Some Dr. Melvin Thornton opinions

“ Dr. Thorton is now the Medical Director at CT Fertility and they are lucky to have him. The quality of care where he was previously at, CWRC at Columbus Circle, went downhill. Luckily before that happened Dr. Thornton helped me successfully conceive my now 6 year old daughter. Now I’m trying to conceive again and I followed him to CT Fertility because, as I’ve told him, there is no one I trust more with my uterus than Dr. Thornton. He also just made Castle Connolly’s top doctor list in 2017. He’s top notch, caring, down-to-earth, and believes in every woman’s potential to be a mother. Luv that guy!”







“Dr. Thornton is a very knowledgeable doctor. At first i felt he had a lot of patience and makes you feel at ease. That changed over time. The problem is the practice. The staff and the nurses in the Westchester Office are terrible. They are out right nasty and not helpful. One day one of the nurses got mad at Dr. Thornton because he told her to take my blood and all she wanted to do was go home. It left a really bad feeling for me. I needed surgery and unfortunately they send you to Columbus Circle in Manhattan and you have no idea what doctor will perform the surgery. What a disaster that was. The place was so small, they stick you in a closet to change your clothes. I walked myself into the OR. When the surgery was over they made me get up from the table and walk into a chair. Then I asked for my husband and was told only patients were allowed in the back. I asked them to tell him I was okay but they never did. When it was time for me to change they made me walk to the closet again. They never put a pad or anything between my legs. I was bleeding everywhere and everyone in the room I had to walk through could see this. It was so embarrassing. After I healed and it was time for IUI I went for the day 2 testing. I was really nervous. Again it want Dr. Thornton. It was another doctor. They knew I was nervous. Later that day I received a call from a nurse who said they would not treat me nor go any further IUI until I had a psych evaluation because I was nervous. I asked to speak to Dr. Thornton but was told no and he never even returned my call. I spoke with my regular OBGYN and my Internist. They both agreed the “nervous” feeling I was having was normal and did not recommend a psych evaluation. Since Dr. Thornton never returned my call and showed me he truly did not care about me as a person I chose to leave the practice. Attempting to obtain my medical records just led to more problems and dealing with nasty staff. I am appreciative of the manager in the NYC office named Elizabeth who had to call the Westchester office and intervene so I could obtain my records. I would not recommend this offi e to anyone.”





“Dr. Thornton makes you feel at ease the minute you come into the office. My hubby wasn’t with me at the time and had to conference in, Dr. Thornton talked to him about baseball. I was very unhappy with the previous doctor I had. Dr. Thornton made me feel great and had a wonderful outlook on my treatment.“
