I also had the privilege of working with Dr. Thomson. He always treated the staff wonderful and his patient's as well. He never made them feel rushed and always listened to concerns. He never made us feel inferior as nurses and considered are opinions. He will truly be missed.
I also had the opportunity to work with Dr. Thomson at American Fork Hospital. He was always kind to us nurses and would listen to us and our ideas and concerns. He was always kind and compassionate to his patients and their families. So grateful for him! Carrie Gause
Dr Thomson was fun to work and play with. When my 94 year old mother-in-law came to live with us, my first choice for a physician for her was Dr Thomson. He was so sweet and gentle with her. My husband and his brothers were so grateful for his care.
I had the privilege of working with Dr Thomson at the American Fork Hospital. Always caring, kind and thoughtful. The knowledge and expertise blessed and healed many individuals. I’m sorry for your great loss and may Heavenly Father bless you all during a difficult time.

He was our absolute favorite doctor...of all time. We were sad when he left private practice and went to the hospital full time. We did NOT want to have to find a new doctor! We will never forget how kind and gentle he was while taking care of us! He always spent time listening and explaining. He made you feel like you were his only patients! That personal and loving touch meant the world to us! We also appreciated his humor! While getting an injection to numb a part of my leg, without thinking and because I was used to talking to 4 small children all day, I found myself saying “Owie” as Dr Thomson gave me the shot. With a grin on his face, he paused and looked at me and said “Owie?!” Then he started to laugh. At first I was embarrassed that my mom voice had slipped that out but hearing him laugh made me laugh too...I never felt any pain after that. Being able to laugh with your doctor is special! Our daughter was also blessed to help care for him in his final year of life. Oh how she loved “Terry”. She did not know him as the kind doctor we did but she knew how amazing and kind and gentle he was as she got to know his family and him. She felt it an honor to care for him at this time. To sum it up best—He was a good man and a GREAT doctor! Our heartfelt condolences to the entire Thomson family especially his sweet wife Debbie! We love Dr Thomson!
