He is informative and answer all questions. He explains the patient's condition in detail and available treatments. My uncle was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He was given six months survival. Under Dr. Thompson's care and God's mercy He survived 2 1/2 years. Our family is thankful for Dr. Thompson's expertise, kindness and knowledge during his treatment.
