Dr. Melinda Thacker, MD

She is awesome. I couldn’t smell for five years or breathe right. She operated on me last week and I can smell and breathe so much better. The whole experience from start to finish was painless and fast. I would highly recommend Dr Thacker! Thank you Dr Thacker

Very happy I found Dr. Thacker and that she found the cancerous lesion hiding in my nasal cavity during an examination for a deviated septum. Everything turned out for the best thanks to her knowledge, skills and surgical treatment. I'm physically breathing easier with the septum fix and figuratively breathing easier knowing she skillfully removed the lesion and applied a graft with zero complications. I found her to be very personable and never felt rushed during any of my appointments. She explained everything great and told me what to expect during and after. Easiest review I've ever given.

I had been sick for 6 months! 8 doctors, 2 emergency room visits, one hospital stay,$1,000 in medication (with insurance) 6 different antibiotics, 5 rounds of steroids and she figured it out within five minutes of my appointment with her! She is confident, kind and above all knowledgeable! I am forever in her debt!!! I will never be able to thank her enough!

I saw Dr. Thacker after getting no relief from sinus problems for more than 6 mos. I drove 54 miles rather than deal with the major ENT doctors in Springfield. I had a sinus infection and was a mess. Dr. Thacker listened to my concerns and put me onn a couple of meds. She is definitely worth the ride.

Went to Dr Thacker with major nose issues. I left with no problems. She is amazing. Cannot say enough about her. I can say in my opinion, the best. Thank you Dr Thacker.

I initially went to Dr. Thacker to discuss my persistent problems with sinus polyps that were blocking my air passages. After a thorough consult, she suggested surgery to remove the polyps and correct a deviated septum. I had the surgery on 01/02/20, and needless to say, am very pleased with the results! I can now actually smell after 8 years. And can really taste my food! Above all, I can breathe without any obstruction! I have had 3 prior surgeries and none have been as effective as the 4th under Dr. Thacker! She really goes over the Cat Scan and identifies ALL areas the require correction. And then follows through in the operating room. I highly recommend her to anyone considering sinus correction surgery. Thanks so much Dr. Thacker for greatly enhancing my quality of life!

I went to Dr Thacker after having blockage and congestion in my sinuses for over 6 months. I did the CT scan she recommended and looked at it in her office with her. She pointed out where my sinuses were blocked and that I had a deviated septum. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst she said I was a 9 with blockage. I had polyps and one especially blocking 99% of my left nostril. I had the choice of sinus surgery at the hospital under general anesthesia with multiple Dr's involved or do the surgery in-office. Dr Thacker said it would be like going to the dentist with in-office surgery. I don't go under with anesthesia unless i have no choice. Dr Thacker did an amazing job clearing my sinuses and fixing my deviated septum. There was little discomfort and the next day no pain. I have never been so pampered and taken care of as I was before and after surgery by Dr Thacker and the entire staff. I will never forget that!

I first went to Dr. Thacker for what I had been told would be sinus surgery. She believed my condition was autoimmune related and surgery would not fix my problem. She was 100% correct and thanks to her ability to look at the entire person (and not just one anatomy part of that individual) I was given a new lease on life! My condition is improving and I am on the road to complete recovery without sinus surgery.

After years of constant sinus infections. Hundreds of doctors visits with several different doctors and being left feeling like I was crazy. I was finally referred to Dr. Thacker. Dr. Thacker listened to me and took the time to help me figure out what was going on. After 6+ years of pain Dr. Thacker figured out that I had a primary immune disease. She is an amazing doctor!

Dr. Thacker is an amazing doctor who helped me out with a diagnoses, and intervention after so many years of suffering from sinus and ear infections. If it wasn’t for Dr.Thacker I would of never found a way to deal with my reoccurring infections. I can’t thank Dr.Thacker enough for all of her help.

Dr. Thacker is tops in her field! She is very thorough. Well worth the trip to Worcester!

Dr. Thacker is timely and thorough in addressing medical concerns. I had a balloon sinulplasty procedure done by her and she explained the procedure thoroughly before implementation. The office checks up on me after visitation to ensure that I am feeling better and that no other concerns have arisen. Dr. Thacker noticeably keeps current with research in topics related to otolaryngology and provides alternative medicinal options as well as traditional ones.

Dr. Thacker is an amazing Doctor. Very knowledgeable, helpful and kind! This team made an uncomfortable procedure go so smoothly, and as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend this Dr. and staff.
