Disappointing decline in care and compassion
The medical facilities at Alkrington and Junction have significantly deteriorated following the retirement of the previous partner physicians. Unlike Dr. Thomason, who was attentive and patient, the new partner GP comes across as dismissive, condescending, and uninterested in truly hearing patients' concerns. This approach has made medical appointments feel like an anxiety-inducing experience. In a particularly troubling incident, a letter was drafted regarding a vulnerable family member that contained inaccurate information and was not grounded in their actual medical documentation. After maintaining a long-standing relationship with this practice for more than two decades, I've concluded it's necessary to seek out a different healthcare provider.

Dr. Thomason and Dr. Martin seem all too eager to impose their religious beliefs on patients. It's astonishing that they haven't faced professional disciplinary action for such inappropriate conduct.
