Dr. Thomas was the first ob/gyn to actually listen to me. She was my last hope. I had seen several doctors that simply brushed me off because of my age, but she took the time to listen to the issues going on and gave me options. I'm so happy I kept pushing for what I wanted. Her and her staff are phenomenal and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

I was able to have a successful VBAC with Dr. Thomas as my doctor. I was extremely nervous about being able to have a successful delivery after having a traumatizing c-section experience with my first. Dr. Thomas was rational and knowledgable when addressing my questions and concerns, while still being emotionally supportive and thoughtful. I felt very supported in having my preferences for the delivery honored. I am very, very grateful for my positive birth experience with her.

Dr. Thomas delivered our daughter in 2019 and was such a pleasure to work with. She has incredible bedside manner and helped explain everything to us in a way that helped us stay calm and relaxed (at least as calm and relaxed as you can be during labor)! She answered all of our questions, walked us through options, and when a decision needed to be made (and quickly), she was awesome at telling us what we needed to do and why. We can't thank Dr. Thomas enough and absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!
