We were looking forward to our appointment after reading all of these reviews but once he walked in the door, he quickly presented himself to be annoyed, arrogant and rude. Basically spat out 3 choices I had which was over the counter med, and MRI as a stab in the dark or a 2nd opinion. (This was within about 2-3 mins of him entering the room). Said he has absolutely no idea what's causing my child's pain and said he couldn't even get a scope through her nose bc she has SO MUCH SNOT (repeatedly) and seemed annoyed we were even there when she had symptoms of a cold (she had clear nasal passage when appt was make weeks prior but had a slight nose cold a week before which she was recovering from). Rushed out of the room just as abrasively as he entered. Wow. My child was left wondering why he was so rude and whether she did anything wrong. Waste of time and money. read more

Dr. Thompson saved me from a sinus infection that lasted more than 5 months. Anolther ENT did surgery and many rounds of antibiotics before I went to Dr. Thompon. Dr. Thompson did a culture on my first visit and discovered an antibiotic resistent MRSA. He then prescribed the correct antibiotic for a long enough course of treatment to cure me. read more

My son went through a traumatic brain accident out of nowhere, and it was one of the scariest times of our lives. Dr. Thompson was on my son's medical team, and I can't express enough how grateful we are for him. He was incredibly supportive--not just to my son, but to our entire family. He took the time to explain what was happening in a way we could understand, which gave us comfort and reassurance when we needed it most. Dr. Thompson's care and dedication played a huge role in my son surviving this horrific event. We truly appreciate him--he is not only an outstanding doctor but also a compassionate and caring person. read more

I'm not one to typically write reviews but Dr. Thompson is one of the best doctors ive ever had. He is professional, does not beat around the bush but still has excellent bed side manor. He always gives his professional opinion and explains things in a way you can understand, He had me come in to see him multiple times after surgery to ensure I was "cured". His surgical team is awesome and I cannot recommend him enough! read more

It's very hard to sum this experience up in a few words. After being mis-diagnosed and seeking out another opinion from Chris Thompson, he correctly diagnosed by nasal cancer. He took action! Dr. Thompson and his surgical team were superb. He is highly knowledgeable, direct and specific, and a truly kind human being. For anything in the ENT world, I would likely recommend him. Thanks to his prompt action (and surgery), I am alive and well to write this review. read more

I called as a new patient and the receptionist was not helpful at all in trying to help me schedule an appt. It's really a shame when doctors start to lose credibility due to their office staff. I will be looking elsewhere. read more

Dr. Thompson was wonderful when I needed sinus surgery for an infection and removal of sinus polyps. The surgery was easier than I had feared. He is very gentle with the scope in office visits and is very caring. He recommended home care that has helped me to stay well. Highly recommended! read more

He's the BEST ENT I've ever had diagnose my problems. Very thorough and to the point. He discovered another medical problem I had because of his being thorough. read more

I was having difficulties breathing. My nose would often be congested and could only breathe through one side. Always turning over throughout the night to make my nose breathe better. Worked / still working with my allergist to address the allergies, dr Thompson recommend a septoplasy based on X-rays. It has been two weeks from the date of surgery and I am already breathing better than prior to surgery. Note I am still recovering with some scabs internally. I have been able to breathe through both nostrils which I haven't been able to in years and without decongestants/ nasal sprays. Dr Thompson was transparent throughout the process and I confidently refer him to anyone experiencing similar symptoms. A life changing experience read more

I finally got my sinus + turbinate reduction & septo surgery done this Tuesday, July 18th by Dr. Thompson. To say that I was extremely anxious for this procedure would be an understatement, but Dr. Thompson and the incredible staff at Mission Surgery Center made me feel so comfortable. I would not have wanted to do this procedure with any other doctor or at any other place. I've been a patient of Dr. Thompson for a few years now, and he has always been very personable and knowledgable. My entire family also sees Dr. Thompson and we fully trust in his care, which can take a lot to say. His medical assistant, Winnie, deserves a shoutout as well! She has replied to numerous voicemails of mine over these past few months...all within the next few hours... and she has been instrumental in helping me feel prepared and comfortable through this process. I'm very thankful to the nurses and staff at mission surgery center, Dr. Thompson, Winnie, and my anesthesiologist Dr. Hancock! read more

Doctor is professional and efficient. A quick examination revealed an inflammation and he prescribed the appropriate treatment.

I would certainly recommend Dr. Thompson. He spent the time with me that I needed, answered my questions, did not rush me, and helped me feel reassured. Thank you, doctor Thompson. read more

Dr. Thompson and is staff are the best. So happy to have found him to help take care of my nasal issues.

I have been a patient of Dr. Thompson for a few years for sinus / respiratory issues. The outcome is always good. He and his staff are welcoming and professional. He has various equipment, including a CT scan, right there in the office which gets you to a fast, accurate diagnosis. He listens carefully and is patient in understanding your situation. Every time I come here I end up better. read more

Great Doctor- Made great suggestions for my feet. I highly recommend him!

Dr Thompson is an excellent surgeon. I had sinus surgery Feb, 25, 2020 and I'm now post op 3 months. I can finally breathe. My airways are open and I am free of sinus infections and hav had a huge reduction in snoring which has led to a better nights sleep. His office staff is kind, thoughtful and diligent with insurance followup. I would highly recommend Dr. Thompson and Head and Neck Associates as your ENT doctor. Sincerely, Rebecca Paris read more

Good Doctor. Honest Helpful and seems Like he likes his Job and People

Very professional and to the point! Staff was also very helpful. He took the time to explain the situation to me while reviewing the CT scan and put my mind at ease. read more

Can't say enough about Dr. Thompson...I had a complication from another physician....he took me on no questions asked and saved the day.

