I wish I could give the staff at Thompson Healthcare & Sports Medicine - Toms River office more than 5 stars, everyone on staff is fantastic.
Prior to living in the Toms River area and being a Thompson patient, I underwent several cervical spine epidurals to eliminate pain radiating from my neck down to my fingertips. These epidurals would work ~6 months and then I'd require another round for the pain. I started seeing Dr. Lynn and am thrilled that I haven't needed one since; it's been 4+ years since my last cervical epidural. Dr. Lynn is proactive in her approach to treatment, listens to any concerns I have, and is always available when needed. Dr. Josh takes every ache, pain, and concern into consideration when treating his patients and you never feel like your treatment is rushed. Krista, Thompson's nurse practitioner, always goes the extra mile and does everything she can to make her patient's lives easier. My sons (ages 16 and 20) are also patients and I wouldn't want them going anywhere else.
I also have ongoing back issues and Thompson provided me with all the non-surgical options available: PT (Dr.'s Cassie and Pete), acupuncture (April), massage therapy (Andrea), lower lumbar epidurals (Dr. Yen) and ultimately when that wasn't enough to eliminate my pain, referred me to a great surgeon. While I'm not 100% pain-free, I'm in a much better place than I was.
From the doctors and nurses to the office staff, they're all top notch. I like that Thompson isn't a stuffy, formal office where it's just "all business"; I know they're treating me and my family exactly how they would treat their own. You won't find a better team. read more
