My wife had an injured knee and was in a great deal of pain for almost a year. After goin to a few orthopedic surgeons for opinions with confusing and baffling diagnosis we, finally through a family member found Dr Tompkins. Thank God we did. He gave us a solution we felt confident would have a good outcome. He set up surgery for my wife with the help of his incredibly efficient, knowledgeable and caring staff at Redwood orthopedics in a very short time her surgery date was set. We received clear simple preop instructions and the day of her surgery went to the state of the art outpatient surgery center for the procedure. They could not be more caring. She went into surgery and after Dr Tompkins came out to personally tell me of the wonderful outcome. He did more work than was shown on the MRI and explained in simple layman terms what had taken place and what to expect in the coming recouperative period. The recovery nurses were knowledgeable caring and made her very comfortable. The next day we were scheduled to see him for aftercare where he and his staff reviewed with pictures work performed and told us how to care for her. I was amazed that even the night of the surgery her pain was less than before the surgery. The next day she was walking confidently about the house in relatively little pain and with full function of her knee. I just cant say enough about the professional treatment and quality care we received. My wife will be able with some physical therapy to walk again painlessly thanks to Dr Tompkins and his wonderful stall. Amazing
