"Dr. Thoburn is very nice but also very blunt and to the point when it comes to the risks involved. He seems very compassionate and that says alot for some surgeons. I am a medical professional and not all doctors are caring and understanding. He listened to me and answered all my questions without hesitation. Beleive me, I drilled him too. I even asked how many years he has been doing this and how many surgeries he has performed. he answered without hestitation again. My husband likes him too. His office staff is very nice and caring too. He made it a point to tell me that this is just a tool to help with the weight loss but that afterwards it is up to me and my change in my behavior and the way I think and eat that will determine if this will be a success. I dont think there was anything thing that I really disliked about him. He seems very understanding and sympathetic to my struggle.
Dr. Thoburn was great before and after my surgery. I was told by several of the nursing staff that he was one of the best and I had an excellent doctor. He joked around a bit with me and teased me some. I like him overall. "
