Dr. Alicia Thomas, MD

Dr. Alicia C. Thomas was thoroughly uncaring and unhelpful. I saw her for a chronic anal fissure that had been resisting treatment for months. When I explained my symptoms, Dr. Thomas had no follow-up questions and seemed completely checked out the entire time. Similarly, when I expressed concern about insurance coverage for the surgery I was considering to heal my fissure, she cut me off to say that my questions would have to be addressed by the admin staff at the hospital and that she didn't know anything about that. During the exam, she concluded that she 'didn't see anything' and that my fissure had apparently healed. I was thrilled to hear this (in no small part because it meant I would never have to see Dr. Thomas again), but I was also somewhat skeptical. The next day I experienced blood in my bowel movement. While it's possible that the fissure reopened after my appointment, I can't help but wonder whether her exam was as careless and dismissive as her attitude.

I recently had hemorrhoid surgery from Dr. Thomas. I've had frieds undergo the surgery so they told me horror stories about how difficult the recovery is. I was amazed to not have any of the side effects I'd been warned about! I never had any pain and didn't even need the medicines she prescribed for pain. I took a stool softener and a fiber pill which may have helped but even going to the bathroom wasn't the least bit painful. After a week of little activity I was back in the gym and in only 2 weeks I was back to doing the same workouts as before the surgery. For office visits I'm always seen quickly and my questions professionally answered. I've seen tons of doctors and I give Dr. Thomas an enthusiastic 5 stars!
