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.

What I value is that Dr. Thompson is a good listener, his staff treats you with respect, and appointments are on time. He really listens to your questions and explains answers in terms that you can understand. His staff speak to you with respect and treat you respectfully. Appointments are On Time. I did not sit in the patient waiting area for very long at all, nor in the room where you are seen by the doctor. Everything runs smoothly. As well, the medical information for my health is on point. I very much understand my health situation and why I need any medications or tests recommended by Dr. Thompson. I would very much recommend Dr. Thompson.

My visits were quite strange, Dr. Thompson was kind and seemed to care about me... although he would not perform tests that I needed to get a diagnosis when I asked. Almost seemed like he pretended to care but would not help me get closer to a diagnosis. Decided to see a different cardiologist who specialized more in my problems.
