                  Dr. Thomas has always been incredibly caring and empathetic when it comes to my daughters treatment. Even when we were getting not great news prior to her open heart surgery, he would provide the information in a compassionate way as to not cause any stress and would explain it in a way that was easy for someone not in the healthcare field to understand. I have always felt that Dr. Thomas genuinely cares about his patients and he strives to provide them with the absolute best care possible. He is an exceptional doctor and I feel very fortunate to have him as my daughters cardiologist!

It made a lot of sense. And then really gave us a lot of reassurance that there was nothing to be concerned about and that our child was going to be OK. And I thought he did a really good job.
