I have been in total all of Dr. Thayer from my first appointment. He is one of the most caring doctors I've ever met in my life. I actually feel like he really cares about the patient. He's always prompt,has a smile on his face,he is extremely thorough in explaining processes to consider. He has never made me feel like I am a bother and I feel he listens. I had no reservations going into surgery with him being my surgeon. I knew I was in good hands and he went above and beyond.
