I have consulted Dr Thornton on several occasions regarding skin cancers and other types of skin concerns. He is always knowledgeable about my problem areas and has a solution for all of these concerns. Not only is he a capable phShow moreysician, but his staff are all highly skilled at their profession. I have seen some of his cosmetic work and know him to be a skilled surgeon. Anyone needed cosmetic surgery need look no further. Dr Lee Thornton is tops in his field.
Great visit. Long wait, but I was a last minute work-in. The receptionist is the absolute nicest person I have ever talked to. The nurse and doctor were very nice and so down to earth, and talk to patients in a non hurried manner.Show more Really listening and trying to make the best decisions for your issue.
