Dr. Thomas It's a pleasure to work with. He is very caring and clearly an expert in his field and gives me confidence in my care.
Very knowledgeable and caring. Took great pains to explain all the details of the disease and treatment. His explanations gave us the information we needed to make our decision without arguing or sounding condescending.
I loved the time you took to connect with me non-medically. What I'm going through is very scary and to create a brief moment of connection with a brilliant physician like you helps. The mix of technical knowledge and human connection was just right for me. Of course the reason we are there is medicine. This patient appreciates the mix of personal and medicine. Both take time and I'm hoping you'll be able continue that style throughout your career.
Very considerate in explaining everything in terms a lay person can relate to and learn more as we go.
