I have NEVER commented on a website or posted a review. We were referred to Dr. Thomas after being told that my son's shoulder was fine by another physician. Turned out he had a dislocated shoulder, broken scapula, torn labrum, and severe nerve damage following a motocross crash. Dr. T put Humpty Dumpty back together again and the shoulder has been 100% after completing the PT. Since then my son has been back for a broken tib/fib of which Dr. T's recommendation was no surgery. That is contrary to some of the other posts on this site. Most recently, he broke the scaphoid in his left hand which was less sever and only required casting. I also had shoulder surgery to reattach a tendon, repair a torn labrum, and remove calcium deposits and arthritis. My shoulder feels 100x better at 50% recovery! I also referred a coworker to DR T. who was also very satisfied. The staff is awesome, especially David and the PT crew is just as good, kudos to Zach! Highly recommend.

I had my shoulder fixed by Dr. Thomas and am 100 percent better. He fixed my son's broken leg as well. I have referred people to him, and everyone has been happy. I don't get the reviews above at all. I love his staff too. Especially David. I sound like a staff member... I'm not! Just a person who is enjoying life with a shoulder that now works perfectly!!

I initially wasn't going to write anything, but I thought I should so others won't have to go through what I did with this so called doctor. I had some shoulder pain that was coming from my rotator cuff. Instead of giving me physical therapy he said I needed surgery. I believed him since I thought he was the doctor and he knew better. Its been over a year after my surgery and I'm in more pain than before. Then after visiting other doctors for their opinions, they said I didn't even need the surgery to begin with. I had taken them my pre surgery mri's. Like someone else said on this site...he's dishonest and is only worried about how many surgeries he can perform. After you see his swanky office you'll know why he will perform surgery on pretty much everyone he meets. I'm really upset and angry I didn't get other opinions before I jumped in for this surgery. I'm also angry this doctor suckered me into believing I needed the surgery.

Dr. Thomas and his staff go beyond the call of duty when treating patients. We have referred many friends and family members to this practice, all with great results!

I Love Dr. T. I am a competitive volleyball player and has an amazing experience with him and his office. I had a couple bad knee surgeries from other docs and went to see Dr. T for a revision after I had been told I would never play again. He did a minimally invasive surgery, and I was back to playing 6 months later - that year we won a national title and I was so happy to be a part of it. Everyone who plays sports and has an injury should definitely see Dr. T - he's awesome :)

Excellent facility in Manhattan Beach. Doctor and staff went out of their way to be informative and courteous.

unethical. told me "If you didn't want surgery, why did you come to my office?" Then I found out there were many other options like injections and physical therapy..

Dr Thomas put in a partial knee replacement that was 2 sizes too big and let me walk around in pain for 6 months, blaming me and the PT person as to my lack of recovery. Had to go to Cedars for 2nd opinion and replaced hardware with correct size so almost 2 years later still recovering. Dr. Thomas isn't an honest person and lacks integrity.

Over an hour late for my appointment both times! And once I did finally get to see him, he completely misdiagnosed my symptom and asked ME what I thought we should do about it.
