Patient Reviews
Feb 16, 2024
Dr Thomas Chai pain specialist first saw him when I got breast cancer and then after that since he's in sports medicine he started taking care of my knees bone on bone but he is the sweetest kindest most intelligent down to earth doctor that I have ever had the pleasure of going to he does not rush you he will sit and talk with you until you feel comfortable with leaving. I cannot say enough about Dr Thomas Chai in The Woodlands. I cannot say enough about Dr. Thomas Chai and he is also at Holcomb and Fannin. Dr Chai you are a wonderful brilliant sweet man and I thank you for all that you did for me. I thank you for being so patient you're just so awesome and your parents have to be so so proud of you. I love this man. I love this doctor.
