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.

Trigger Finger
Dr Thomas is a wonderful doctor. Brought my adult autistic son to have his trigger finger treated. Dr Thomas was patient explaining what was to be done. His beside manner was terrific.

A confident and caring doctor
Dr. Thomas is a confident and caring doctor. He personally followed up with me the day after the surgery. I felt reassured and comfortable the day of the surgery, knowing that he was my physician doing my surgery.

HIGHLY recommended: thorough, professional, warm
I saw Dr. Thomas for a second opinion on what had been diagnosed as carpel tunnel syndrome. He confirmed the diagnosis after a level of testing that went beyond what the previous specialist had done and explained my options clearly, in detail, and in both technical and layman's language. After some months of conservative treatment, I opted for the surgery that would enable me to stop wearing a wrist brace at night and address lingering daytime symptoms. The surgery and recovery were easy and uneventful. Dr. Thomas provided an unusual (in my experience) level of post-surgery support and has, to boot, rather a good 'bedside manner'. I recommend him highly.

Awesome Doctor
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Thomas. He’s performed endoscopic carpal tunnel surgeries on both my wrists and recent repair of biceps tendon tear. Wrists back to normal, and arm healing great. Dr Thomas took great care when making the incision on my arm and in suturing to ensure minimal damage to my very expensive and extensive tattoo work - and let me tell you you can hardly see the scar! Amazing! Dr Thomas is also extremely personable and extremely technically proficient - explains everything in detail highly recommend!

Great doctor with a nice personality.
My visits with Dr.Thomas has been great. I have a wrist problem that needed a specialist to help me with getting it back to normal and he was the Dr. for the job. The whole staff was very friendly and helpful with anything I needed. I would definitely recommend Dr. Thomas to anyone out there looking for a great hand surgeon or any type of hand injury you might have. Dr Thomas also works with a lot of football players from the NFL And other sports organizations. I’m very happy with my decision to choose Dr. Thomas as my physician to take care of my wrist problem and I know that anyone else out there would be just as happy as I am to have Dr. Thomas for your hand and wrist problems too.

Outstanding!
Dr. Thomas was thorough in analyzing the cause of my wrist pain and his treatments have been undeniably successful. He explains things in terms that are understandable, is personable and punctual. I drive over 30 minutes to his office and wouldn’t do that for just any doctor!

Great doc!
Have seen Dr. Thomas for a couple of hand/wrist issues. This visit was for trigger finger. Received a cortisone shot which I was concerned about, however Dr Thomas assured me it wouldn’t be horrible-and it wasn’t! He was also happy to answer some other questions regarding some nerve issues and gave me a referral. Always very thorough and right to the point. Addresses all concerns and great beside manner. The front desk employees were also very nice and there was virtually no wait to get in to see Dr. Thomas.
