Steven C. Thomas, MD

Dr Thomas is the worst dr I have ever gone to. I actually give him no stars. My right knee started hurting so on a referral I went to Thomas Had a MRI after that I went in for the diagnosis. He told me it was a small tear in the meniscus and a very easy fix and I would be back to work in 2 or 3 days, I was out for 2 weeks. After surgery he told me it was so much worse then he said and he couldn’t get it all. My knee hurts so bad two years later and because of the pain some nights I’m not able to sleep. All three appts I had with his office I waited at least 3hours and when he appeared in the office he literally had one hand on the door knob, he couldn’t wait to get to his next victim. It is very obvious that making $$$$ is the ultimate goal. I will now need to have another surgery done by a actual surgeon. Guess I just donated to Thomas’s practice. GO TO ANOTHER DR!!!

Dr. Thomas came highly recommended. My husband was just about a year out of total knee replacement, and was not healing. He truly needed help. Dr. Thomas on the first visit knew he could not help him, but advised my husband to stop his exercising and if that don’t help, come back inn 30days, and the wonderful DR. THOMAS would do orthoscopic surgery on him to see what the trouble is. After all, this is HIS SPECIALY. 30 precious work days later, my husband went back after a 2 hour office WAIT, he came in said «I cannot help you, you need to go to a knee replacement doctor!» HELLO why didn’t you tell us this 30days AGO??? How sad that you did not CARE ENOUGH about your patient to let us know that then. TO ad more insult to injury, your billing of that last visit was all messed up, and to reach your billing department was difficult due to a voice mail that said «I am on maternity leave»! THE WHOLE BILLING DEPARTMENT IS ON MATERNITY LEAVE??? MOVE ON TO A DIFFERENT DOCTOR… P. S. Dr. Cravetti is AMAZING!!! Check him out…

I visited Dr. Thomas because of a sudden onset of extreme pain in my right knee.
I had been power walking 2 – 3 miles a day which came to an abrupt halt as suddenly I had difficulty even walking the dog.
Dr. Thomas sent me for an MRI and an x-​ray and gave me his diagnosis.
He recommended immediate surgery to repair a torn meniscus which he says was the cause of the pain.
I decided to seek a second opinion and went to see Dr. Michael Miao bringing with me the original MRI and x-​ray.
After examining me and reviewing the MRI and x-​ray Dr. Miao said I did not need surgery and in fact surgery would not correct the problem.
He said I did have a small tear in the meniscus but that was not the cause of the pain.
He said that the muscles in my leg had atrophied and caused the knee to shift which was causing all the pain.
When I asked how that can be with all the walking I do he said there are different muscles involved.
Dr. Miao recommend rehabilitation to strengthen the muscles in my leg which sounded a lot better than surgery and it was.
After about 3 months of leg strengthening exercises the pain is completely gone and I am back to my normal routine.
In my opinion Dr. Thomas recommended surgery as surgery pays a lot more than sending a patient for rehab.
I am a 73 year old healthy male who has never had surgery and thanks Dr. Miao I cans still make that claim.
Advice: Get a second or even a third opinion.

My appointment was at 9:45 am with Dr Bigler and at 10:45 am I was still waiting to see Dr Bigler. And it was only to go over what they seen in my xray. I like dr Bigler and they have done a lot for me.

I came to Dr. Thomas on a referral from a friend. I needed a second opinion on my knee injury, I sustained from playing flag football. I bent and twisted my left knee pretty good, I thought it was nothing but went to quick care and they said it was a possible tear. Dr. Thomas confirmed a slight tear in my mcl. After some treatment I am now fine all thanks to Dr. Thomas’ diligence and helpful staff. Running and feeling good again!

Came in to get an evaluation on my wrist. I thought I might of broke it falling off a Vespa. In fact their is a small bone broken. Dr. Thomas was very nice and attentive. I really liked the facility there! It was very clean and professional…

Great doctor

I had knee surgery there in April of ’08, and I am still not better. On my initial appointment, the Doctor Thomas had not eluded to the length of time this surgery would heal, he did however tell me that he felt by November of ’08 I’d be able to run and play sports like normal. I am 29 years old and have not been able to do any of these things. I had my surgery and I did what I was told, did the rehab– w/​Matt Smith– who was great! Since my surgery I have only heard from Dr. Thomas 2x. once later that day of my surgery and 2^nd for the 1 followup that I had– in which I had a 7:30am appointment and didn’t get in to see him until 9am.
if you want some better personal care, I’d go somewhere else. My knee still hurts and needless to say it is frustrating as all not to be able to be active… and not know when.
