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.
Very good first meeting
So very personable and knowledgeable
One of the first times I didn’t feel rushed in a sports injury appointment. Smart, thorough, inquisitive, kind.
Very friendly and explained very well about injury.
