Patient Reviews
Oct 09, 2023
As a retired Police Lieutenant I have gone to Dr Thomas for two specific injuries. An exceptionally serious neck injury left me with constant pain and 10 screws and a titanium plate in my neck. The unbearable pain for years forced me to leave my job. Dr Thomas was very concerned about my health and treatment. It was only after years of pain that treatment with Dr Thomas changed everything. He managed to greatly reduce the pain and I also have an increased range of motion. Dr Thomas always left me knowing that my health issues were a priority with him. He is a great man
