Patient Reviews
May 29, 2023
Dr. Thomas performed trauma surgery on me after a serious tibial plateau fracture which led to 3 surgeries, and culminating with a total knee replacement. My leg functions perfectly now and is quite strong again. Dr. Thomas also performed a total knee replacement on my husband who is now enjoying life (especially golf) to the fullest. He is the kindest, calmest and most skilled surgeon I have ever met. He truly cares about every patient. I will be forever grateful to him for “putting me back together!”
