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.

Unhappy with Neck Lift
The neck lift I had was less than satisfactory. Dr. Dena Thayer did my neck lift in 2023 and she did a revision of that neck lift in 2024. Still not happy with the results. I would never recommend her for any cosmetic work. Ever.

Dr. Thayer’s compassion and professionalism is making a big difference with my cancer battle. Her expertise gave me confidence at the time that everything seems scary and uncertain. I owe her a lifetime of gratitude.

I love Dr Thayer! I had a breast lift, breast augmentation, and tummy tuck with her last year, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I'm so glad I trusted her. I figured if she can reconstruct breasts where they're are no longer any, she could fix mine. And she did!

Dr. Thayer is beyond professional and talented. I saw her for a very tricky condition. When I had concerns she heard them fully and discussed all of my options with me. It is not often (unfortunately) that you find a Doctor who is so interested in your satisfaction. She and her practice are beyond ethical and considerate.
