Dr Thomas was very professional yet approachable. She explained everything to me in terms I understood what my condition is. She showed me the X-rays and made a comparison analysis of both shoulders so I could understand what is going on with my body. She's great!

Dr Thomas and the team at this clinic are incredibly friendly, informative and kind in their communication. They took time to explain each step during the visit and they followed up with me after to check on me! I really appreciate how well I was treated by every single person I encountered during my visit!

Everyone in this office has been excellent. I really appreciate the respect and compassion they have. They took the time to properly diagnose my issue and set real expectations for my recovery - actually letting me know instead of just treating me. Thank you so very much!

First visit for a chronic condition that has not required intervention until now. Dr. Thomas immediately recognized the problem, carefully explained various possible interventions, discussed my preferred course of action at some depth, and generally fit my notion of an ideal provider. Office staff was friendly and competent. The only thing I would change about the visit is the diagnosis ;-)

Dr. Thomas & her team have set a very high standard for pt. care, especially with communications. We really appreciated that she uploaded two videos to the pt. portal. For us to watch prior to surgery she arms you with info that's practical. I wish more dr.'s were like her. The team is equally supportive. Outstanding provider. Best to date!

The majority of the visit was with the physician assistant. Both were excellent.
