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 helpful

I know this is a common ailment he sees probably every day but I feel he could have been more explanatory in each procedure for me to make the decision. I have complete trust in him but hope I have chosen the correct procedure.

Carpel Tunnel Release Surgery Sucess
I was amazed on how quick and efficient this procedure went. Not to mention the great results as now I'm pain and numb free after 2 weeks of surgery. Everyone was kind and knew exactly what to do at all times. I was back to work in 10 days. No bandages or brace. Thank you Summit for my hand back.

Great Doctor
Dr Thomas was so good. Whether it was explaining what the problem was or all the options that were available. The surgery was a great success. Little to no pain just a fe ibuprofen the afternoon of surgery and the next afternoon. I highly recommend him as a doctor

Dr Thomas, Scott, Sara, Kelly and the entire team are the absolute best!!! I had severely broke my wrist and Dr. Thomas was a master at putting it back together again. Scott is so knowledgeable and was incredibly helpful during the entire process. Sara always knows what you need and makes a doctor visit fun. Kelly Zemke is the absolute best hand therapist who got my hand working again! She’s amazing! Everyone from the receptionists, x-ray techs, nurses all gave the best care. I would highly recommend this team, their care and talent is extraordinary! Im so grateful for all of them.

Broken wrist
Dr. Thomas and his team are really great, talked to me in a way that I completely understood what was going on. I had Dr. Thomas perform surgery on my hand over 8 years ago and it was a complete success. I'm glad he's around!

Dr. Thomas is the best!
Dr. Thomas quickly diagnosed my condition, which I thought was something entirely different. He presented options for proceeding so that I would experience less pain. His expertise is evident, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable hand surgeon.

Fantastic experience!
Dr. Thomas and his team were timely, friendly, and informative. Dr. Thomas was patient, and detailed in his exam, diagnosis, and what the healing process would entail. I appreciated him drawing pictures as he explained the situation, as it helped me to better understand the 'why' of my pain. I felt heard and I am hopeful for a full recovery. It was a fantastic experience! I highly recommend Dr. Thomas and his team.

Sadly disappointed in outcome
After 3 tries, my finger is the SAME as when I started over 2 months ago and 3 surgeries. Dr. Thomas has been educated in Germany and Sweden and New York- he’s had a lot of experience, but surprisingly we just couldn’t seem to get it right-(yet) at fixing my finger tendon!?!- the 3rd opinion Dr (Summit orthopedic Dr) said that basically it was “all my fault” for the failed attempts- but I’m not sure that’s correct, since I did everything the Drs team said to do!?- now they want me to see another Dr at Summit who’s younger and not nearly as ‘seasoned’ as Dr Thomas because he's(Thomas) is on vacation till February!?- I’m so tired of this. I believed in Dr Thomas and his abilities, but after 3 failed surgeries it’s difficult to feel confident about anymore attempts at a successful outcome. Disappointing is an understatement, to say the least. Im hopeful that this final attempt, with a replacement Dr will be a success.
