She is attentive to my concerns, offers great advice for my issues and age. Professional and personable. Wish she could take on new patients for friends who are not able to have a Dr for PCP.

Dr. Thorndike is a caring and thoughtful primary care doctor. She listens and provides feedback and suggestions for all my concerns. She's willing to think "outside the box" and initiate many solutions. She is thorough in her physical and oral exams. She is friendly, yet respectful and professional during our visits. Getting a Primary Care doctor can be a challenge. I am very happy to have Dr. Thorndike as mine.
