Dr. Thomas saved my life. Not once, but several times. The first time he saved my life was when I’d been to every doctor (private and NHS) in London for the rare but severe lower back injury I had. No one was able to diagnose my condition or provide any kind of symptom relief. Dr. Thomas was the first doctor to accurately diagnose what I had and provide temporary relief of symptoms. I was almost suicidal when I walked into his office for the first time, but was completely changed within months. The second time Dr. Thomas saved my life was when he was actually able to find a surgeon who was willing to operate on my injury. No doctor wanted to take on the risk of performing a new and unproven surgery without any chance of success - but Dr. Thomas went above and beyond to find me a surgeon that would. After almost a year of searching he found me a surgeon and the surgery went ahead. It was 100% successful and I have been given a new life. I never thought this was possible and I owe Dr. Thomas everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
