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.

No help offered
Dropped my wife after she complained of serve pain after having neck ablation surgery. Offered no help or referrals for her pain.. It's been two months and she is still suffering and a lot worse off now than before the surgery with no one to help her except for our primary care doctor. Dr. Thom and his staff could care less

Could have given 5 stars
Star rating would be higher if not having to battle past the 'everybody is a drug addict and liars' to get to the doctor to be treated. Very frustrating when they have a drug screen in front of them showing different.

Wonderful Physician
I used to go to Dr. Thom when I was stationed at Scott AFB for pain management. He had the best bedside manner and was very knowledgeable and precise when it can to giving me TPI’s. I have not found another physician so far who has come close to Dr. Thom in relieving my muscle spasms and back aches

I was supposed to have my knees replaced this year, but due to my health, am unable to, so I have been seeing Dr. Thom for about a month. I am receiving the best care!! He is doing everything in his power to help me. I am walking better, my pain is less, and I am able to work more. Dr. Thom is just really thorough; he also treats me according to the physical aspects of my job, and his office has already given me a referral to physical therapy. I trust and respect him.

Dr. Thom treated my chronic pain using injections. I was skeptical about this at first because my previous physicians always treated me with pain pills. I felt numbness directly following the shots and then I experienced soreness for about a week before my pain was completely gone. I felt like the doctors I had seen in the past were trying to be my friend, but none of them actually cured my pain. Dr. Thom was very straightforward and provided an effective solution to a long term problem.

My experience with "Dr." Thom is as follows: My wife, who has served our country for the past decade, was referred to this guy due to multiple problems with her neck and back. She is so flat footed that they had to do surgery on both feet. This, in turn, throws her whole skeletal system off as every X-ray and MRI confirms. After being this mans patient for almost 2 months, shes in considerably more pain that when she started, but her Pain Management Dr. could care less as long as he gets his $.
