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
