Patient Reviews
Jan 06, 2021
As an athlete, I've gotten used to seeing sports medicine doctors who rush through appointments, so I was very pleasantly surprised with Dr. Thornton. He is calm, kind, and caring and, in the 2-3 times that I've seen him, always took the time to explain the situation and answer all of my questions. I got the impression that he's a doctor for all the right reasons; he cares about his patients and truly enjoys helping people.
