Patient Reviews
The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Thomason.
“To discuss hip pain. Dr. Thomason is excellent in both bedside manner and skill as a Doctor and Surgeon.”
– Elizabeth H.
“Doctor Thomason is 'in my opinion,' unusual. He meets with potential patients and current patients instead of having an assistant give personal facts and details concerning a potential operation. He takes time to discuss issues a patient may have a concern. Dr. Thomason is thorough, detailed, and happy to provide the information which allows patients to make good decisions. Dr. Thomason is highly regarded and recommended by all who have been fortunate enough to find him and have his expertise in surgery. He is "the best." I would not consider a different doctor for replacement surgery. My 2nd knee replacement will occur next month. I will follow Dr. Thomason's advice, and the 2nd surgery will go as smoothly as the first surgery. The results "amazing." Thank you, Dr. Thomason, for being the doctor who cares, concerned, efficient and thorough.”
