Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Thayer, From the minute I met him helped ease me into the what was going on and was 100% fully transparent and helped me understand the procedure that we were about to go through. On sept 17th i fractured my cheek bone and I have never fractured a bone in my face.. so you can imagine I was very worried. Dr. Thayer's professional skills helped put my bones back together and his ability to walk me through the post procedure and follows ups have been extremely helpful...

I had a major nightmare situation going on in my mouth, caused by fentanyl lollipops, and was fortunate to find Dr Thayer! He took care of my oral problems with great care and skill! He cared about me, and about my follow-up care, connecting me with another specialist to help me after i heal from this major surgery. I highly recomend this skillful, caring Dr!

Dr Thayer was very professional and made aperfect diagnosis. He spent alot of time explaining my special situation and was very helpful in my making the right decision for surgery. Of most importance was his dilligence in performing the surgery and making sure that I had the best people for anesthesia services. Thank you Dr. Thayer

Dr. Thayer is one of the nicest doctor's I've ever come across. His knowledge and understanding is so beyond anything I expected. He really explained everything to me in such detail. His ability to show he really cares about each patient was so refreshing. His thoroughness, compassion and knowledge is the reason I write this and will always refer him as long as I'm in the same area.
