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 have seen Dr. Thomas for many years, I was one if his first few patients when he started pain management. He is not perfect and he doesn't have the ability to fix or cure every pain. But he is a devoted, caring, considerate, professional doctor who makes every effort to help address your pain problems . I consider him my doctor and my friend, he has tremendously improved my quality of life for many years. If you cannot be compliant with medical and medicine guidelines dont see Dr.Thomas. I would highly recommend him to my family, my friends or anyone needing pain relief . I feel we are very Blessed to have a doctor with his skill, talent and ability in our rural area.

Average at best. Thinks everyone is too dependent on medicine. Seems impatient if you try to explain your pain in more than area.

Him and his other Doctor Kim or whatever her name is she could barely speak English they don't care a thing about you or your problem just getting their money that's all they care about it takes you forever to go see a doctor and you're back there they don't listen to you they act like they've never seen you before even if you've been gone for 3 years they interrupt you when you're trying to tell them what's wrong and then they just want to say all your pain all your problems is in your head

I would never recommend this Dr or his practicing clinic. They have an agenda of their own that doesn't include listening to their patients. Their attitude of their care is: Take it or leave it. They do not do holistic medicine, wanting you to state that you have only one thing hurting you today, which is not even realistic when dealing with arthritic pains. Their objective with me was to decrease my pain medication at nearly each visit, requardless of my level of pain. I'm searching a new Dr.

After my examination, Dr. Thomas assured me that he would help me feel better. The medicine regime I am on has me shopping, cooking, walking and doing things I haven't felt like doing in a long time. Everyone there is nice to me and I've had nothing but positive experiences. I have fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, a hip replacement, osteoarthritis and bursitis in my hips. He and his staff are concerned about all of my issues and how to help me feel better.

Well, first off, let me just say that I have a lot more to say about this doctor than it will allow me to type here, so I will have to make it short. If I could leave zero stars, I would!!! I have NEVER had such a terrible visit in my life. Basically he refused to look at ANY of my records and told me that my problem is muscular (Not true-he would know if he would have reviewed my records). He told me that my pain is in my head and basically I'm a hypochondriac. Will never EVER see him again!!!!
