Patient Reviews
Sep 01, 2024
If you have Dr Thompson for your surgeon, you can rest assured you are in the best possible hands. When I was having very bad lung problems for having a collapsed lung for over a year, Dr Thompson performed the needed surgery on my lungs, to remove the scar tissues, and insert tubes to drain my lungs. During my stay in the hospital while my lungs were draining, he insured I was monitored closely, and took additional measures to insure they were being drained properly. After about a month, I was able to get the tubes removed, and continue on my recovery. It took some time for me to my lungs to continue their healing process, but within a couple of years, my lung was working as well as the other, and I could again take full breaths, and felt like my body is getting the oxygen that it needs. I learned that this was a very complex surgical procedure, but Dr Thompson executed it perfectly, and my restored lung, and health, are a testament to his expertise.
