Scared at first; then trust.

I was admitted to the emergency room at Mercy, where a Dr suddenly told me that I would need surgery, which scared me to the core. But Dr Thompson's patient explanation allayed my fears. I walked into the operating room confident in the outcome. After the surgery the Dr also provided expert care, --follow up phone calls and office visits.

Best Late Night Commercial Find EVER!!!!

I couldn't have been happier to have found this Doctor and crew staying p late watching commercials. Like a God send because I prayed to find the right way to go. Goodness they are so warm, understanding and welcoming! I feel so encouraged, so supported and that was from walking through the door the very first day! Dr. Thompson cares so much he even postponed my surgery due to an underlying illness he felt would be more of a detriment to my longevity. He and the team worked with my PCP to get me healthy before even considering rescheduling. THIS is definitely not all about the money. You are not just a dollar sign, you are truly cared for. So much so I am now bringing my mother to start her process. Having been down this road before I can promise you, this is definitely the best place hands down. OH and lets not forget the music gets you moving when you walk in LOL. Much love to alllll of Clarity Surgical Weight Loss Solutions! You guys have put a beautiful new pep in my step!

Amazing

Dr. Thompson and his crew has been absolutely phenomenal with helping me on my weight loss journey. They have answered every single phone call, email, silly question with promptness. I reached out in June and before I knew it, I was laying on the surgery bed. You are all amazing and thank you for being apart of my team.

Dr Thompson helped me tremendously and now my pain is gone

Dr Thompson listened to my medical concerns and helped me get out of pain due to my bad gallbladder. The surgery went smoothly and the recovery went well. I would highly recommend him.

Expert Care

Dr. Thompson and his whole team are absolutely phenomenal. I came to Dr. Thompson at 5 years post of from a previous surgery with a different surgeon. I had developed severe acid reflux. Dr. Thompson not only took my concerns seriously, he acted quickly to help address this issue. I am so thankful for this and for him! The whole office staff at Clarity Surgical were the most helpful in helping to get all my clearances for surgery in and answering any questions I had along the way. I can not recommend them high enough!

Life changing step to better overall health.

My experience has been nothing but wonderful. Dr. Thompson is extremely supportive and provided everything that I needed pre-op and post op. The VSG procedure completely changed my life for the better giving me increased energy, better mental and physical health and an excited outlook towards daily life. I am excited to do things and be more social then I ever have. Thank you Clarity Surgical!

Best gift I could have ever given myself!

Dr. T is literally the most caring and supportive provider ever. He is patient and kind and has the best bed-side manners. He listens to your concerns and helps to find the best options for his patients. He was not my first bariatric surgeon option, but he was definitely the better option!
