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 have never been to a Dr. office where every person i met was so friendly . This was my first visit and Dr. Tompkins offer me different options to consider for my condition. Definitely will be doing a follow up with him .

Dr. Tompkins is a fine surgeon! I have been under his care for a couple of years now and really appreciate his thoroughness, kindness, humbleness, and professional bedside manner. He performed a gastric sleeve surgery on me without any complications even though I was a higher risk patient. He is one of the best for sure! I would highly recommend him. His office staff has always been accommodating and courteous as well.

Dr. Tompkins has performed three (3) different surgeries on me, all with wonderful success. To trust a doctor for additional surgeries should say it all! My well being was in his hands not once, but three times. I had been under the care of another doctor, and only getting worst daily. I believe with all my heart that God had Dr. Tompkins in the right place, at the right time, to save my life. KDMC is blessed to have access to his skills. I know that I am.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Tompkins. I have known and watched him preform surgery for many years. He is always professional and meticulous. I have personally had him do a gastric sleeve resection with amazing results. I highly recommend his services and would want him if my family would require a general surgery.

He is amazing! My son was fairly young (18) and had never had any prior surgeries. Dr Tompkins explained everything to us. I wouldn't have taken my son to anyone else!

Dr Tompkins operated on my mother and took great care of her. He took his time explaining each and every detail and risk of her surgery. He is an excellent surgeon! Ashland, Ky., and especially KDMC, is lucky to have a surgeon as skilled as him.
