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 Caring
She listens and understands what you are saying and going thru. You never feel rushed

I have been a patient of Dr. Sarah Thomas for over 8 years. Dr. Sarah Thomas is really the BEST doctor that I had ever seen in US with her patience, good knowledge and great qualities and it is impossible to replace her. Right now, in search of Dr Sarah Thomas new practice location for 2021, desperately trying to find her or where she has moved to practice and willing to travel extra mile. If anyone knows any information, please kindly share.

i have been a patient of Dr. Sarah Thomas for over 7 years. I have been desperately trying to find her or what practice she has moved to. It saddens me to learn that no one seems to know where she went. And trying to find another Doctor with her patience & qualities is seeming impossible.

Dr. Thomas has been the BEST doctor in my vast experience of many doctors over my 45 adult years. You never feel rushed and she will make you very comfortable and easy to talk to. She explains things in as much detail as you want. She is extremely observant and has helped me get my blood vitals back in the normal range for the first time in over a decade. I could give so many other examples but she is just so far advanced than any of the other 20+ doctors (PCP, RA, Ortho surgeons, Cardio, and others) that I have been to.

I've suffered from RA for many years and had been to numerous rheautomalogists. Dr. Sarah Thomas is probably one of the "very" few doctors that still takes her time to listen and very pro-active in my health concerns. Gabby, her assistant is the best. She is quick to return phone calls and quick to get answer my questions. I have not met any of her front office staff I did not like.

Dr Thomas is a godsend in my fight against autoimmune arthritis. Her nurse, Gabby, is wonderful and I truly appreciate their care. Thanks to Dr Thomas I can use my hands to type and I am still able to work. My other rheumatologist told me to apply for disability and there was nothing he could do for me. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Thomas' office and nursing staff are abysmal! NEVER return phone calls, impossible to ever speak to a live person, and rarely answer emails from patient portal. When brought to her attention, the good doctor shrugged her shoulders like "oh well" - hence the "fair rating on listening and decisions. Too bad, too - good doctoring when you get with her one on one. A solid and responsive staff is critical to a healthy practice - this one needs a check-up and critical care - STAT!

As a new patient recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, Dr Thomas has taken the time to thoroughly answer all my questions. During a time of fear and uncertainty dealing with a life-altering disease, her and her staff have gone above and beyond to help me understand everything and plan a course of action to get my symptoms under control.

I'm personally shocked to see all these five star ratings. The staff is nasty, and Dr. Thomas doesn't seem to really care about her patients. I wouldn't recommend anyone to her practice. I tried to get an appointment and said I was having a severe issue. I was offered March 8th. Eight weeks for a severe issue is the best you can do? No, I'm not a new patient. I won't even go into the horrible care I received the last time I was in. Goodbye....obviously you don't need the business!

She is very receptive to discussing her treatment recommendations with her patient with explanations that instill a remarkable comfort level with her patients. She addresses questions and concerns as needed and exudes a pleasant, caring demeanor in all interactions.
