I found Dr. Thornton to be very caring. He is easy to talk to. He listened to my every concern and answered all my questions. His staff is top notch. You feel welcomed from the moment you walk through the door of his office. I haShow moreve had nightmare doctor appointments in the past. I am TERRIFIED to meet new Doctors. It didn't take me long to realize I had found a good one in Dr. Thornton
My experience could not have been better. I appreciated so many things about this practice. Everyone is professional and make you feel welcomed. Dr. Thornton is truly a master at making you look the best you can without making yoShow moreu look fake. I love the results of my facelift
