tompkins again.

This is the second time I have used Dr. Tompkins. Three years ago he performed surgery to correct L2-3 herniation. It was a tremendous success. I have a C-6 issue at the moment . He has been very caring, and we are working together to AVOID surgery (imagine that from a surgeon). I am in the middle of this issue, so it remains to be seen if I will eventually need surgery. But if I do have to endure surgery, I will certainly have all the confidence in the world in Dr. Tompkins and will have him do the procedure. The staff is terrific. They call back, the are responsive, and courteous.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Tompkins for over 15 years. During this time he and his staff have successfully seen us through numerous surgeries always providing excellent care before, during and after.

After my most recent visit, I am still waiting to get a Rx that I requested. When I was there I was told that they were waiting to receive new Rx forms and they would call me when they were available. Tomorrow will be two weeks since that visit and I have yet to be contacted that I can get a Rx that I requested! I would appreciate a call!

after researching his education ,medical ,and state records ,Dr. john Tompkins was the best neurologist i could find in Plano/Richardson area . i'm very please with the results of my surgery ,because i don't have the pain nor am i living in bed ! Thank-You Dr. John Tompkins for giving my life back .....Linda S Patterson

Amazing!! Had ACDF surgery 1 year ago! I feel great!! Highly Reccomend!!

I had an ACDF preformed by Dr. Tompkins. I was scared, but he and his assistant were very thorough, and explained everything with great detail. The several times I went in and called I was always given compassion and helped.

I had a very serious condition that required surgery. Dr Tompkins was very thorough in making sure I was in a stable condition before he performed the surgery. The results have been very positive.

I would highly recommend Dr. Tompkins. My experience with Dr. Tomkins and his NP Jeff was absolutely wonderful. He was able to diagnosis, perform the surgery to relieve the pain and seriousness of my spine. The office staff was very professional, kind, compassionate and never once disappointed me or my family when being contacted for an appointment. Dr. Tompkins has a wonderful bedside manner, explains details, cares about his patients and provided excellent care. MY THANKS!

I FOUND HIM ONLINE ABOUT 2 MONTH AGO AND MADE SURE HE ACCEPTS MY INSURANCE. I GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH HIS OFFICE FOR WHICH WAS ABOUT A MONTH WAIT (UNDERSTANDABLE) A DAY BEFORE APPOINTMENT THEY CANCELLED MY APPOINTMENT BECAUSE DOCTOR HAD AN EMERGENCY SURGERY (IT HAPPENS RIGHT?) SO I WAS IN SUCH A BIG PAIN I ASKED IF POSSIBLY SEE ME IN A DAY OR TWO? THEY REFUSED GAME ME APPOINTMENT 2 WEEKS AFTER THEY CALLED AND CANCELLED AGAIN CAUSE THEY HAVE ISSUE WITH THE INSURANCE, IMMORAL & UNACCEPTABLE!

Dr Thompkins has performed three surgeries on my spine within three year period I could not have asked for a better surgeon or a better staff to work with. I was blessed when I stumbled on an Dr Thompkins. And Jeff is just a bonus.

Dr. Tompkins preformed a multi-level TLIF spinal fusion in 2012. I found him an extremely talented, professional, highly skill to perform my operation and giving great care for his patients. I experienced great success and improvement from this difficult operation. Dr. Tompkins took great care of me from pre/post surgicial state through the recovery months. He is very patience, kind, great communicator and has excellent bed side manor. Thank you Dr. Tompkins! Back patients-look no further!

Dr. Tompkins assisted in my surgery and he did an excellent job. He is very friendly. He explains everything, and he will be doing my second surgery. I suggest Dr. Tompkins to anyone.
