I was referred to Dr. Thompson by a friend. I visit Courtland at least once a year and I got an appointment and the three top front teeth need to be filled and resurfaced. In NY the dentist only want to sock you with Porcelain Veneers which costs thousands of dollars. I explained my plight with the doctor and he said that he would remedy my teeth. Well...he did an excellent job! I'm not embarrassed too smile anymore. I will be getting additional treatment there for sure. read more

Ever nice and comfortable, not to Judy, very help full and educated me about my dry mouth, plus suggested a nice tooth brush.

Dr. Thompson is the nicest dentist I have ever met, & as a military brat I have met a few to say the least! I hate to say this, because it sounds so cheesy like a recommendation you'd read in a 3rd rate broke down hotel, BUT - Dr Thompson really is a hidden gem! Glad he is here, glad we found him, & hope he never goes anywhere! I lived in a neighboring city (Suffolk, Va.) for nearly 13 years, then bought a house out here in Southampton County, Va., and I never heard of him - we are very thankful to our dental insurance folks right now (he happens to be in network for us). There has always been a less than 10 minute wait, but we do show up about 10minutes early so... Most importantly he listens, and will answer all your questions. He is very knowledgeable, even about surgical issues (he refers out for major surgeries). It's really nice too that he sounds like he is having a conversation with you rather than a speech, or something he has had to say a million times before, & is now repeating it to you. I am sure you have met the types! I have a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia which is a nerve issue that involves the nerves in the top & bottom jaw (along with other areas of the face). He not only is familiar with the condition (it is treated by a Neurologist, not a dentist), but is very understanding, & treats me with dignity every time I see him. Something a lot of professionals seem unable to do these days. The only negatives I could ever say is - the decor is a little dated ( I have found that to be a common trait of medical professionals who do not fleece you for every dime), and the parking lot is tiny - thankfully there aren't 10 other people waiting to be seen, so there's always a space (knock on wood!). It's just a tight squeeze! The spouse parks in one of the neighboring parking lots; However I don't like too because I don't know what the rules are for that. I really can't say enough good stuff about Dr Thompson! Definitely because he is timely, knows his stuff, has a great bedside manner, is affordable, apparently the 2nd generation to hang his sign there, & is hands down the nicest dentist we have ever met he more than earns 5+ stars from this family!! read more

I don't know how to really explain this bizarre experience. The appointment was for my 19 yr old son. He had some tooth pain and I made an appointment to get this checked I also indicated on my information sheet that I would like to talk about braces. The front of the office was ok not extremely nice but they were nothing like the Dentist and his assistant. When my son was called back I waited out front. It may have been 2 mins at the most and the assistant called me back there. She never introduced herself and didn't even tell me why I needed to go back. I assumed my son wanted me. I sat in a chair. No introduction from the dentist. He sat with his back to me most of the time. I was asked two questions. Do you want to extract your sons tooth or have a root canal. Huh? Literally there are was no explanation nothing. The dentist just sat there and waited for my answer. In my sheet that I had to fill out before we saw the dentist I indicated we would like to also talk about braces. So I asked "if you are to take the tooth out would that have an effect on him if he were to get braces". The dentist's answer "yes". And nothing more. That also never looked at any other teeth I understand I made the appointment for that tooth but if that one was bad I thought they would at least look at the other ones. We felt extremely rushed and as if we were a bother to them. It was a very disappointing experience. I was a dental assistant years ago and I could never imagine the dentist I worked for act like this group did. The girl at the front desk didn't have any recommendations for a place to get a root canal? Why? I found that strange also. We went to a different dentist and had an amazing visit they immediately took X-rays of all his teeth and were very thorough and made us feel very welcomed. This office needs to take some lessons in this. read more
