Many reviewers describe her as thorough, patient, and communicative, with several specifically praising timely MyChart responses and detailed instructions. Some feedback is critical, citing difficulty reaching her in urgent situations, occasional short visits or lack of follow-up calls, and a few patients feeling dismissed or wanting more concrete plans for complex, unresolved issues.

Excellent rheumatologist, skilled treatment for my condition. She cares about me not only as a patient, but as a friend.
Dr Thomas is friendly & accommodates my needs.
A good listener
I have a very complex situation going on. I really feel that maybe she doesnt have the experience to handle or know what is best. At least she doesnt give me confidence. Also, she is very hard to reach in an urgent situation. I can send a MyChart in and a nurse will call which I understand but when you are in a difficult arthritis flare with swollen everywhere it took several calls and a note from another doctor to hear from her personally. However, she is very compassionate and caring when you are in the office. I ask about side effects and she doesnt really make me feel like she knows. Just a little frustrated.
She is the very best for patient care and honesty with me. Thank you so much Dr. Thomas!!
Dr Thomas is the best - I always get good care from her.

Dr Thomas is very knowledgeable in her field. She is wonderful at explaining options, as well as very compassionate and thoughtful
Anything rated "good" was because whatever is happening with my symptoms has yet to be figured out.
My caregiver is concerned, clear, and always listens. I see her every three months, but she knows me and my case as if I came in every week. That's impressive!
Very good
I loved Dr. Thomas! I would definitely recommend her to others. It was the first time I've spent more than 10 minutes with a doctor and felt like she was willing to stay for as long as I needed to talk through things, instead of rush to another patient.
Along with the long wait time, once my rheumatologist came in the room she offered no apology for my wait. She gave me approximately 10 minutes of her time. I felt like my symptoms were discounted. She ordered blood work and told me she would call me with the results. I had the blood drawn and the results appeared in mychart shortly thereafter. She never called me to go over the results. Very disappointing.
Dr. Thomas is one of the most caring and competent doctors I've ever known. I'm so grateful she is my doctor. I've had some terrible experiences and a lot of mediocre experiences with doctors, but very few as excellent as her.
I adore Dr. Thomas. She always makes me feel comfortable and always provide excellent care.

Dr. Thomas is patient and caring and always willing to help with my disability issues and is quick to respond to MyChart messages, which I can't say for many other UofU doctors. She's always kind and spends a good amount of time allowing me to get her caught up on current health issues of concern.

Dr. Thomas is great
I feel I am in good hands at the U.
Dr. Thomas is great.
Dr. Thomas is always kind, thoughtful and informative. I feel she has my best interests at all times. She considers my needs and resources in making recommendations. I had an appointment coming up, but upon learning of another problem that developed she requested I come in sooner to make sure it was not impacting my RA
If there was an excellent button about recommending the doctor to others I would have pushed it.
Good
What's bothering me doesn't fit in her scope of expertise. I refuse to have the test for sjorgrens since it could numb my mouth for the rest of my life and so that goes undiagnosed- even though I probably have it. She did refer me to an orthopedic, so I guess we'll see if that helps! Julie Thomas is a doctor who listens and cases like mine are hard because I'm old and just falling to pieces.
Dr Thomas continues to be my favorite Dr I have even though it's really difficult to get an appt with her at times, she is always caring, patient and really knowledgeable about my condition. I am very grateful she's my Dr.

This was my first time seeing this MD, my prior MD retired. I know she did an adequate job, but have not yet established enough of a rapport with her to know how I feel about our future possible relationship

I appreciate the concern my doctor showed for my condition, the options she presented and and the input I was given looking towards a solution.
Great.
Dr. Thomas is likely the best doctor I have had the pleasure of working with.
They took blood took It took for ever to get the results ????
Dr. Thomas didn't really explain about what she thought was going on, however she did answer some of my questions and ended up doing blood work, a urine sample and has referred me to see a dermatologist there. But since doing those new tests no one has called to let me know what they mean.
Dr. Thomas is the most thorough, personable, and thoughtful provider I have met.
I've never had a more thoughtful, attentive, and thorough doctor. She is an example of patient care that I rarely experience. I'm so grateful to have found her.

Dr Thomas is a very caring and concerned doctor.
there was no discussion about how to proceed, she needs the test results to understand the issues better
Dr. Thomas has a gentle manner which makes me feel comfortable talking openly. She listens carefully and picks up on things I say that may impact my treatment or health holistically and looks into it. There's a inquisitiveness about her that conveys an interest in medicine beyond the act of treatment. It suggests a thoroughness which makes me feel I'm in good hands.
Dr. Thomas always includes me in making decisions about my care. I like that.
Good

Dr Thomas is awesome!! I appreciate her kindness and understanding about my unique situation living so far from everything... she is one of the best Dr's I've ever seen. Her knowledge and reassurance mean the world to me.
the doctor listened carefully to my concerns and discussed what she felt should bee the direction of my treatment. She made sure that the medication we were using was effective. She explained what her thoughts were as far as the moving forward. She told [NAME REMOVED] she would contract [NAME REMOVED] after reviewing the test results. I was able too access the test results and formulate any questions I had. As promised....I received a message from my doctor with detailed instructions and review off my test results.
Dr. Thomas has proven (and continues) to be one of the best providers I've ever worked (I'm an RN) with or been a patient of... I believe she cares. She puts my feelings and well-being first. I am both happy and blessed to be her patient.

The doctor always listens. Great Doctor. Has really helped me.
I know that times for all staffing at the hospital, is very concerning. however I wished that Dr. Thomas would have called me to go over some questions that I may have had.I know i should have as well.
it was very helpful to get my pneumonia vaccination in the exam room. it was such a time saver to be able to have my blood drawn in the rheumatoid clinic rather than needing to wait in the hospital's general lab.

Doctor Thomas very pleasant and very knowledgeable.

I think sometimes she thinks she says something but hasnt actually said it. I NEVER get the impression that she doesnt want to tell me or discuss with me... I just feel like if I dont ask EVERY question, she wont offer the complete picture sometimes.
Dr. Thomas is wonderful. She listens, explains, takes time to answer my questions. I have recommended her several times. Dr. Thomas is compassionate and caring.
