Patient Reviews
Feb 03, 2024
Dr. Thornton has performed 2 major basal skin cancer restorations on me; first was ear/head interface requiring a quarter sized skin graft. Looks perfect, worked fast. Second was a slightly larger size restoration at the lower rear cheek but was able to reform the area with suturing only. two days later wound a long fine line; no discomfort at all. Truly has gifted hands, a great demeanor, and explains fully what he's doing. His assistant is extremely professional, reassuring, and clearly anticipates Dr. Thornton's every needs.
