Patient Reviews
Jan 13, 2020
I did not have a visit with Dr. Thorton and have never been a patient of his. However, he happened to be the doctor on-call when I needed help for my husband. It was a Sunday night (KC Chiefs were in the playoffs) and my husband was traveling for work. My husband accidentally placed his prescription medication in his checked luggage—which did not arrive at the destination airport my husband was flying to. Dr. Thorton was very helpful and understanding of our situation. He was not bothered or annoyed that he got called on a Sunday night, instead he was kind, respectful, and compassionate (even though my husband was not even his patient). This encounter alone speaks volumes of his bedside manner and quality of patient care. Thank you for your help, Dr. Thorton!
