This is the only person to see about thoracic surgery. Do not waste your time with anyone else. Dr. Thomas is the top surgeon in the country and you’ll see why. He is straight forward and kind, patiently explaining to me the details of my procedure and what to expect. He eliminated the fear and I knew immediately upon meeting him that I was in the very best care possible. His staff is a pleasure to deal with: responsive and professional. They return phone calls, answer questions and follow up-what a revelation.

Dr. Thomas is an amazing, wonderful and patient surgeon. He makes the time to explain everything to my Mom who was diagnosed with a terminal illness. His knowledge and expertise are at the top of his game. I would recommend Dr. Thomas to anyone who needs a skilled and excellent cardio thoracic surgeon. His bedside manners are second to none.

He is not someone you want to give less than 5 stars to. It may seem too embellishing to say "this person gave me a new life", but in fact that's exactly what he did! There are no words to describe the total care he showed to me. I thank him every day.
