Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is the best!!
He is the best! Community Health and Colorado Mesa University are lucky to have him. He really cares about his patients and he takes the time to answer any and all questions.

Dismissive
He was very dismissive. Said to use Thera Bands and YouTube for PT. Went to PT and found additional sprain. Also had developed tendinosis, and had expressed my concern from a tendon.

He sat with us and reassured us that it was a tough decision. We went through pros and cons, and he let us ask questions during the visit. He was calm and reassuring.

Dr Thun is a good Dr but he is very busy. He hurry in and I don't feel like he listens. 2 times Ihave had a diabetic ulcer under a callus. I told him and he blew me off. Once he removed the callus he found the sore. I get very frustrated!!!!!

I have really bad issues with my feet, and one of the issues is from a previous injury that's still bothering me. Dr. Thun has been great with looking at non surgical options.

Won’t listen!
I went to see Dr Thun for a hammer toe on the 2nd toe. Visit prior to surgery I asked if he would also do the 3rd toe because it also had a hammer. He said NO didn’t need that. So wore the boot for 6 weeks of non weight bearing. It has been a year and I have decreased sensation in my big toe and the ball of my foot. The 3rd toe is now going under the 2nd toe. Last visit I showed him the 3rd toe issue and he sold me for $9 a pad to put around the toe, which came off before I left the office. I don’t usually write reviews because individual needs are different, but I don’t want anyone to go through what I am dealing with.

I have see Dr Thun for 5 months. He is an amazing provider. He listens and advises whT I can and cant do and not supposed to do. I love the fact he will come in smiling, look at my wound and get an even bigger smile and it is very genuine. He cares for his patients
