I am so grateful to Dr. Thornton and his entire staff, and in-office colleagues, for having went above and beyond, in order to make my experience with outpatient surgery at their surgery center such a relieved success! I must admiShow moret, I was quite nervous about the procedure itself, as I (admittedly) find any time of surgery to be mentally stressful. However, Dr. Thornton and his entire office made me feel so welcomed and comfortable, that I couldn’t even imagine trusting anyone else to perform the type of sensitive surgery I had just earlier this same morning! Meridian and Lauderdale County are blessed to have such professional, experienced, and truly caring staff as that of Meridian Plastic Surgery.
My every experience with MPS is extraordinary from the moment I walk in the door. Dr Thornton and his entire staff make me feel like “family”! I started there about 10 years ago following breast cancer putting Humpty Dumpty back Show moretogether again. I now go every year for Dr Thornton to check me for skin cancer. He’s found some skin cancers thru the years that I’m glad to have gone from my life. Though I realize nobody likes having to go to the doctor, I will say I don’t mind going there because I get to see “my family”.
