Patient Reviews
Jul 14, 2022
I went to see Dr Blake Thornton for ear pain. I don’t think I’ve ever been around a doctor who is so friendly. He was very professional but personable at the same time. He was thorough in his exam and spoke to me in terms I understood. He took the time to answer all my questions and I did not feel rushed. I will 100% be recommending him to my friends and family.
