89 y/o mother had cataract surgery.
From the check-in procedure to the surgery, every staff member showed great caring. My mom prayed with Dr. Thomas and he was very considerate allowing her to do that. My mom really liked Dr. Thomas and was very pleased with the actual surgery. We would recommend him again in a heartbeat. Very caring and very patient.

Pleasant office, friendly courteous front desk personnel, outstanding tech Samantha, very helpful surgery coordinator Kaci, and Dr. Thomas is excellent. He was very friendly, relaxed (which helped me relax), thoroughly explained things in language that I could understand, and answered every question. I didn't feel that he was in a hurry to move on and gave me his undivided attention. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas and his entire staff, and am eagerly awaiting my cataract surgery and seeing better.

I am impressed at every visit by the thoughtfulness of Dr Thomas and the entire staff at the clinic. He always has time to answer any questions I have and explain issues to me. I never feel like just another number with my interaction with him or any of the staff who help me. His treatment plan for my situation is definitely working

Dr Thomas is an honest professional, quick but thorough. He also removed a tag on my eyelid without a special appointment. Healed without a scar and no followup needed. He's a great doctor.

Dr Thomas and the staff at MNP are exceptional in all they do! They treated me with respect and were very intent on giving the best care possible. I was nearly blind but the staff at MNP in both Branson Missouri and in Springfield Missouri acted very quickly to attempt to save my sight. Just a few months since my first visit with Dr Thomas, I can see better than I've seen in a very long time! When it looked like I would go blind, the staff at MNP really came through for me, professionally, courteously, with excellent care and attention that I have come to see is the norm at MNP! Sincere thanks to the brilliant Drs and staff at MNP Branson and Springfield Missouri! You have changed my life as a result of your exceptional care! Randell Harris

I highly recommend Dr. Thomas. He is caring, professional and engaged with his patients. He actively listens and takes time to answer all questions. I’ve had a few post-surgical appointments during the COVID pandemic and have always been impressed with the high level of sanitation and strict adherence to masking and COVD protocols.
