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
Dr. Thornton and his staff are SO caring and they treat you like family, and in my case better than family. It is scary going in to get injections around my eyes and very painful. They don't rush the procedure and they do everythiShow moreng they can to get my spirits up and off of the pain and fear. Dr. Thornton is a Jewel and I highly recommend him for whatever you need.

No significant waiting time. Dr. Thornton do spent as much time as necessary to discuss options for treatment. I didn’t feel like he was rushing to get to another appointment.
As he removed places on my skin he explained what to look for and what kinds of things weren't an issue. Felt like he took good care of me.
