He keeps things simple! I love that! I had a spot that concerned me! He deadened, sliced it and sent it!
Great experience and my wait time was pretty short. I had paperwork to fill out but besides that everything was fine.
My son had an accident at school that resulted in a laceration on his face. Dr. Thornton’s office didn’t hesitate to get him in the same day to get him stitched up. He and his staff were kind, professional and efficient.
I truly appreciate how thorough and attentive Dr. Thornton was when I met with him this morning. He explained every aspect of the procedure and outcome in detail, which gave me confidence and a clear understanding of what to expect.
