Patient Reviews
Feb 17, 2024
I'm very pleased with my experiences with Dr. Thomas, especially in terms of working with my limited budget. I have several health challenges and he has opted to simply watch my condition periodically and, when needed, offer treatments that minimize my out of pocket expenses. Many other doctors might be pressuring me to go for expensive operating room solutions whereas, when needed, he's given me laser treatments on the premises which have fit my budget much better. Kudos to one of the best laryngologists anywhere. Glad to have him here in Portland.