Dr. C.F.Thompson is the most incredible doctor I've ever met. He has helped me as best he can and even referred me for a second opinion after a great care experience. He also helped my wife when other docs dismissed her issues. Turns out the other docs were way off and Dr. Thompson came to the rescue. The difference is he really listens to the issues, he thoroughly investigates and critically diagnoses with time and expertise you could really only dream of or see in the movies. He really shows some genuine care for his practice that is often rushed out the door elsewhere. He really sets the bar for my expectations of a great doctor. read more

Dr. Thompson is a personable, I liked the time he took to access my problem. I found him, honest and humble. He was interested in helping me. He gave me options and recommendations. The office is clean and organized. The staff are polite and helpful. Overall experience was very good. I recommend Dr. Thompson. read more

When I go diving I 90% of the time get an infection or plugged ears for 6 weeks. Dr. Thompson was able to get my ears cleaned and gave me medication to take prior to diving. So far so good. read more

Today 4/25/2022 I went in for another follow-up visit with Dr. Christopher Thompson. Once again I had to have my nose cauterized. Because it was such a small area I opted not to have the lidocaine. Dr. Thompson made a slightly painful procedure very comfortable for me. He was so gentle caring and kind. He had A very calming demeanor and excellent bedside manners. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs to see an ENT. read more

Dr. Thompson is a phenomenal doctor! I dealt with recurring sinus infections for years. Prior to seeing Dr. Thompson, I saw two other ENTs and countless other PCPs. None of them were able to address my issues successfully. My condition worsened to the extent that I needed surgery. I booked a surgery with another ENT, but wasn't totally comfortable with them. I went to Dr. Thompson's office for a second opinion and booked the surgery with him within a half hour! He was very thorough in explaining what was going on, honest about the unknowns and difficulties that come with surgery, and patiently answered all of my questions. Not to mention all the staff members at the HNA are so kind and helpful (a special shout out to Winnie)! I ended up having two surgeries done by him (as do many patients with complicated cases). It's almost been a year since my first surgery and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. My breathing has improved immensely and I haven't had an infection since my second surgery. If you are having sinus issues, I highly recommend meeting Dr. Thomas to discuss them. I didn't know how much I was missing out on dealing with sinus issues all the time, the quality of my life has improved drastically! read more

Went to Dr Thompson after being involved in auto accident (pre-Covid). Told him about the accident, having difficulty breathing out of one side of my nose and still very sore. Doc then proceeds to jam one instrument after another into my nose, none too gently. Not fun! Then says nose is deviated and needs surgery, that he cannot perform, because it is a difficult surgery and if not done properly, nose could be permanently damaged. He wants to recommend another ENT Doc. Unbelievable! Would not recommend this guy to anyone, including a dog. read more

I have had ear issues as an adult for a long time so I've had several ENT physicians that I've dealt with. Upon moving to south OC I've searched for the perfect doctor and I've found him. Dr. Thompson has a great personality, excellent knowledge of current methodologies, and in spite of having no ear issues himself completely understands the suffering those of us with problems have. I am a "lifetime tuber" as he refers to me (lol) which means I have to keep ear tubes in or I suffer due to eustachean tube dysfunction. When he replaces my tubes they stay in for years which is very helpful. I cannot recommend him enough. read more

Dr. Thompson made the whole process of getting a nose surgery less daunting and easy. I have needed to fix my septum, turbinates, and sinuses for my entire life but put it on hold due to finances. From my first visit to being over two weeks post op has been nothing but a pleasure. He is kind, a terrific surgeon (I have had no side effects post op), and takes time to answer all questions and concerns you have. His assistant Winnie is really great too. The only reason I am not giving Dr. Thompson 5 stars is because I have had a couple of appointments post op where it has taken me 30 minutes past my appointment time to see him. Mind you, he's a very busy doctor and for good reason. It could be that other patients are preoccupying his time. Needless to say, when he does see you he takes his time. read more

Still horrible and their "recovery" of this review was a lame attempt. Thanks for not addressing my health issue or sticking your neck out to try to uncover what is going on. 6 months later and still have issues. If your issues is black and white, this doc is your guy. read more

Dr. Thompson is a fantastic doctor. I went to him because he is my wife's doctor and she had a wonderful experience with him. After seeing several other doctors with whom she had poor results.

Don't hesitate to get an appointment to see Dr. Thompson; you'll be happy you did. read more

He was very good and addressed all of my three health issues. Very satisfied and thankful he is taking care of me!

Dr. Thompson has been amazing with both my boys. He is really good with children and answers all my questions and concerns. What I really was surprised about and liked was that I brought my son in with an ear infection and he followed up with my personally to see how he was doing the next week. He really cares about his patients! read more

I went to see Dr Thompson for removal of a mucocele. He was on time for both of my appointments. He was kind, listened and truly cared about why I came to see him.

I would recommend him to anyone who needs an ENT in the future. read more

I am consistently impressed with Dr. Thompson. First of all his staff is exceptional. From his nurse Winnie to the front office Tracy and Lupe, they make you feel truly like a valued patient.

I thought he was explained everything very concise and I maybe nervous but I have confidence that my surgery will work out. I just wish he had used the numbing spray up my nose before he went exploring and next time I am in his office I will ask him why he didn't. read more

Dr. Thompson reviewed my condition with me, asked questions, and then referred me to another ENT in their practice based on my symptoms. He followed up quickly with the referral and test based on our discussion. Before finishing, he emphasized that I should call his office later if I had any questions and provided me with his assistant's direct number. A brief, but effective, first visit. read more
