Dr Mike was the best doctor I've ever had. I saw him several times each year and he was…read morebrilliant... But he retired several years ago. I'm sorry you can't benefit from his knowledge and experience. I've gone through 4 doctors since he retired and I liked them all but none of them come even half way to being the doctor he was. But very, very few ever will and I doubt I will find one of them. I laughed reading a couple other comments, the negative ones. Had to wait to see the doctor? Terrible! Unless you are the earlier patient with a serious problem that he took the time to help. They didn't over book, they took more time than allotted when it was necessary. A doctor that can stay on schedule is what we have now: "what's your problem? Okay, here's a prescription. Next patient" And Dr Mike made it clear that he could not accept Medicare patients because Medicare doesn't pay for anything they consider unnecessary, which is anything beyond taking your vital signs. Those of us approaching Medicare age knew that and planned to pay out of pocket. He was worth it.

I never heard another complain about you in person nor online til now....I have spent some time waiting in your office but was entertained by myself, magazines, books and my ipod...knowing that I will recieve the same personal care as others. I was in his office just a couple of weeks ago, got a h. pylori test and am now on the road to recovery....he does listen to patients concerns, makes educated suggestions and tailors a program, procedure or medications that fit you, your lifestyle and includes your input. I have never, ever felt uncomfortable or ill-at-ease in his office or with his instruction. You truly are a blessing, Dr. Thornquist!!!!

Dr. Thornquist is an older doctor with many years of experience. My overall impression of his…read moreoffice is that he comes into the office late and doesn't consider the patient's time valuable. The longest I've waited is an hour just to be put into a patient room. His staff is very curteous, always apologetic for his tardiness. Dr. Thornquist isn't a "thorough" doctor. He tends to assume the problem and from what other patients have told me, he tends to prescribe the same thing to each patient he sees (steroids, narcotics, etc.). I would not recommend this doctor to anyone who has addiction issues. I also wouldn't recommend this doctor to anyone who doesn't have the patience to wait to see a doctor. Dr. Thornquist has a pleasant personality but I don't feel he has his patient's best interests at heart.

The Good: Dr. Summer Engler is an amazing rheumatologist who…read moretakes the time needed for each appointment, and she listens to her patients. Her MA, Benson, is an absolute gem! He's personable, friendly, and incredibly caring. Both of these staff members deserve the highest of accolades! The Not-So-Good: Their front desk staff won't prioritize according to need. I was forced to wait six or seven weeks for an initial eval. I realize schedules fill, and the world doesn't revolve around me; but that was ridiculous. The front desk staff's attitude was callous. I asked to be put on a waiting list for cancellations. This was refused. Hence, a 4-star review instead of 5. Final Note: There's an old saying... a really good doctor usually has pretty bad front office staff. Try to over look the front desk because Dr. Engler and Benson are worth it.
