About

Dr. Daniel Thomas is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Chico, California. While his primary focus is cosmetic surgery, he draws on a diverse background including pain management, internal medicine, general surgery, and surgical oncology. Dr. Thomas believes a truly radiant appearance begins with internal hydration that then manifests externally. He aims for aesthetic results that do not look overdone, emphasizing that subtle tweaks can lead to a significant refresh. He offers procedures such as Breast Augmentation, Tummy Tuck, and BBL, alongside non-surgical treatments like Botox, Dermal Fillers, and IV Therapy. For skin care, he provides Diamond Glow Facials, which feature medical-grade exfoliation and HA5 serum infusion with zero downtime. Dr. Thomas also utilizes fractional laser treatments to even skin texture, minimize pores, and smooth lines with minimal downtime, describing it as a "reset button" for the skin. His non-surgical Photo Facial (IPL) addresses sun damage, age spots, and redness, rejuvenating skin with no downtime. For weight management, he offers Zepbound, explaining it as a prescription tool to jump-start progress when paired with support for lifestyle changes like high-protein nutrition and strength training, rather than a quick fix. He incorporates SkinMedica products and encourages patients to use their Alle account for benefits.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$3,052

Payments

27

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Daniel Thomas received $3,052 across 27 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
