HELLO, I JUST HAD SURGERY WITH DR THOBURN ON NOV,9TH AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AS A SURGEON. HE WAS GREAT WITH ME AND HIS STAFF WAS WONDERFUL. CHRISTINE IS A SWEET HEART! AND DR THOUBURN IS QUITE CAREFUL AND CAREING. I WOULD TAKE WITH ME A COPY OF ALL YOUR DOCTORS MED NESS. LETTERS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AND ANY PROFF OF OTHER DIETS. AND YOU SHOULD GET A BLUE BOOKLET IN THE MAIL. IT TELLS YOU ALL ABOUT THE SURGERY WHAT TO EXPECT ETC. IF YOU WANT TO TALK MORE FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME. I GO TO HIS OFFICE TO HSVE MY STAPLES OUT ON TUE. BRENDA KINNEY [email protected]
