Dr. Thompson gave careful consideration to the Emergency room excellent care for me and reviewed the report from the fall on my patio, x-rays and other helpful suggestions. He will see me for another x-ray and confirm that there was not a break or fracture. He also recommended better shoes and to continue daily exercise to approve my balance.

Dr. Thompson listened well to what I had to say. He was prepared and had reviewed c-rays in advance of our consultation. He gave me very clear instructions for follow-up care and scheduled a follow-up appointment. I was very happy with the quality of care.

Dr. Thompson has truly been a blessing for me. I could not have had a better experience with him and would recommend him to anyone with foot/ankle issues. I spent years in pain, using braces and medications that allowed me to walk. After my fusion surgery with Dr. Thompson I am walking without medication, braces, or pain - amazing! He is endlessly patient and replies to my questions clearly. He managed my expectations prior to surgery and helped me understand what to expect in the future. I feel so lucky to have him as my doctor!
