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.

Amazing doctor and staff
Dr. Thompson and nurse Amanda are amazing. They always asked me what I wanted to do and how I felt about what was going on. They also listened to my concerns.

I told Dr. Thompson he is my hero. I had been in pain from hip problem for so very long, and he solved the problem with a complete hip replacement. The recovery was easy and successful. I am very thankful to him for a job well done and for improving my life.

All went better than anticipated
Dr. Thompson explained and covered all the risk factors involved with the replacement of my left hip. Surgery was a breeze; I was walking that evening and without walker and cane in 3 days. Very professional, answered all my questions. Have already scheduled surgery on my right hip. Two thumbs up!

A doctor who is confident and trusting
I had a hip replacement at age 46 and went under for the first time in my life. I was first impressed by the confidence in Dr. Thompson. The procedure went far better than expected and after only days after the procedure I was walking and driving. I would recommend him and trust in him again. I greatly appreciate my renewed ability to enjoy the simple things in life without pain.

Dr. Thompson and his staff explain things well enough and I could understand it and not in doctor terms. It was an In-N-Out knee replacement surgery. They got me up walking right after everything went great highly recommended.

I had a total knee replacement and from start to finish it has been an great experience. Dr Thompson did an excellent job on my knee and he had me fully prepared for the procedure. He explained everything clearly before and at each follow up. I highly recommend Dr Thompson and I'm very confident in his work. I also had an second opinion on my procedure and that Dr said that Dr Thompson was going above the normal preparation to have his patients ready for surgery.

Recent Total Knee Replacement
I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Thompson for a knee replacement, and I am beyond impressed with the exceptional care and service I received throughout my treatment and recovery.The surgery itself was a testament to Dr. Thompson's skill and dedication. The procedure went smoothly, and I felt confident knowing I was in the hands of such a competent and experienced orthopedic surgeon.Post-surgery, Dr. Thompson and his team provided outstanding follow-up care. They were always available to address any concerns or questions I had, and their responsiveness was remarkable. Thanks to Dr. Thompson's excellent service and comprehensive recovery plan, I am almost fully recovered and enjoying a level of activity I never thought I would be able to achieve again. I highly recommend Dr. Thompson to anyone in need of orthopedic care. His expertise, compassion, and commitment to excellence make him an outstanding physician.

Excellent Orthopedic Physician
I have needed knee replacement surgery for years but was afraid to do it. Dr. Thompson was highly recommended to me. Made an appointment for a consultation and was seen very quickly. He explained everything to me, gave me a large binder with detailed instructions to follow. I had surgery a little over 2 weeks ago and am currently completing physical therapy. I am walking without assistance of a walker or a cane now. Dr. Thompson is very professional and straightforward physician and would recommend him for any of your orthopedic issues.
