This is a great place to go for all your orthopedic needs! Surgery is not the end all be all with any of the doctors I’ve been seeing. They all have tried to do the least invasive treatment(s) before going for surgery. That is important to me!

This was a postoperative appointment with staples being removed. I want to share how much I appreciate Dr. Michael Thompson and his nurse, Ally throughout my preoperative time, surgery, and current postoperative time. Allie’s professionalism and knowledge coupled with her kindness, patience, empathy, listening, skills, and prompt response are a dynamic and impressive combination, and a wonderful advocate to have when a person has questions or concerns. She is a treasure to this team. Dr. Michael Thompson’s knowledge, professionalism, patience, listening, skills, kindness, empathy, experience, maturity, and ability to talk freely about concerns are greatly appreciated! Dr. Thompson called me directly about test results and another time called me concerning a question I had before surgery again giving me concise and accurate information to make decisions very comfortably. Together these two professionals are incredible and competent team!!! Any patient would hope to have such a team to trust their care to.Thank you very much to both of you.!
