Extremely professional and informative, while maintaining a real caring and social demeanor.
Dr. Thacher provided an excellent diagnosis and showed me the X-rays, and presented a path towards a positive resolution. Appreciated his straightforward manner and focus on my particular situation.
Dr. Thacher was gracious. I didn’t feel rushed. Today some doctors rush clients along. I understood what he was saying. He advised me on what could be done in the future to alleviate pain and discomfort of my left knee.
En lo personal, lo recomiendo porque es muy bueno le explica claramente las cosas como son. Muy profesional.
Very professional, extremely competent, great listener and explains condition well.
Very nice and listen to my knee issue. And I now I am all set with treatment ..
Excellent on all levels. Listened and answered questions and offered many avenues we could try for treating my symptoms. Also fun to learn that we were both D1 NCAA College Tennis players!! Would reccomend him to everyone.
Very happy with Dr. Thatcher. We've come up with a good treatment plan for tackling two separate issues. He doesn't push for surgery.
Excellent Doctor and very caring!!
Great treatment and explanation of options and procedures.
