Dr. Thomas Thornton, M.D. performed my hernia surgery and I am 100 % satisfied with every aspect of the entire process. He personally was very thorough in explaining things to me and patiently answered all my questions before and after the surgery.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Michael Paulsell is an excellent surgeon. He has always done my colonoscopies and EGD procedures. He does a biopsy when needed and any other follow up procedure he deems necessary to make a definitive diagnosis. He always schedules a follow up appointment to discuss my test results with me in person, informs me of my treatment care options and prescribes whatever medication he determines will help. Dr. Paulsell is excellent and I plan on staying with him for any procedures I may need in the future, which would be within the realm of his expertise. Also, I always recommend him to any of my friends, family, and anyone else in need of his profession.
