Dr Thornton saved my life. He is the absolute best in tissue reconstruction in the world. I was in a terrible situation due to previous doctors and had lost my hope until we met. I went through several doctors over a 7 year period and they all made my situation worse and it is a miracle I found him. I had lost so much time until I found him. From the moment I met him I knew I was in the right place -He explained everything so well and assured me that I could look normal again. Everything he promised exceeded my expectations. I went from no hope to getting my life back after being told by other doctors it was impossible. You can’t imagine how skilled he and Dr May are - and they truly care about your well being. Their staff and office is so well run - from the front desk to the nurses, etc. and Dr Thornton and Dr May are not just incredibly talented doctors but they are incredible people. I have so much respect and gratitude for them. I went from hopeless to getting my life back. If you get the opportunity to have him or Dr Jessica May as your Doctors consider yourself lucky. I can’t THANK THEM enough!

Dr Micheal Thornton is an awesome cosmetic surgeon. I had several procedures done . To name a couple one was breast reconstruction bilateral and a liposuction. I am so pleased with the results. I will definitely recommend him to anyone if you’re looking for the best. I feel like I’m 25. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Look 👀 like I’m 40 but really I’m 71🤷🏽♀️ His staff is professional, friendly & helpful. They all get a 5 star ⭐️ rating.

Has done multiple skin cancer repairs for me over the last 10 years. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. He’s an amazing surgeon and a fantastic person. Can’t recommend highly enough.

My father is 85 and lives 2 hours away from Dallas. We saw Dr. Thornton to close up an area where a melanoma was removed from my father's face. Dr. Thornton explained everything about my fathers procedure and aftercare thoroughly and answered our questions and addressed our concerns. He took time to get to know what would make things easier for my father during and after the surgery. Overall our experience was excellent. My only complaints (not about the Dr.) might be that our nurse was difficult for my father to understand due to her very heavy accent and the sidewalk at the front was deeply textured so it was painful for my father to be rolled in a wheelchair on. Either way, we absolutely return here for care in the future and highly recomend to family and friends.

Dr. Thornton is absolutely amazing!! I had the Mohs surgery done on the tip of my nose which left a nickel size hole in it. He did the nasal flap surgery and its healing beautifully. I highly recommend him to do his magic!
