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. St. Thomas is a constant professional with a wealth of knowledge. He has helped both my fiance and I overcome herniated discs over the last couple of years. I would happily recommend him to anyone struggling with back pain.

Dr. Derek is by far the best doctor I’ve been to. He’s not cheap but this is a true example of “you get what you pay for” and if you want quality treatment and to be heard - this is the person you see. He helped my son get out of pain so he could continue training with his lacrosse team and fixed my back and knee issues that I’ve had for years. Great bedside manner and sense of humor. Highly recommend!

I was in a car accident 3 years ago and lost feeling and function in my left leg. I spent years in surgery and going doctor to doctor but never got the relief I needed or full function of my leg back. After breaking down crying in my Ortho's office he gave me a referral to Dr.St.Thomas. Naturally, I thought a chiropractor referral was a joke, however, he is nothing like the Chiropractors you're use to. I made an appt with him and not only did he spend an unprecedented amount of time with me that no other doctor has ever done, he truly listened to me and explained things in a way that made sense. That night, I slept w/o medication for the first time in years. I've only been working with him for three weeks now but I'm already moving my leg more and able to stand on my own w/o assistance of a cane. I know this won't be a quick fix but for the first time I feel optimistic that I'll be able to walk on my own and hopefully one day even run again.

Since I started to see Dr. St. Thomas, 2 months ago, the abdominal pain and spasms from which I’ve been suffering for 2 years, due to a car accident, have subsided by 70%. I can breathe better and my digestion has improved. I feel lucky to be working with such an empathetic and knowledgeable therapist who has, above all, a great desire to help.

I arrived at Duke's unable to walk due to extreme plantar fasciitis. Dr Derek St Thomas started treating me weekly and within a 2 month period not only was a walking pain free but back to running. I was PRing my times and going further distances with his help too! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr St Thomas and Duke's. If you are looking to be healed and not just put a bandaid on it then I suggest going to Duke's and working with Dr St Thomas.

Dr. St Thomas is an exceptional chiropractic physician. I initially saw him earlier this summer because of acute lower back pain, as well as chronic shoulder problems. He listens carefully, offers reassuring advice, and provides effective and healing treatment. I think his most compelling quality is his quiet confidence. Through a variety of techniques - ART, Graston, Epat, and Stim - Dr St Thomas eliminated my pain. I am so grateful to him, and highly recommend his care.

Dr. St. Thomas is very personable. He was able to target my issue, put a plan in place on how we were going to fix it, and help relieve some of my pain in less than 30 minutes. He's thoughtful, thorough, and a good listener.

Best doctor I have seen in years! I'm back on my feet running and exercising again consistently for the first time in a long time. Has a wonderful bedside manner, really listens and gives you the treatment and help you actually need to get better. This isn't your typical Chiropractor... he's actually going to take care of you and send you home with the tools you need to stay well. Will be a loyal patient for life. Highly recommend him to all.

I have endured chronic plantar fasciitis for years. I have purchased the boot, the night socks, custom orthotics, and had cortisone shot with little to no relief. An sport instructor referred me to Duke Chiropractic. I have seen Dr. St Thomas for the past 3 weeks and am thrilled. The treatment is addressing my fasciitis issues and not masking it, - Dr. St Thomas is dramatically improving the quality of my life with every treatment.
