Carolina Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center – Gastonia

We met with Dr. Thomason for the first time today and our initial impression was very positive. He took our questions seriously and responded in a reassuring manner, after reviewing the x-rays, that only a complete knee replacement surgery would bring a full and long lasting recovery. Plans are to pursue his recommendation, as soon as possible, which will be based on when the resolution of other personal health issues are resolved.

Dr. Thomason is a very skilled and talented orthopedic surgeon. He did my total right hip replacement early one morning and I was home by 1:30 that afternoon. I was able to walk with a walker into my house by myself the day of surgery. My hip already feels so much better and has less pain than before the hip replacement. Everything that Dr. Thomason told me to expect before and after surgery has been spot on. There have been no bad surprises and no infections. Dr. Thomason and his staff are very kind, compassionate, and caring. If you are in need of a joint replacement I highly recommend them to you.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the Physical Therapy department. From the moment I walked in, the entire team was welcoming, professional, and truly invested in my recovery. Jess took the time to understand my goals and created a personalized plan that not only helped me heal but also made me stronger. Each session was encouraging, challenging in the best way, and always focused on progress. Jess and Brandon explained everything clearly, celebrated small wins with me, and made what could have been a stressful process feel motivating and uplifting. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a team that genuinely cares about your health and success.

My name is Angela Dockery and I especially want to acknowledge and thank the executive CEO leadership for the positive company culture. It is clear in every aspect of the clinic's staff and operation. It is evident that your leadership has cultivated an organization that is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares for its patients. The lead by example attitude was clearly shown when the CEO contacted me when I was deeply concerned with a problem I had encountered. He discussed and apologized for an error that had occurred and made it right. Thank you for your humble and discerning leadership.

Love this place! Would not EVER consider going anywhere else. The doctors are awesome. Staff is great and friendly. I’ve seen Cooklish, Johnson, Parikah, and Thomas.No complaints.
