Dr. Thomas is a really wonderful doctor He seems to really love children and cares about them beyond just urology problems. Amount of time spent got a four instead of five just because we really didn't have anything to discuss, which isn't his fault. Lol

Dr Thomas is one of the most skilled, compassionate, humble, knowledgeable, advocate and essy to work with doctors at the hospital. He is an absolute asset to the hospital and to patients and families. The hospital would be missing a piece of it without his presence. He brings not only his knowledge but a joy to patients that can't be described in words because he takes time to connect with them and he brings a brightness to the entire visit. When you see him in the hospital, his brightness shines to everyone, staff and families and patients. We are so incredibly lucky to have him as my son's doctor.
