Everything about the visit was top-notch. scheduling (which is VERY important), zero wait in the "waiting room", highly informed nurses, zero waiting once in the exam room and prompt visit by Dr Thomas.

Receptionist was rude and had an attitude. Another receptionist was on phone with patient and very rude, talking very loud could easily be heard by others. Dr Thomas himself was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and very nice

I thought my inguinal hernia was strangling my intestines and thought I needed surgery right away. I’m self employed and need to finish projects before surgery. He assure me it was not an emergency and needs to be watched. He put me at ease and helped me understand how to manage my symptoms and what to look for. He reassured me. Thanks I would definitely recommend Dr Thomas and I feel comfortable letting him do my surgery
