"Over the last 28 years, I've taken out over 6,000 gallbladders in the area," Tompkins said. "I'm looking forward to serving the Portsmouth and southern Ohio community as I've done in Ashland. King's Daughters Ohio is a wonderful facility. The staff is excellent."

A Kentucky native, Dr. Tompkins earned his medical degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 1992. He completed his residency in general surgery at the University of South Florida in Tampa in 1997. He is board certified by the American College of Surgeons for General Surgery.
