Patient Reviews
Aug 27, 2022
I became a patient of Dr. Thornton in 2019 after a routine catheterization indicated that I needed a quadruple by pass and soon. While My case had previously been turned down by other surgeons as too risky he accepted the challenge. I was blessed with a good outcome. His wealth of experience is unrivaled in the Brevard area.
