Dr. Thomas was engaging, competent, and thorough. The woman at the front desk was welcoming and competent. The nursing assistant was engaging and competent. My overall experience could not have been better!

Dr. Thomas is a thorough, competent, professional, friendly physician, who made me feel comfortable discussing details of my health. Dr. Thomas actively involved me in planning for my own health care.

I told Dr. Thomas she had to promise me she would never leave!? As senior adults , my husband and I feel fortunate that Dr.Thomas is so invested in us and makes us feel as though we are her only patients - never rushing us or tire of our questions! We adore her!??

I can tell the doctor doesn't care. She just keeps brushing off my problems. I came in with shoulder pain and just went through a severe flare of autoimmune disease that no one knows what it is. Didn't discuss bloodwork, didn't address shoulder pain, there was no real plan or follow up.

Dr Thomas was very good about explaining my options and why she made her recommendations. Her patient interaction was excellent and she was clearly dedicated to providing the best outcome possible.

I just wanted to say that I was thankful that I had the opportunity to have a doctor such as Ms. Thomas. You can tell that she actually takes the extra time to give the best results that's catered to the specific person that's coming in, in this case, obviously, being me. I can tell that she does sincerely care about my, you know, recovery and that I stay consistent in it. And I can tell that she's very, you know, forthcoming with everything that she says and does. She lets me know everything that I need to improve on and everything that I'm not improving on and what I need to do to make myself better in this situation. She answers every and any questions that I have consistently without judgment. I feel comfortable coming to this place and doing this as hard as it was for me to do at first because of how warm and open she is towards us. And I'm very thankful for that.

I love the staff and my Doctor Rachel Thomas.. Ive had excellent Care
March 06, 2025
This was my first visit as we recently moved to the area. It took about 16 months to get an appointment. Obviously more doctor's would help. Although I understand how this works. My medical records were not there yet was why I answered the questions the way I did. Dr. Thomas was excellent. I really like her. She was training a medical student as well, and he seemed nice. The nurse who took my vitals was also excellent. I'm very happy with my visit, the care given and the check in, check out staff.

A great group of staff. From the front desk to exit. All are professional, courteous and kind

I'll be back!

Dr. Thomas is exceptionally skilled, both medically and emotionally. She immediately understood what the most important priorities of my care were and zeroed in on them. One could not have hoped for a better doctor to handle my issues.
January 30, 2025
Rachel is great and always listens and I don't have a problem at all with her. The only issue I have is that the doctor's offices don't communicate back and forth very well. The systems don't, they're not compatible. So it seems like there's always information that I have to tell each provider when I go to them. If there was an upgrade in the system and all places were compatible within the main general system, that would be a big help.

Very easy to talk to
