Dr. Thompson is a board-certified and fellowship-trained spine surgeon. He specializes in the care of patients with problems of the back, neck, or spine. He may prescribe non-surgical treatments including physical therapy, spinal injections, medications, or massage; or he may perform surgical procedures including decompression, disc replacement, scoliosis correction, or spinal fusion. Dr. Thompson has special interests in treating young adults with scoliosis and in using cutting-edge technology to reduce the footprint of spinal surgery.

Recognizing that every person is unique, he helps each individual develop a personalized treatment plan. Whether a patient comes to him with leg cramps from stenosis or a numb arm from a blown-out disc in the neck, his goal is helping people regain their maximum potential.

Dr. Thompson serves as Medical Director of The Spine Center, which allows him to improve his patients' experience as they move through the office, hospital, and rehabilitation phases of treatment. Coordinating and collaborating with other experts, such as therapists, radiologists, and physiatrists, Dr. Thompson utilizes the

strengths of a team approach to help his patients reach their goals. He believes in the power and success of an accurate diagnosis, thoughtful and individualized treatment, and multi-modality rehabilitative care.

Patients frequently refer their families and friends to Dr. Thompson, and he believes there is no greater compliment than a satisfied patient saying, "Thanks! I'll send my family to you."

A Florida native, Dr. Thompson has embraced the beauties of the Pacific Northwest and enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, sailing, bicycling, and skiing.

I was [at Valley Medical] in December for back surgery -- this hospital is a 5-star from admissions through to surgical. Everyone was unbelievable. I've never had surgery before and I'm convinced that if I ever need surgery again, I would run to this place. I've never been more comfortable in handing over my life to a team that's truly professional in every way. A big shout out to Dr. Thompson of Proliance Orthopedic Associates, who performed my surgery and who put my mind at ease. He has got this and you're in the best possible hands. This space is definitely the place.
