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 Johnson was very good at his job and very informative and reassuring in our case. We are grateful.

I'm so impressed by Dr Thomas he was the only doctor who listened and was always professional, friendly, and informative. He had our sons surgery done so fast I couldn't believe it and I'm very happy with his care. 10/10 I would definitely recommend this doctor.

There is not a better pediatric urologist, in my opinion. He went far above and beyond with our patient who was 2 at the time of her lengthy surgery and hospital stay.

Dr Thomas quite possibly saved my daughter’s life! I wish I knew the name of the lady who did her ultrasound but I want to thank her too for her skill and finding the issue. Dr Thomas did emergency surgery to correct a very rare issue (his 5th case in 15 years) that my daughter apparently was born with but nobody knew until she hit puberty. He listens, he explains, he is very kind, and you can tell that he loves the children he helps. I trusted him with my daughter’s life and I’m so thankful God led us to Dr Thomas just in time. I would recommend him over and over again. He even gave me a hug and calmed me down when I was loosing it. Thank you thank you thank you! My daughter even asked him to sign her shirt and thanked him for making her better:)

Dr. Thomas is a great doctor. However the scheduler needs to learn how to schedule surgeries appropriately. Parents that have jobs can't just up and take off and have to plan for surgeries. Very aggravating when you schedule your surgery and request off and then they want to call and say the doctor won't be there when they scheduled you. This has happened twice to us! I can understand once but twice. Ridiculous

My child and I came due to previous UTI recovery. Ultrasound was done and No damage was found. Regardless I was urged to have my daughter tested for VUR (urinary reflux). When I tried to ask questions about the testing Dr. J. Thomas responded "Mama are you tired?" I was immediately insulted because of his arrogance to not listen to me and answer my questions fully. I asked if there were non dairy probiotics could recommend, if she had VUR then he'd to prescribe antibiotics for 1 year. He didn't.
