“I had both knees replaced. I was fully informed of what to expect and got great instructions. Stayed overnight after both surgeries, went home, and followed instructions to a T. Never had to use walker, cane, etc. Recovery was even better than I expected. I walked 300 feet on the day of both surgeries. I highly recommend Dr. Thomason.”

“Dr. Thomason listened to me and talked to me. I didn't feel like he spoke over me or at me. I have some obstacles to overcome before surgery is a viable option for me, and I left feeling like there is a team in place, and we are working on a plan to overcome the obstacles.”

“Dr. Thomason was a great caring listener and thorough, yet to the point. I was relieved he took X-rays of my knees for 100% clarity. Then, with my permission, he injected me very smoothly with a cortisone shot (which I appreciated.) Lastly, he proceeded with specific healing and strengthening regime for me. Dr. Thomason is perfection at its finest!”

“I was praying all the reviews I've read would equal to our experience because we've had a very negative experience before someone elsewhere with raving reviews. My daughter has had 8 or 9 orthopedists evaluate her over four years, and she has got mistreated. Dr. Thomason was knowledgable and compassionate and he didn't make us feel stupid. I've done my due diligence in research to be able to advocate for her. Dr. Thomason was on point with everything and he was confident in approaches. He did refer us to his colleague since he doesn't focus on adolescents. I'm just thankful my daughter is getting appropriate and adequate help. I'm ready for her to get her quality of life back.”
