Patient Reviews
Oct 30, 2023
I have been a patient of Dr Thornquist for many years. He is genuine, caring, and has wonderful gentle skills. Exams are thorough, never rushed, and he sees that you have everything you need before you leave. He is so easy to talk to and has always explained things thoroughly. I highly recommend him.
