Let me tell you about two very exceptional people. They are Drs. Chris and Anne Thompson, husband and wife in business together. Their main goal is to help people and putting these said people as the top priority of their business. They are both dentists in Turlock.

I have been going to them for over a decade. The entire staff are on the same page. They truly care about people and want to help them in any way possible.

When you walk into the office, you are met with a bright and airy waiting room with the two neatest ladies ever. I don't think they know how to be mean and/or mad. They really make your day.

Chris, Anne, and their assistants are truly great people. They never talk over you or treat you like you aren't there. They always include you in the decisions and are never pushy or try to force you into an immediate decision. They don't hesitate if a second opinion is needed or requested; they encourage it. They put you at ease and are constantly making sure that you are doing OK and checking to see that you are comfortable.

You can be in contact with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week and they never make you feel like you are bothering them. They really make you feel special and your needs are top priority.

Take it from me, JoAnn Abraham, you can never go wrong going to Chris and Anne Thompson for any of your dental needs. They and their staff are truly loving and caring people.

I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist for 34 years, so when you read what I have to say, please take that into account regarding Dr. Chris Thompson and his dental practice!!!!

I have been a patient at the office of Dr. Chris & Anne Thompson for several months now, after being referred there by a good friend. Since I walked into their practice from the very first day I have had absolutely no regrets whatsoever. From the front desk staff to the back office staff there is just such a warm, friendly and caring atmosphere all around.

I think the positive atmosphere in that office is a reflection of the DDS, who perhaps provides that example first and foremost to his staff. After having worked in dental offices for as long as I have, I know that the "staff mood and atmosphere" has a lot to do with the employer's moods and personality. This speaks highly for Dr.'s Chris and Anne Thompson, since all of the staff is professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and as I mentioned prior.....warm, friendly and caring. I have never felt uncomfortable after I have walked into this office.

They should also be commended for their punctuality. They strive to stay on time and not keep anyone waiting for long. I know that, also, is important to patients that don't care to wait too long..... whether it be because they don't like to sit too long and think about where they are, or whether they have a busy schedule that they must adhere to!!

The dental treatment provided by Dr. Chris Thompson has been nothing short of awesome!! He shows an interest in you as a "person" with dental needs, not just a "mouth" with dental needs. Speaking from my own personal perspective, as well as on behalf of my 22-year-old son who is now also a patient there, we prefer a DDS that walks into the treatment room and begins the appointment by actually talking to us and explaining the procedures to be done, as well as showing an interest in us as people! We have always felt a bit unnerved by a DDS that walks in and says very little, then picks up the tools and gets to work!! Dr. Chris has always been more than happy to talk with you before, during, and after your dental procedure!!

Finally, I would like to mention that the DDS and his staff provide gentle dentistry in this office, which I know is very important, not only to myself, but probably most people out there!! No "brutes" in this office.........they are considerate of your level of pain tolerance and strive to keep you "pain-free". The dental assistants in this office are very professional, and I have never had any doubt that they certainly know what they are doing!! I trust them just as much as I trust the DDS!

I would highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a true "dental home" where you will feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that you are receiving the very best and up-to-date dental treatment out there!!
