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've been a patient of Dr Thompson's since early 2013 when diagnosed with cancer. He suggested both chemo & radiation together and those treatments took care of it. He is very dedicated with follow up and since has found cancer in each of my lungs at early stages and wasted no time referring me to the appropriate surgeons to also take care of it. He is very smart and at the top of his game at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone. Tips my hat to him and his staff. Thank you Dr Thompson.

A very intelligent and caring doctor with a great bedside manner who truly cares for his patients. He listens to their needs and concerns and responds and explains things in detail...couldn't ask for a better doctor or team of caregivers to have on your side...I consider him/them a true blessing
