    She is truly a gift to medicine. She was so thorough in her explanations and she was so knowledgeable and caring. I was anxious about the procedure and she observed that and she immediately put me at ease. During the procedure, she would check on me to ensure I was doing okay. Again, she is truly a gift to medicine. I will highly recommend her to others in need of the same or similar procedures. I cannot say enough good things about her. She deserves a 10+++.

      The doctor did not care about my pain at all, and she acted like I was exaggerating about my symptoms and pain.

      Dr. Thomas-Eapen is an excellent doctor. She listens to patient concerns and tries least invasive therapies first but will move through to other options as needed.

      She never touched me as far as an examination. I did for paperwork to be filled out she only signed it I never filled it out. I had to make a return visit to the club to get my paperwork filled out. She kept pointing out that she was a professor which which kind of bothered me because I want to see her as a physician.
