I’ve had 3 surgeries with Dr. Thigpen over a 10 year period including both bunions and an OCD lesion repair to my ankle. All of my recoveries went well. He make very tidy incisions that heal so beautifully. My broken ankle was a bit of a mess but he cleaned it up and it’s pain free. He's a popular guy so you may a wait but it’s worth it. All of the support staff in his office are friendly and knowledgable.
“Excellent surgeon with a sense of humor”
