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.

DR.THAMPY ALWAYS TAKES TIME WITH ME AND EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO ME.

We liked Dr. Thampy and most of his staff but not the office manager. I have been trying for several months to get my mom a osteoporosis shot. They entered the wrong code when submitting to the insurance company so the insurance company rejected the claim. No fault of my mom's. Now they are punishing my mom for their mistake. It's not right at all. I don't know if Dr. Thampy is behind this or not but this is the rudest we have ever been treated. They all make the big bucks and my mom is a senior on social security and they are worried about insurance covering 1 shot that was their mistake to begin with. My mom did nothing to deserve this.

Through time and patience Dr. Thampy helped me straighten out my thyroid issues. This helped me to get pregnant and have my one and only son. He is always very sweet and helpful.

Great doctor - knows his stuff
Dr. Thampy was very knowledgeable and described my thyroid condition to me better than any doctor in the past 20 years. While I had about a 30 minute wait, it was worth it.

Dr. Thampy is very very smart and if you are looking for a hand holding Dr. Welby, go elsewhere. If you want diligent medical support...he is the one to go see. I am not the best diabetic in the world and avoided several years going to him because I heard he was not friendly. I told him this on the first visit with him and he chuckled. He has been fabulous and I would disregard all the negative reports. He may not say what you want to hear....but you probably need to hear it.

Please, if you value your health, do not go to this guy! I have never had such a bad experience in my life! Doesn't say a word after waiting an eternity to see him. He is only in it for the money! His wife has a personality of a box of rocks and everytime she was there, I never got my meds that were suppose to be called in. Theres maybe one nurse there that seems to care. The staff is a reflection of him as well so dont bother! Very rude, dont listen and uncaring! The only reason I gave one star is because you have to put something. Otherwise it would be zeros.

Dr. Thampy is the single worst doctor I've ever seen in my life. Imagine all the terrible bedside manner of Dr. House from TV but without any of his ability as a doctor. After my first visit with him, all subsequent visits lasted less than 5 minutes with him coming into the room and not saying anything or answering any questions. He then exits the room and hands you a piece of paper saying to come back and see him in another couple of months. He wouldn't discuss my blood test results with me and the only reason I knew anything about the results is by signing up through the testing company and getting the results sent directly to me. His staff also don't upload or coordinate the results of your blood tests to the general hospital database so none of your other doctors end up being able to see the results of all these expensive blood tests that you've been paying for. Regarding his office, expect to wait at least an hour from your scheduled appointment time. Every time

If you want a doctor that is the expert, go to Dr. Thampe. He stabilized blood sugar readings that had been absolutely erratic for years. When my mom was in the hospital he actually showed up and monitored. He even has a great personality, although the doctor's office is not a popularity contest. I've never gone to ANY doctor and not had to wait. If you walked out not having understood your tests or diagnosis that is your own fault for not asking. Dr. Thampe is the expert. Want to be coddled? Go visit grandma. Want a great doctor? Go to Doctor Thampe.

I accompanied my daughter to her visit with Dr. Thampy. His office has a picture on the receptionist's desk of Kim Jung Un wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat. I couldn't decide what to make of this until we talked to Dr. Thampey. He berated my daughter for her career choice of immigration attorney saying something about America having "open borders". His whole demeanor was absolutely unprofessional. He interrupted my daughter several times, did not listen to her and argued with her
