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.

Port in a storm
Dr Thayer was willing to take me as an add on at the end of the day, and she did not even know me! I needed to be looked at, and she was willing to do that after walking in the office unannounced. Gave me information I had never heard before. Staff was pleasant and so was she.

Never again.
Dr Thaler never washed her hands or used hand sanitizer. A “full body skin check” took her less than five minutes despite my history of skin cancer. She referred to other dermatologists as “stupid”. Very unprofessional.

Dr Thaler did not explain what the drug was called, side effects or options. Gave no time to me whatsoever. Very disappointed. Won't be going back again

My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Thayer. We have 100% confidence in her medical knowledge, judgment and surgical expertise. She will seek a 2ND opinion on a questionable biopsy result, for which we will be forever grateful. Her staff is friendly, kind and very competent. The office is clean and comfortable with enjoyable and relaxing music. We feel fortunate to have DR. Thayer in Sturgeon Bay.

Poor communication between MDs and staff; endless advertising loop recording while you're on hold, in excess of twelve minutes; poor diagnostics and treatment; poor billing practices.

This woman is amazing. High energy, high smarts, high sense of humor. (Describes herself as "zany.) She IS. No diddling with needless and endless referrals and time delays with future appointments -- she cuts to the chase and takes care of business. She is wonderful.
