Thomas Edward Gaines

There is no surgeon I have ever had that makes me feel more cared for and confident that I am in good hands. He has cared for me since removing my lung cancer in 2014 and this past year has worked with me to solve the fistula in my esophagus. Instead of going for a very invasive surgery he had performed several times, he researched and found a new operation that had only been performed twice before (once in France and once in the US. Pulling in Dr. Kleppy, a none invasive surgery doctor at UT Medical Center, he worked with him to insert six small clips into my esophagus. The operation worked!! Dr. Gaines is not only a brilliant doctor, but an equally caring human being.

Dr. Gaines is simply one of the best surgeons/Dr's I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He takes the time to thoroughly explain what to expect during the procedure as well as the aftercare that will be involved. He truly cares about his patients as he followed up multiple times while I was recovering in the hospital. Even on Saturday and Sunday he stopped by to see how I was doing. His office staff deserves 5 stars as well! Diagnosed with lung cancer can be a traumatic diagnosis to digest, but Dr. Gaines and his staff truly went that extra mile to ensure support and care were the top priority. Many thanks to Dr. Gaines & his staff as they are a well oiled team that put you, the patient first and foremost!

Dr. Gaines has got to be the best Surgeon around. With that being said his office staff needs a class Customer Service.

It's been almost 2 years since Dr Gaines performed lung cancer surgery and I am cancer free. Dr Gaines is an excellent surgeon and he has an excellent supporting group of associates.

Dr Gaines performed my lung surgery, he is a excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Gaines did surgery on my husband in 2014. He had to have his esophagus removed, it was because his esophagus had torn. We couldn't have chosen a better Dr to do the job. He is a wonderful man who cares deeply about his patients with a serious attitude about their health. His work has been complimented by other doctors we have seen many times, in these past few years during my husbands recovery. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.
