Dr. Thornton and his entire office is so nice and welcoming. Everyone I spoke to went out of their way to make me feel 100% comfortable. I would recommend this surgeon and his office 10 out of 10 times. If it’s your first time expShow moreloring plastic surgery and you’re a little nervous then this is absolutely the place for you. EVERYONE is so nice here from the ladies at the front desk to the doctor.
Staff were very helpful and friendly. Dr. Thornton was attentive and gave advice on future surgery. In addition offered help as needed over the coming weeks. I’m very glad that I consulted with Dr. Thornton.
