Professional, easy to talk with and clearly described what was wrong with my foot and what needed to be done to fix it.

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.

All very professional. Dr. Thompson explained the procedures to be followed for the next five weeks of my recovery. The only thing that might have improved the encounter would be to have provided written instructions for the next five weeks, sokoto what was done at the hospital discharge following the surgery.

Sr. Thompson was great: informative, patient, kind, informed, forthcoming. He was willing to consult about both the emergent sprained ankle and chronic bunion pain, although I had forgotten to mention the latter when making the appointment. He rolled with it. A great bedside manner, affable and fully present.

- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/1/2023
Too technical in his explanations of things. Would have liked a summary and confirmation teach back of the plan of care including trigger for further treatment (ie what would be the decision for surgery vs not). Seemed to be rushed and when working with the scribe, it didn't seem as though I had his full attention as a patient.

- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/25/2023
He was obviously in a hurry and seemed to think the seriousness of the injury was beneath his interest. He did not ask what previous MRIs had revealed or ask for new ones, despite the fact that the injury has persisted and increased in severity for many years.He was polite and respectful but fundamentally seemed uninterested.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/22/2023

Pro - Dr, Thompson was very impressive and I am confident about his medical expertise and the treatment plan he has developed for me. I feel like I am in good hands.

Great visit. I had been diagnosed by a poditrist about a problem with my foot but wanted th opinion of an experienced doctor. Turns out the poditrist DID NOT diagnose the tiny growth on my foot correctly so I limped around for an entire year. Dr. Johnson quickly removed the growth and I had immediate relief.

Dr. Thompson immediately got x-rays-- 3 views of each leg and ankle-- and was able immediately to diagnose problems--including a previously unknown one. He showed me the pictures and discussed my limited options with me. When I opted for surgery, he went over the procedure and recovery process with me.
