Patient Comments
The Dr checked how well I was healing and asked how I felt.
Dr. Thoder has come up with a surgery solution that will hopefully ease the pain in my hand and thumb joint.
I have been seeing this surgeon for well over a year and I have had injuries to both elbows and hands, I am complicated, and he has worked with me through all this, including surgery.
Excellent medical care and communication
Dr. J.J.Thoder is very attentive and gives you the answer to all your questions I have recommended him to all who need his type of service he's great and does an excellent job
