Bruce Thomas, M.D., is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, and Orthopedic Clinical Attending for the University of Utah. Dr. Thomas specializes in diagnosis and treatment of shoulder, knee and sports injuries including instability, rotator cuff tears, and knee pain.

Dr. Thomas is a graduate of Brigham Young University and the Medical College of Georgia. He completed his internship and orthopedic training at the Naval Medical Center, San Diego where he was chief resident and was retained as teaching staff at the completion of his residency. He spent 3 years assigned to the Navy Seals and has experience and particular interest in returning patients of all athletic levels to their optimal performance. Dr. Thomas is the current North American Medical Director for the Australian Winter Olympic Institute, which utilizes Utah as a major training hub.

Surgery is one treatment that can help patients, but not all patients need surgery, and not all patients need the same surgery. Treatment decisions should be a collaborative effort between the patient and the surgeon after a discussion of the diagnosis, options for treatment, benefits of treatment and risks of treatment alternatives.

In his free time Dr. Thomas is a Utah out door enthusiast, skier, hiker and avid cyclist.

Dr Thomas is a very bright Dr. My only suggestion is to treat patients like they are new to breaking something. I have no idea how to treat my injury when I am home. What i can & can't do. How to maintain my complex health & when I can & can't do as far daily activities, exercise, and to avoid falls of this nature again

Aug 31, 2025

I felt like a number. Dr didn't take time to ask how my pain levels were or discuss pain management options. He literally spent three minutes with me and acted like he had a million more important things to do. My care at the U has always been excellent, I'm very disappointed.

FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Dr. Thomas was awesome! Dr. Thomas was so detailed about an issue I had been having for 2 years and prior to Dr. Thomas hadn't been offered anything other than cortizone which was a temporary fix. I finally asked for an MRI and was told I didn't need surgery although my rotator cuff was torn and my bicep. I asked if I could see another doctor. That is when Dr. Thomas entered the picture. He explained that the issue would only get worse and although I am 62, I am still very active but was limited by the tear in my rotator cuff. He explained that I was probably at a good point to get the surgery with good health to recover well. I never had excruciating pain, just some aching which seemed to subside very quickly. I expected to have a much harder time with the recovery based on talking with others. I was happily surprised that everything went so smooth and felt fairly back to normal at about 6 weeks, then with great PT at 9 weeks I have almost full rang

Also, I caught a glimpse of his sense of humor (which further personalized my appt.).

I was told to be there at 7:15 for a 7:30. They were a full hour late. Granted it had snowed, but not acceptable. Second, since they were behind, the physician was rushed. He didn't listen to me and was I feel misdiagnosed me. He seemed happy to do surgery if I was game but when I said no and tried to help him understand what was going on with my injury, he didn't seem to really listen. The MA was helpful, but I won't be back to this clinic.

Dr. Thomas is courteous and friendly. My frustration is that he was very rushed, and did not take his time with me. I had to "bring him back" to the conversation about my condition more than once, and ask him to explain the results of the MRI again, so that I was sure I understood. He acted like he couldn't wait to get out the door.

Dr. Thomas had the level of confidence in treating my condition that I was looking for. After seeing 3 precious orthopedics, I felt positive he understood my condition and was more than capable of treating me. He thoroughly explained what he thought was the best option for my care but gave me all of my options and did not pressure me. The care he and his staff showed me on surgery day was exceptional and I would recommend him and the UofU to anyone who is searching for quality care.

Since I'm 75 years old he knows I get a little nervous if I think I overdid a certain exercise and reassures me that everything is fine. I appreciate his gentleness in working on my shoulders, back and arm. He challenged me to stop taking NSAIDs which I've done and headaches have subsided. Only use Tylenol. He's an asset to the University of Utah Orthopedic Dept. Also I like Dr. Monson and his assistant Tyson. They are an asset as well. Would not want anyone else. They've all helped me so much over the last few years.

Dr. Thomas is an excellent and professional physician. He answered all my questions and explained the next steps in my care. He is a fine surgeon and did a great job. In all my surgical history this experience was more than I could have imagined. It's been a miracle !! Hardly any pain and I am having great success with physical therapy. Dr. Thomas provided me with pictures taken during the procedure and explained each step. It was interesting and enlightening. I told all my family and friends about him and my physical therapy with Lee Skinner. He also explained the pictures and gives me exercise print-outs at every visit. I/we love the Farmington Health Clinic. They have improved our lives so much and is only a mile or so from our home.

My sister needs an orthopedic surgeon and I recommend Dr. THOMAS. However, when she called the main number, she was told Dr. Thomas didn't deal with fractures. I asked Dr. Thomas about this and he said that was untrue. My comment is to educate your representatives. If they're not sure what service is provided, send them directly to the orthopedic department.My sister is going with another doctor now and I feel upset that she could've seen Dr. Thomas, who in my opinion is the BEST!!! But unfortunately she was misinformed and in a sense turned away. :(
