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.

I cut two nerves on my hand. First the ER send me to see a plastic surgeon and I was not satisfied so I call the Script orthopedic. I met with Doctor Thompson for about an hour when he explained what my injury is and how we will fixed that. The surgery went well and I am recovering. He and his staff were very nice and have done everything to help the process of the surgery and the recovery. I recommend him for any orthopedic injury. He is the best. Thanks to him.

Dr. Thompson - and his staff - are wonderful. I broke my wrist, and he saw me without an appointment, and scheduled surgery right away. He is caring, spends time with his patients, and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Came in on Tuesday after my son broke his hand Sat late night/Sunday am... we went to Pomerado ER as it was closer, big mistake! After the run around getting our X-rays, we were able to get in to Dr. Thompson... he worked and worked and worked to try and get my son’s finger back in alignment. We are headed to surgery on thursday, but feel confident as he is top notch and we have already been through their OT team from a prior injury. Really great doctor!
