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.

Definitely the best doctor !
Dr. Frank is the most gracious, informative doctor I have ever gone to! I leave his office understanding and feeling no stress as I know he has explained what the problem is and what should take care of the problem. He doesn’t push surgery as many doctors do and the patient is given the alternative and decision. I worked in medical for 25 years and I have never met such a fabulous doctor. Thank you for my great medical care! You are the best!

Excellent care
I started going to Dr.Thomas when my insurance changed. He was very informative and said right away he doesn’t jump into surgery. We attempted an injection but it didn’t last so he had an MRI performed. Had surgery and have had injections since and they last much longer. Felt I was heard, treated and followed up in a professional manor!

What is a review title
Very knowledgeable. He's very friendly and he spends time explaining what is happening. He cares about my concerns. He did not rush my surgery. He always said 'when your ready.' His office staff is the best. I will always use Dr. Thomas.

My first visit to Dr. Thomas’ office was awesome. Everyone was so reassuring and makes you feel like you have come to the right place. Questions were answered professionally and with genuine kindness. All follow up calls with his staff have been helpful and again answered with kindness. Would highly recommend Dr Thomas and his whole office.

Dr Thomas has been treating my whole family for years now. There just aren’t the words to explain what a caring, capable and compassionate man he is. I would trust Dr Thomas to treat any medical issues, in my experience he is not surgery happy. Dr Thomas treats his patients in the least invasive way possible first. My family feels like we have found a family member and not just a doctor.

I am So pleased with Dr Frank Thomas. I would recommend him to anyone. In March 2016 I had 2 total double knee replacement surgery. He did a magnificent job with my care even treatment leading up to me deciding when I was ready for surgery. Dr Thomas and his staff is compassionate, caring and professional. Now I'm able to do all those things I lost due to severe pain. I regained my life back through surgery! Rhonda

Most importantly, his oversight of, and surgery on a dangerously infected elbow expedited the healing process and enabled me to continue traveling for my work and to heal completely. He was always available for me to see on short notice and at times convenient for me. His no-nonsense, candid and very direct way of dealing with the injury was refreshing. He made me feel comfortable and has a tremendous rapport with his staff and great "bedside manner" in dealing with patients. A top doc!
