Patient Reviews
Nov 17, 2023
Dr. Thoman was highly recommended to me by a friend and by my family doctor. I had a very good result from a laparoscopic inguinal hernia operation. He had a very well-written description of the operation and associated issues prepared for my pre-operation interview. He was able to schedule the interview and surgery quickly. I had a pain-free recovery to normal activity with no complications whatsoever. I would highly recommend him.
