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.

Dr. Thompson blatantly lied to me about the risks involved with a procedure and now I'm paying for it dearly from the damage he caused. I have went to one specialist after another who agree the surgery is responsible for all I'm now going through. My life is over, I can no longer drive or leave my home with the exception of family taking me to doctor appointments. And good luck trying to get any help from his office after the damage is done...

I have abscesses when abscesses get large they need to be drained as soon as possible they schedule appointments 2 weeks at a time which gives me plenty enough time for fluid to build up under my arms and have to either go to the hospital or the abscess drains itself because of the two week delay I have been told that if I do not come to one more appointment then I won't be seen again dr. John Thompson refused to see me again even though he knows what kind of illness I have..

Fact is: my chest looks like a cabbage patch doll.. It has cause me a lot of problems from difficulty in getting a prostheses to difficulty keeping the skin from dying out (I have many small area of fatty pockets that take careful washing and keeping it dry. Dr. Thompson told me if it was still that way after a year he would fix it. On my last visit I saw the PA and was told it looked good.. who is she trying to fool... and on top of that she released me. So much for all that... Very unhappy
