Patient Reviews
May 22, 2024
When I saw Dr. Tompkins due to a car accident, he did not pressure me into having surgery. I had no broken bones but some pain from issues with vertebrae in my neck. Dr. Tompkins told me that I would know when it was time for surgery by the pain level. He was exactly right. I appreciate his bedside manner and care.
