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 M Thomas is informative and listens to me.
Dr M Thomas offers suggestions and draws diagrams and insists you make decisions for your care. She is not pushy for surgery. Tries everything else first. Went back monthly to see progress. Eventually had surgery. Excellent compassionate,professional, experienced Doctor. Blessed to have her in Delaware.

I called needing an appointment. Was given an appointment 1 week later. Even though I had a problem. I thought someone would call me to suggest some relief before the appointment. I was thankful for the appointment I did get. Dr. Michelle is great. Greets you with a smile and is concern. When you get to see her.

Recently called Dr. Thomas' practice to schedule an appointment for a thrombosed Hemorrhoid. When the incompetent office assistant called me back she was rude, unprofessional and since I wasn't an existent patient in their system, she told me to go to the hospital and hung up. I strongly urge people to find another practice and not subject themselves to this abuse.

Place is stuck in standards from decades ago - keep patients waiting, treat them like garbage - stack the schedule with surgeries necessary or not. Had a 100x better experience with Bayhealth C/R specialist in Dover.

One of the best surgeons I've encountered! She's calm, smart, and a good listener and communicator. I had a colonoscopy plus a hemorrhoid surgery, and she did an excellent job. I felt 100% confidence!

Dr.Thomas is excellent and would earn six stars if available, BUT...as good as she is, her administrative office is terribly mismanaged. Phone system is antiquated, no option for any Live person. 4 days after colonoscopy, with no bowel activity and abdominal pain building, several phone messages went unanswered. No return call. Beebe emergency room also were also unable to reach anyone. Result, an ER visit and Catscan to rule out a problem. Called office to inform of problem..no return call.
