Testimonials

"The tower was very clean. All of the personnel were helpful and friendly. My consult with Dr. Thompkins was on time, very professional, and he was very knowledgeable about my problem. He explained the procedure to me and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Thompkins."


Brenda P.

"I have had two hip replacements and one surgery with Dr. Cates. He is the best! I appreciate the time and seems like extra attention he gives me. He has earned my heartfelt trust over the many years he’s had to deal with my not so text book surgeries. Did I mention he has lots of patience too?"


Mary B.

"My father had knee surgery and Dr. Parson was his surgeon. We are very pleased with Dr. Parson. He had a great sense of humor, which helped to make us feel more comfortable. He was very thorough and allowed us to ask as many questions as needed."
