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+++.

  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.

  This is not really about Dr. THOMAS-EAPEN. It was some random doctor who I guess was in training? He didn't seem to listen well.

  The doctors that saw me (an Attending and a Resident) were very calm, pleasant, and caring. In complete contrast to the nurse that checked me in, Dr. Thomas-Eapen did NOT act rushed or annoyed with me in any way. She was very calm and attentive. She made no mention of not doing the procedure I had been scheduled for. She asked me some questions and then examined the skin tags under my arm. She then informed me that her Resident (I believe is the term) would be doing the procedure and she explained how it would go. I was very happy that this doctor did not act the same way towards me that the nurse did and I have nothing but good things to say about both doctors that worked with me during this appointment. The procedure was completed successfully and I was out of their office before the 40 minutes allotted (in MyChart) were even up.

  Dr. Thomas-Eapen was wonderful. She was attentive, patient, informative, competent, efficient, and kind. She periodically checked to make sure I was okay during the procedure, explained what she was doing every step of the way, and allowed me to ask questions as she performed the procedure.
