Patient Reviews
Oct 01, 2025
Dr. Duke Thomas was very good at diagnosing and then explaining it in plain language. He told me why I was having the pain (the issue with my spine) and what my options were in resolving it. Dr Thomas explained the surgery that he would perform. After talking with him, I left confident in feeling that I made the right decision to have the surgery . Looking forward to a pain free future.
