I was referred to and recommended to Dr. James Thompson by my specialist when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Bladder Cancer needing major surgery.
From the moment my wife and I were greeted by Dr. Thompson and ushered by him into his room, we felt cared for. Dr. Thompson is an outstanding doctor and surgeon of exceptional skills and knowledge in his chosen field.
He was attentive, focused, compassionate, patient and generous with his time in listening to us and in answering all our questions, fears and concerns.
Dr. Thompson explained everything from the beginning including pictures - from the diagnosis itself, what it means, why the surgery was needed, if there were any options within the surgery itself taking my diagnosis into account, what was involved in each option and (like any surgery) the risks that are involved as well as the pre and post-operative care, outcomes and recovery.
His exceptional knowledge and passion and his compassion to do and want the best outcome for me, was genuine and evident for the both of us to see.
His confidence, positivity and the level calmness in his voice, gave me and my wife the strength and hope that we both needed at such a difficult and uncertain time.
As we left his room, Dr. Thompson turned to me and said, "Don't worry, we'll look after you". And we just knew that we were in the best of hands.
Dr. James Thompson is an outstanding doctor and surgeon of exceptional knowledge and skills, including robotic surgery. He is passionate, dedicated and devoted to always learning, doing his best for his patients and in his compassion he strives to maintain this excellence to the benefit of his patients and improving their lives. He sees past 'the patient' and looks into the face of the human being and the life in front of him and who they are- someone that is loved. He cares for not just his patient but for the person as a whole being.
Dr. Thompson has achieved and strives to maintain an excellence in his chosen field obtained only by the very few, driven by always doing his very best for each and every patient that is lucky enough to be looked after by him.
My surgery by Dr. Thompson and his team was a success, my post-operative care wonderful and my recovery after such major surgery is excellent. A testament to Dr. Thompson's skills. Dr. Thompson saved my life and that of my family. He has given me the chance to live and to see the joys that are yet to come.
We will always owe Dr. Thompson the biggest debt of gratitude that words cannot ever express. I trusted him with my life then and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Dr. James Thompson to anyone who finds themselves in need of a doctor and surgeon requiring his skills. He is indeed the best.
Thank you, Dr. Thompson for everything you have done for me and for my family. We will be grateful to you always more than words can say.
Elias Tsimos and family.
