Patient Comments
Doctor and nurses were great
Dr. Thoder is the rare doctor who has a good "patient-side" manner: he listens well, answers questions with care and clarity, and helps his patients choose the best options available.
I left feeling very content with the visit he had a wonderful personality and was very informative.
Dr Thoder has been my doctor for over 22 years. I would have no other doctor until he retired. Excellent work
I'm thankful for my doctor team
