Dr. John T. Thompson, MD

Towson, MD

After conducting a careful, conscientious examination, Dr. Thompson located and laser treated a small tear in my ight retina. (I had no idea that the tear existed and was actually there about my left eye.) I consider myself fortunate to have been referred to Retina Specialists and to have been seen by Dr. Thompson. It is my considered opinion that the entire staff treats patients with professionalism and empathy. That's an impressive combination. If one must wait to their turn to be seen, it is truly worth the wait because it indicates that patients are not being rushed through.

Around 1Nov22, I experienced periodic flashes of light in the peripheral vision of my right eye; in addition, I presented with an increase from the usual # of floaters I'd already had. Having had laser surgery for a torn retina in my left eye about 1991, I had an established history of predisposition to this eye problem. I was seen by Dr. Thompson 45 hours after I first noticed symptoms, and was informed it was a moderate retinal tear that required immediate intercession. Here two months later, my floaters and flashes have diminished, and I believe it's been successfully resolved. I give ernest praise for both Dr. Thompson (and for Dr. Baranano who also saw me about 2017 for a very minute retinal tear), and the entire staff at GBMC's retinal specialty group. IMHO, they run a smooth operation, and undeniably rate 5 stars!

I am an ophthalmologist living in CT. My brother , who lives in Baltimore, has a history of retinal tears. He developed symptoms of a new tear and I urged him to be seen immediately. He was given a timely appointment, a new tear was identified and he was treated by Dr Thompson, whom I’ve never met, successfully the same day. I reviewed the records and was greatly impressed by his thoroughness and competence. I highly recommend him!! Dr Patricia Caton Reardon
