During my yesterday's visit, I was well received by the staff at the front desk.
The remaining information that was not completed during my on line scheduling, was done by me in the office in a matter of 3 minutes.
Immediately I was brought into the waiting room, met with a consulting staff, who confirmed the reason for my visit and given a short briefing about what I should expect during my meeting with the physician.

Listened and paid great attention to my concerns about my knee issues, discribed whats best that can be done to get me back to normal, asked if I had any concerns or questions and then carried out the procedure as previously discribed. I was completly satisfied with my visit, thanks to Barry Thompson and his staff.

PA Barry was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING with identifying and analyzing my pain using digitalization. He showed me how and why I was experiencing such intense pain and also more ways/services which can be used to reduce and potentially relieve the pain through various methods.

I'm so grateful I found Dr. Barry Thompson, PA-C .After spraining my ankle, I was worried about my recovery and whether I'd be able to run again. Dr. Barry Thompson, PA-C took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and provided a clear diagnosis that put my mind at ease.
