Patient Reviews
May 21, 2020
Dr. Thompson scores a perfect 5, only because I can't give him a 6 or a 10! A very skilled and professional surgeon who is willing to take the time to discuss any concerns, and to compare the options, and the pros & cons of different IOL's that are suitable for the patients requirements. He removed cataracts and did IOL implants in both eyes with great results; ...even better than I had hoped for or expected. Would highly recommend; and would choose him again without any hesitation.
