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.

He has no bedside manner. Sat in corner away from patient. Talked over patient. Made patient cry. Dismissed patients concerns. Office front office in bad mood. Never looked a patient charts before appointment. Was not prepared.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS: Rude, unprofessional, horrible
Worst interaction with a health 'professional'. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Zero interest, no bed side manor, & no communication skills. I left in tears out of frustration & wasted my time by showing up. It was not an uncomfortable setting to discuss health concerns. I ended up not discussing what I intended. After many months of being nervous to discuss my concerns, I made the unfortunate decision to book a '1st available' appt with Dr. Thompson.He entered the room without knocking as I was changing into a gown (nurse had only left 2 min prior), didn't say his name, visibly & audibly annoyed, rushed, & he oddly sat himself far in the corner. I mentioned in pre-appt notes that I needed a follow up on a life impacting emergency (legit issue) & he started by saying 'Uhhh, what about that do you want me to say?' in an annoyed tone, didn't ask for background info & down played. His uninformed 'suggestions' were mocking & dismissive . The rest of the appt was unprofessional to say the least...

Dr. Thompson has always been very responsive to my health maintenance. I've been trusting my hypertension monitoring and medical treatments for seven years. It is now better than ever!
