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.

We could not have asked for any better! Dr. Thompson and his staff set the bar high when it comes to professionalism and knowledge. He is by far what I consider "Best In Class." Dr. Thompson was a bright light in what had become my daughters darkest days. Thank you to him and his wonderful team!

Dr. Thompson is an excellent physician and repaired two PFO's in my heart with the NobleStitch procedure successfully. He is very kind and compassionate and I would recommend him to anyone needing a competent and caring physician for their cardiac issue. His staff were extremely helpful and the entire experience was a positive one with a great outcome. I can't thank him enough!

Dr. Thompson is an excellent doctor. We went to him for a second opinion regarding our 5 year old son for a possible open heart surgery. After examining him, he recommended a cathetherization instead and it worked to solve my son's condition. Dr. Thompson is very personable, explains everything in details in terms you can understand and he truly cares for his patients. I highly recommend him!
