My father, in his late 50s, had a double aneurism in is brain. He had one of the aneurisms blow while we were at work. This also caused blood clotting in his lateral ventricles which is a bad place for clotting to happen deep in the brain. Dr Jeffrey Thomas was able to coil both aneurisms and remove the clotting in the ventricles as well, in one operation. This is no easy task by far if you are familiar with this type of brain operation. My father is alive and because of Dr Thomas and his staff my father now has a chance to live and recover. Dr Thomas and his staff have done their part and the rest of the recovery is now up to my father and his strength and will to get better. I also thank Dr Thomas for his kind manners and his easy to talk to personality. He is very informant and also very accessible. If you or anyone you know are in his hands just be patient and know that the best of the best is doing there best to fix your loved one. read more

Dr Thomas is a lifesaver. After massive headaches an MRI was done and two aneurysms were found on the right side of my brain. I was scared, of course, but I knew I was in good hands. He is so caring and attentive and just puts your mind at ease. The surgery went well and I'm so grateful for this man. Thank you Dr Thomas! And also thank you for getting me to give up the dreaded cigarettes....it's going on 4 years! read more

Dr. Thomas decompressed two nerve roots (micro-surgery) that have caused me: pain, sciatica, nasty spasms - all progressively getting worse for over ten years. At almost one year since the surgery, my back has been pain free - meaning no more vicodin, percocet, oxycontin, 800 mg ibprofens, soma, and valium on a daily or regular basis. Lastly, he entertained my request to be awake and was only given a spinal. The man is very professional, a good listener. When I first met with him for my consult it lasted just about an hour...now when was the last time you had that type of attention from a doctor? Many thanks Dr. Thomas! read more

Was diagnosed with meningioma 2 weeks ago. Dr. Thomas made an exception to see me even though he was oncall because I was so symptomatic. Consulted with him, very professional, very confident. The kind of doctor you want on your side. He explained the process, and the facts. He made a lot of sense. I made an educated and well thought out decision to have it removed surgically. The surgery went flawlessly, 7 hours and I don't even feel like I've been through anything! My c-sections were more bothersome than this! Dr. Thomas came in and assured me and my husband right before surgery and he came by and visited after the surgery, even though he also sent an internist to attend to me. I am so lucky to have found such a great doctor to work with at a very traumatic time of my life! I can not possibly thank him enough for what he has done for me! I am blessed! read more

Dr Thomas is a kind- hearted, intelligent person. He takes time to answer every question I have. He told me to call him anytime if more questions come up and he'd get back to me within 24 hours. He he showed me my aneurysms on the computer screen and explained in detail how he would operate on them. He also explained the risks that go along with this type of surgery. My surgery was scheduled for January and I'm devastated that he moved his practice to Fremont. Hopefully, I'll still be able to have him perform the surgery. My nickname for him is Dr Obama. read more

Jeffrey E. Thomas, MD, FACS - Dr "Obama" - Neurologist Near Me - Fremont, California

Dr Thomas saved my life nearly 4 years ago after a massive brain hemorrhage. A highly skilled surgeon, an amazing bedside manner, and probably the suavest man I've ever met. I cannot recommend him enough. read more

As of this moment... It pains me to say that I am very dissapointed, frustrated, hurt.. My mom was diagnosed on accident of a brain aneurysm, according to Dr. Thomas the size of a plum that is on the left side of her brain that impacts memory/speech, 5+ years ago. He went into her brain about 5+ years ago and said he doesn't think it is safe to remove and it would be safest to just leave the anuerysm alone..which we thought was small, but by his calculations when he went in surgically, it was about "the size of a plum." Fast forward after the surgery, she was put into a induced coma for months due to complications, and then later had to be cut open again due to infection in her brain He said that the anuerysm would and should not affect her in any way and when it is her time to pass on, it would most likely not be from this and probably old age Fast forward to now, about a few months ago Her speech has become distorted, can not write or dial a phone, can not change stations on the t.v, does not even remember who her kids are or remembers taking her medication that she took 10 minutes prior. Back and forth to emergency with no answers and pushing BEGGING for a MRI to recheck the anuerysm to see if this was impacting her life...low and behold after months of denial by many Washington er doctors to give her a mri, they finally budged to give her one. Low and behold, it is indeed causing it all and it has grown. And some of the doctors there say they all trust Dr Thomas and say they can't even put a clip or coil on it to even AT LEAST stop it from growing, because the know nothing about how to deal with it.. So what do myself and my family do now? Like a broken record, he said recently and 5+ years ago, and from the research I've came across on him online all sounds so familiar... "if that were my family member, I would not touch it and leave it" Ok...then what else are we left to do? I'm watching my mother deteriorate slowly every day. Do you know what that's like Doctor? What would you do? Would you just watch your family, your wife, daughter, niece, sister , best friend go from being lively and functional to now not even knowing the day, forgets how to even read a sentence or know your children's name? I am now looking into someone else, unless you can give us a better idea... As of now, I wouldn't recommend him. He gave us hope years ago and now it's all gone. I am so dissapointed and hurt. No, the anuerysm isn't his fault... But I can't help but feel something when you told myself and my family years ago at that Washington hospital my mother would be fine in the future and the anuerysm would not cause her any harm, with a very "matter of fact" type of response. It shouldn't have done anything especially considering she did not have any symptoms at all before this was accidentally found. and probably wouldn't if it was left alone.. who honestly really knows that one right? Only God. I hope you take all this into consideration, and that yes, you may help a lot of families, but you have not helped mine, as of now. And to not even have somewhat of a solution, or a glimmer of hope, especially coming from these doctors, is the most dissapointing part of it all. read more

My husband had a rare type of rather large brain aneurysm. We met with four surgeons to discuss (two in SF including Dr. Thomas and, for other opinions, two at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix). We received different opinions about how the surgery/aneurysm repair should be accomplished. After meeting the second time with Dr. Thomas to discuss the other opinions, we scheduled the 10+ hour surgery with him, as what he was telling us made the most sense per our own "research" -not to mention "gut feeling". That was nearly four years ago and we still feel that the outcome could have been disastrous had we gone with another surgeon, based upon what Dr. Thomas actually found and what he had to do to repair it. We cannot recommend him enough!!!!!!! read more

Hi My aunt had aneurysm during November of 2013. While she was in an emergency room we were told to gather families as she could not make thru the night. However, Dr. Thomas performed emergency surgery after a positive reaction to the medications. He explained in details of each procedures, big five huddles, long recovery, and families needs to be patient with her recovery. He was gentle, never rushed on his visits, he would call after hours, early in the morning, late at nights. She made thru all big five steps and made an amazing recovery. She was able to recognized us, able to move part of her left side. However, she was discharged to a facility due to her requiring a hose to her neck for breathing. She smiled, she would close her eye, move her hand before admitting to long term care facility. She was admitted to the facility during middle of December and a week later she ended up in emergency due to lack of oxygen to her brain. The facility checked on her breathing three times a day and nobody noticed her not breathing due to the clog in her hose. She passed away in May due to no oxygen for 15 minutes. I feel she would have lived if not for that. But I would not hesitate to have Dr. Thomas perform a surgery on me. He has passion for his job and it shows in his manner with his patients and families. He is excellent at what he does. Thank you Dr.,Thomas. read more
