Dr Thorndike is friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
Dr. Thorndike was well-prepared for visit in that she reviewed current and older visits, meds, history prior to appt. She was unhurried and very respectful in her manner and approach. She is an outstanding physician!
I was impressed by how much time she spent with me. Thank you!
Dr Thorndike sets the gold standard in patient care. Lucky to have her. Im grateful.
Dr. Thorndike had reviewed material about concussion before seeing me, so I felt confidence in her assessment. She also spent a lot of time with me to assess the possibility of risk, and told me what to do if symptoms arose. [redacted]
I thought Dr. Thorndike was very thorough and I enjoyed meeting her.
I appreciate the care that Dr Thorndike and her staff provide to my wife and me.
This was my first interaction with Dr. Thorndike. I liked her, and am looking forward to continuing our relationship
She was excellent in all ways. I was a new patient so she took the time to review my medical history, risk factors, screening protocols and upcoming tests, and gave me a thorough exam; she also ordered the appropriate blood work. She had a warm and empathetic affect and we were able to establish a good rapport. My expectations were fulfilled.
My first time seeing her. Listened well, assessed well and guided well too !
