Mr Dominic Thompson

My name is Masumah, I was born with spina bifida. Dr.Thompson is an exceptional neurosurgeon who has made an immeasurable impact on me and my family's life. From our very first consultation, Dr.Thompson demonstrated not only an incredible depth of knowledge and expertise but also a genuine sense of compassion and care that immediately put us at ease. Dr.Thompson took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, how long the surgery would take, and what we could expect during and after the procedure. They answered all of our questions with patience and clarity, ensuring that we felt fully informed and empowered to make the best decisions for me. The surgery itself was a success, and Dr.Thompson's skill and precision were evident in my remarkable recovery. What truly sets Dr.Thompson apart is their unwavering commitment to their patients. They went above and beyond to provide support and guidance throughout the entire process, from pre-operative planning to post-operative care. Their dedication to improving lives of children with spina bifida is truly inspiring, and we are eternally grateful for their expertise, compassion, and unwavering support. We Wholeheartedly recommend Dr.Thompson to any family seeking the best possible care for their child with spina bifida.

Doctor Dominic Thompson and team were so amazing with my son at Great Ormand St hospital, my son has had many surgeries and in all past years I have seen many surgeons due to my son's surgerys but I have never meet a surgeon who takes every opportunity to visit his patients and speak with such compassion and kindness. There are very few doctors like Mr Dominic Thompson he is a hero for my son and he is a very kind and caring respectful person a great human and he leads a great team too he has good leadership skills. I will always remember how much Dr Thompson helped my son recover and how the surgery he did helped my son. But what stands out most is the caring nature of Dr Thompson and the kindness he showed.

Dr Thompson was my neurosurgeon when I was four years old as I had a major surgery. He was a lovely doctor he took great care of me and was truly patient. I have been going to see him for annual checkups and he is very understanding and cautious with everything. As I am 16 already I will not be visiting him as often anymore and I will truly be grateful for everything he has done for me. Overall, I truly recommend him and believe that all his patients will be treated with upmost care.

Dr Thompson was the neurosurgeon for my daughters surgery 13 years ago. He is an exceptional doctor and truly caring. He has a very great relationship with all his patients and their parents/guardians. I have met several neuro consultant and surgeons throughout the 16 years that I have been in and out hospital due to my daughter‘s condition however, he is the best doctor that I have Met. Dr Thompson is truly patient as he was able to calmly explain everything about this surgery several times to me as English is not my main language and sometimes I struggle to understand medicinal terms. Overall, I really recommend this doctor and I know you would be looked after with great care.

Dominic Thompson was my daughters neurosurgeon. She underwent surgery on two occasions to untether her spinal cord. Her last surgery was in 2007 and she is now 24 years old. I could never thank this man enough for what he did for us. He listened, explained, cared, made solid recommendations and performed amazing surgeries. It is now ten years since I have seen him and yet am still driven to recommend him. Me and my family are eternally grateful that he chose Neurosurgery and GOSH.

Mr Thompson has operated on my son, Michael, twice in three years. First and foremost, he is an amazing neurosurgeon- but it is the fact that he breaks the ‘surgeon’ mould by being so personable that makes him extra special for me. My son has a long list of medical issues and we’ve met numerous surgeons in his little life, and Mr Thompson, without doubt, is the best. He is thorough in his clinical practice, kind and calm in his bedside manner. He listens and is empathetic and delivers information about surgeries etc with patience. I trust him implicitly and could not ask for a better surgeon for my little boy. And Michael loves him!! Thank you Mr Thompson!!

Mr Thompson is a fantastic consultant words can not explain or describe how professional and truly gifted he is we owe our child's life to him a very special person indeed thank you. Mr Thompson performed a c1 fixation and decompression of of our young child's spine. He has a execellent team around him thank you again so much. I would be more than happy to speak to families that would be about to go threw what we did and to be contact threw Mr Thompsons team at gosh.

The day of the operation was both stressful and emotional. The nursing staff on the Koala ward made the day bearable. The standard of care that both me and my parents received was outstanding. Thank you all. If you ever find yourself in care of Mr Thompson and his team, you've got no need to worry, you're in safe hands.

I was under the care of Mr Thompson for nearly six years, during which he operated on me five times, and I can honestly say that I never questioned Mr Thompson's advice because I have always confident in the knowledge that he knew what was best for me. Mr Thompson would always explain to me, and my family, what needed doing, in terms that I could understand, while still addressing me and not treating me like a child - something that he has continued to do over the years. Another thing that is great about Mr Thompson is that he only ever gives information that he is one hundred per cent sure of, which really helped me and my parents in dealing with everything. I am now so much better and it is because of Mr Thompson and the other wonderful staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Thank you!

We visited several times over 2yrs with our daughter who has a growth disability. Dominic Thompson was reviewing her case and medical needs including reviewing the scans of her neck and back. He has assured us that there are no concerns and put aside any fears we may have had. He was also very good with our daughter and made the whole experience go as well as could be expected for something of this nature involving a childs health and numerous hospital visits. Great Ormond Street and the people who work there are still doing wonderful things. there really is no place quite like it that I know of. Thank You.
