         Dr.Thompson has practiced oral and maxillofacial surgery in Kokomo for over 30 years, while living in Kokomo and raising his family here.  He is an avid fan of IN University sports teams, has run the Mini Marathon in Indianapolis annually, and is actively involved in his local church. His desire is to treat you and your family the way he would want to be treated himself.

On September 29, 2016 Dr. Thompson had the opportunity to volunteer his time at the LaMOM Louisiana Mission of Mercy Event in New Orleans (above). He spent the day as part of a group of dental health providers giving services to the underserved population in need, which was especially timely as the hurricane and flooding of late summer 2016 was still devastating Louisiana.   

Dr. Thompson really enjoys volunteering his time with the Mission of Mercy organization.  On February 2, 2018 he spent the day at the Choctaw Event Center in Durant, Oklahoma providing oral surgery services as part of the Oklahoma M.O.M. (above)  We all enjoy the biannual Indiana MOM event. May 17,2019 we were in Ft. Wayne serving as a team. We are already looking forward to 2021!
