Dr. Robert Thomas, MD

i was treated by Rob Thomas today (7/21/22) for a deviated septum. I will not be returning to him or anyone from trinity. i was absolutely disgusted by his comments on my weight (8+ comments) that were completely unwarranted and uncomfortable. i could have moved past if he made one to get the point across, but it was more than that. He did not look into my records to see any past things and that we are currently treating my weight. iam terrified to think about if he says these comments to people with an eating disorder or someone who is suicidal. do better.

I had 2 prior sinus surgeries and had recurring nasal polyps. I went to see Dr. Thomas and decided to have another surgery because it would relieve my painful sinus headaches and sinus pressure. The procedure was to be a day surgery and I was supposed to be home that afternoon. Dr. Thomas was very nonchalant about the procedure when he stopped in before the surgery saying he does them all the time. During the procedure Dr Thomas punctured the dura of my brain which resulted in a leak of cerebral spinal fluid. Because of the risk of meningitis i had to spend 4 or 5 days in the hospital on bed rest. I had to stay in a constant sitting position and ended up with infections in both my arms from the ivs. If I could give him zero stars I would.

My father was having constant nosebleeds and several trips to the ER just resulted in painful packing. Dr. Thomas squeezed us in the next day, quickly identified the problem and cauterized the bleeding artery. He gave us a few tips on how to keep the bleeds down (sinus irrigation, a humidifier at night), and dad's nosebleeds have all but stopped. Five stars for Dr. Thomas.

Dr. Thomas did a great job diagnosing my condition, especially since other providers had missed it. His treatment greatly improved my health, and my life.
