Patient Reviews
Aug 23, 2020
Dr Thompson is a caring professional that listens to me. Now only online but still answers all my questions and works to improve my overall health. Because of Dr Thompson my kidney values have improved since i have been seeing him. He encourages me to eat better and does not rag on me for things I should be doing but are not. He encourages rather than discourages and I feel positive after appointments which is wonderful and very different from most providers.
