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.

The Greatest Doctor on Earth!
I have been going to Dr. Thomas for many years. There is no doctor on earth that will give you the attention, care and knowledge that Dr. Thomas has. The team she has created around TWC is nothing less of amazing. If you haven't tried TWC, give it a shot!!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Thomas-Hemak?
Dr. Thomas is the most compassionate and caring doctor I have seen in a long time and she knows what she's talking about and I am a complicated case with autoimmune and other odd illnesses and she didn't write me off like most other Dr's did, she listened, got to the bottom of it and took care of it. She actually hears you and time doesn't matter she won't rush you so if I have to wait for her I don't mind. She's that good!! I could go on and on, but trust me she is smart and caring and is the whole package.
