Dr. Thompson loves creating lasting bonds with families and watching the children she treats grow with the practice. In her free time, she fills her days treasuring time with her family, hiking, going to the movies, and chasing waves at the beach. Truly a kid at heart, you can also find her enjoying Disney movies just as much as her patients do!
