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.

His skills saved my life.
I became a patient of Dr. Thornton in 2019 after a routine catheterization indicated that I needed a quadruple by pass and soon. While My case had previously been turned down by other surgeons as too risky he accepted the challenge. I was blessed with a good outcome. His wealth of experience is unrivaled in the Brevard area.
