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.

Great doctor!
I have been seeing doctor Thomas for a number of years now and could not ask for a better doctor or practice. I am so thankful for TriState Orthopedic.

Review on Dr Thomas visit
I’ve known Dr Thomas for over 20 years as an RN case manager and also as his patient I always believed he was and is an excellent Ortho Surgeon, professional and expedient. Even in retirement I continue to refer to him and Tristate who have cared for my entire family.

Appointment with Dr Thomas
Doctor Thomas was kind and listened to me when I explained the pain I was having with my knee. He went over my X-ray they did of the knee and explained to me about the arthritis I have. He then suggested that he do an injection for the pain. I received the injection and by the next day my knee is feeling so much better.

Excellent! Fast and friendly!
Great experience from the beginning. The woman who scheduled me was the kindest person, staff was friendly, and Dr. Thomas is wonderful. Wait time was minimal and we were in and out quickly, but we never felt rushed. Everyone took the time to listen to my questions and explain what was happening. I highly recommend this office!

My appointment with Dr. Thomas was prompt and straightforward - he and his staff got right to the matter at hand and quickly moved on to the next steps. I had the benefit of having read my MRI report before my appointment and knew what to expect to hear from the doctor. Although, I was somewhat surprised that instead of performing an ultrasound guided shot, Dr. Thomas identified the placement of the shot the "old fashioned way" via poking around until he found the spot that I said hurt the most.

First Visit for a Second Opinion
Today was my first visit to this practice bc a friend had raved about them! I was really disappointed. The staff wasn’t very friendly and I waited for quite some time to meet with Dr. Thomas. He was in and out after 5 minutes and really seemed uninterested in what I wanted to discuss. I am extremely disappointed and put off.
