Patient Reviews
Oct 07, 2024
In March of this year (2024), I was diagnosed with Stage 1 pancreatic cancer and was referred to Dr. Thompson for surgery. From initial meeting to discharge and subsequent follow ups, Dr. Thompson was very thorough and compassionate. He took the time to explain things to me and even showed me diagrams and explaining the various outcomes. He was calm and reassuring and helped set me at ease about the process and aftercare. Furthermore, his staff has always been very caring and compassionate as well with phone calls and follow ups and inquiries on a personal level.
