Patient reviews for Dr. Robert G. Thompson
Robert is extremely knowledgeable, and started up right away with a range of tests for heart and general health. I like to get a lot of information right away, which is exactly what I got: I described many issues I had been experiencing, and Robert was able to explain all of them, with reference to my tests for the blood pressure related issues I went to check up for. Had to wait a bit to see him, once initial tests were done, but not an important complaint given the above.
Definitely an old school doctor. Looks as though none of the equipment has been updated since the 60s. Then was surprised to receive a large bill for my routine physical. Granted, I signed a document saying it's ok if my insurance didn't cover everything, I was still quite surprised at some of the charges for a healthy physical. I will not be returning to this doctor and will instead find someone a bit more modern who will give actual medical advice instead of eat a bowl of bran flakes and do 20 sit ups.
Fantastic doctor, very thorough on the annual exam.
Always a pleasant experience- from a super short wait time (under 5 minutes) to pleasant front desk folks and the nurses are fabulous...And Dr. Thompson is top notch!
I really value doctors that take time to speak with you before putting you on a table. Dr. Thompson has a great staff and office, I didn't wait too long after arriving for my appoint, and he actually privided a consultation before the exam so that we could review my medical history and concern. This is old school professionalism.
Always willing to spend time with patients and never rushes in and rushes out. He is there for the patient.
Very professional and enjoyable experience. From the front desk to Dr. Thompson the office visit went off without a hitch. Having worked for and with physicians for the past 30 years, I found my visit with Dr. Thompson and his office staff to be exemplary.
Perhaps one of the finest doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting/having as PCP... Extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions, made time to discuss a number of things and didn't feel rushed by any means. I have never waited longer than 10-15 mins before being seen and more often than not, it is like 5 mins
Worst experience, ever. I am in shock as to how unprofessional this experience was. We were seen fairly quickly, but after explaining the symptoms experiencing (which my wife and i are very concerned about), not many questions were asked by dr, followed by a very brief exam, and then dismissed and pushed out the door with no follow up. It’s very disheartening when you feel like and express that you feel like something is wrong with you to only be disregarded because you are a “healthy 38 year old” and couldn’t possibly have something serious wrong or cancer. I’m not one to complain or go to the dr, but something is wrong with me. It was as if he didn’t care or had an afternoon T time... he made me and my wife feel hopeless when we were so hopeful to see him.
Very thorough in listening to all my concerns and very clear in communicating a plan. The support staff and associates are very helpful.
He is the best. Thorough, knowledgeable, and comprehensive.
Best physical I have ever done in my whole life. 5 Star definitely!!!
Dr. Thompson and his team are amazing. This was the most comprehensive physical I have ever had. It is so cool that you get your bloodwork results back before your visit is over. I highly recommend him and his team!
Great listener and clinician. Highest regards.
I’ve seen Doc Thompson for three years now and am completely and utterly satisfied. Find a good doctor who has genuine concern for your wellbeing, listens to your concerns and goals, and doesn’t rush you in and out of appointments can be difficult to find, and I’ve found all of those in Doc Thompson. Not only that but the office gals are always wonderful, as well as the nurse. I always feel welcomed and accommodated!
He takes the time to review my information and make appropriate recommendations.
I've been a patient for many years. Dr. Thompson and his staff are caring, knowledgeable, and efficient.
I've seen Dr. Thompson for several years altogether, and I think he and the office staff are fantastic. They're friendly, efficient, competent, and professional. Dr. Thompson listens and asks questions without judgement. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone and everyone.
Dr. Thompson is terrific. I'd highly recommend him!
Dr Robert G. Thompson immediately diagnosed & prescribed me medicine based on the first few things that I said. It seemed that he was very solutions driven and not very willing to dive into the problem. For that reason I cannot recommend him to anyone. When I'm going to a doctor I want him to dive deep into the problem with me and not latch onto the first thing he hears that matches some pattern.
My first choice in doctors, who wants to wait in a gnarly waiting room when you can come here and wait in their super nice waiting room that doesn't make me feel like I'm in a petri dish.
Friendly, approachable doctor with a lot of empathy. A balanced prescription of drugs and lifestyle changes to kickstart a wholesome recovery which I appreciate.
Great visit. Been seeing Dr Thompson for about 28 years. He has been a wonderful doctor. I recommend him very highly.
I plan to complete my next annual medical with Dr. Thompson. Informative session and never felt rushed. Staff were very professional.
I have been seeing Dr. Thompson for 14 years. He listens well and has amazing diagnostic skills. I like that he has a small office and the team has been with him for sometime. He takes the time to listen, evaluate, ask questions and then give his recommendations. As a GP, I can't recommend him enough.
Awesome guy. I felt right at home.
Very professional and helpful. This is my doc!
Great focus on preventative care
Sure appreciate Dr. Thompson and the entire team there!
Dr. Thompson was excellent. I made an appointment for a yearly physical and it was the most thorough one I've ever had. He did not rush at all and made sure he covered everything and I had no more questions. Highly recommend!
Dr. Thompson was very easy to discuss my health history with and clearly provided the reasons and next steps to be taken. He provided an interim test, and practitioner, that I should complete before my next visit to his office. He clearly identified the time that these should occur.
Quick and efficient. Most thorough physical I've ever had. Really appreciated going over the blood work just 20 minutes after it being drawn. Thank you Dr. Thompson.
Dr Thompson is the best doctor that I've ever had. Very professional and thorough. I highly recommend him to all of my friends and family.
I was disappointed in his response to my medical concerns, he did not take me seriously and did not offer any insight. It was pointless and somewhat frustrating. Would not recommend.
He gives a more thorough physical than I've ever got from another doctor. .
A doctor that practices what he preaches... He's in good physical shape! A very good listener, he never rushes me through my appointment. He is more knowledgeable about my condition than I am and shows genuine care and compassion toward me even though he must have a hundred patients with the exact same symptoms. I have no doubts that other patients feel the same way about him.
Very friendly and professional staff. Office is nicely appointed and the doctor has a good bedside manner and knowledge in his field.
Wonderful Doctor and Staff!!!!!!
I have been a patient of Dr. Thompson's for about 15 years, he is the best. I am 53 and he is by far the best physician I have ever seen in my life. He is a very knowledgeable M.D. who takes the time to listen and also to explain things. Highly recommended!
great bedside manner, and he's very patient
Dr. Thompson was very professional and provided me with an adequate consultation, as per my exact request, checking on everything that I felt needed to be checked on for my peace of mind.
Dr. Thompson is the best I've had in my 70+ years. You'll not do better.
Excellent service, really cared about making sure I was satisfied and committed to addressing an issue I had given up on figuring out with previous doctors.
Amazing in every way!
Excellent physician, good bedside manner, very knowledgeable, thorough and complete evaluation. Highly recommend him.
Great Doc and staff! Highly recommend!
I was looking for a doctor close to work and home and Dr Thompson had great reviews and he lived up to the high marks. Very knowledgeable and answered my questions. His office staff is very welcoming and friendly as well. I will be recommending him to others that I work with.
Very impressed. This was my first visit. Dr. Thompson was friendly and professional in asking our initial questions. I was very impressed.
