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.

Dr Thompson really spent time patiently explaining skull structure, neurosurgery, and answering all my questions

After multiple consultations upon discovery of my brain tumor, Dr. Thompson was clearly the best choice, hands down. His knowledge, training and experience were top notch - as was his positive and caring attitude. He has kept me going for over a decade now, with BRAIN CANCER, and is my personal hero. The 7 hour trip to Vanderbilt, for continued monitoring of my condition is well worth the effort. Rest assured you are in the best position for a optimal outcome in his gifted hands.

When every other neurosurgeon in my area have me a death sentence, Dr Thompson, have me hope & a second chance at life. He was the ONLY one willing to remove my rare brain tumor.
