Patient Reviews
Jul 31, 2016
I have received excellent care from Dr. Thorburn. I've had a PMR condition for the last 5 years, which flares up at various time. I try to keep active as possible in retirement, mainly with hiking, and her care has enabled me to do so. Email responses are very prompt, and each office visit is always a positive experience.
