        Dr. Thompson is a great doctor who knows what he is doing. He also seems to be able to adjust for my unusual medical situation, although he sometimes gives me standard advice and then corrects himself for me, which is very human. We love it when he also shows some personality, but sometimes, the office is so busy that he is all doctor and no human. That said, he is both efficient with his time and ours, and he takes time when the situation calls for it.
