    One of the best doctors around. Always listens to you and always is very helpful. And hate to see him getting closer to retirement all the time. He's a good one. Thanks.

      Dr. Thorndyke's awesome. He always takes great care of me and is willing to answer any questions. The problem that I have is getting to see him and getting past the office staff because they don't care if you're sick or being in the hospital or what. You can't get an appointment or get in to see him in a timely fashion. But when you do get to see him, he's great and he takes great care of you, but the office staff is just not a bit cooperative.

      Dr Thorndyke took the time to listen to my concerns and took the time to explain my condition and treatment plan. The scheduling department needs to be more explanatory when canceling and rescheduling appointments. As I am an older person I have trouble following and understanding instructions at times.

      I have full confidence in Dr. Thorndyke. He listens carefully, lets me speak and answers any questions I might have. Like all physicians these days, he is very busy. But he never conveys the feeling that he is rushing me out the door. Our visits are congenial, informative and I believe he is truly concerned with my well being and medical condition. And, as a bonus, we always enjoy a good laugh or two during conversation.

      Dr. Thorndyke is a good doctor but he has the rudest staff. From the time you walk through the door, every person is rude and hateful. I'm always early and the lady at the desk acts like it's a crime to be early but yet there is a sign saying you have to reschedule if you are late. Doesn't make sense. All the nurses and other staff members are rude and hateful.
