Dr Thayer is excellent at explaining his process and plan and very patient with my questions. He took time to address all of my questions and concerns and never made me feel rushed. He was not dismissive or patronizing about any question and treated me like my questions were as important to him as to me.

Dr. Thayer understood me and we were able to cut to the chase on the crux of three areas of concern and what next steps would be for surgery two: a bothersome mass in my right buttocks which he called a fatty necrosis and the now encapsulated MLL on my right hip.
