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.

Very helpful in knowledgeable.

Back surgery experience
This visit was my post op appointment with Dr. Kirk Thompson. Dr. Thompson did an excellent job of explaining the progress I have made so far in the recovery period. Dr. Thompson explained the importance of what activities I could do, and should not do to experience a successful recovery from back surgery. He has a genuine concern for his patients. I have undergone several surgeries over my lifetime and have never had a surgeon display such professionalism bedside manner nor concern for his patient. I would recommend Dr. Kirk Thompson to friends and family without hesitation. Bottom line he is on the A plus plus list of surgeons that I have had experience dealing with over the years.
