Jake Thayer, MD

I recently had a tummy tuck with lipo and a breast lift. I'm a middle aged mom with sagging everywhere you'd expect, even though I've done the work and take care of my body. I was hesitant to go see a surgeon - these types of issues are very personal and having a stranger look at your worst features feels vulnerable. All I can say is- DO IT!!! You will not be disappointed. Dr. Thayer was the kindest, most laid back doctor I have ever met. His "bedside manner" is amazing and makes you feel completely relaxed and confident. My surgery turned out better than I ever expected and I look and feel incredible again for the first time in 20 years. I can't believe I waited this long to do it. The follow up in the months afterwards is thorough and Dr Thayer also surrounds himself with an amazing care team that makes you feel seen and heard. 20/10 recommend.

My results are better than I imagined and look so natural, exactly what I hoped for. I feel more confident in my skin and truly wish I had done this sooner. This has been the best investment in myself, and I am so grateful I chose Dr. Thayer. I cannot recommend him and his team enough. Dr. Thayer made the entire process so comfortable. He is incredibly kind, and his team is just as wonderful. Every question was answered with patience and care, and I felt supported and confident every step of the way.

After seeing five plastic surgeons for consultation, Dr. Thayer and his team at Quintessa were by far the best place to be. Dr. Thayer has an amazing balance of being a professional plastic surgeon while also being able to talk to you in a way that you’ll understand. The price was also fair and reasonable when compared to my other quotes. I’m a healthy and rather fit middle aged male and have had puffy nipples my entire life which is referred to as gynecomastia. My skin around the nipples protruded out slightly and the nipples were puffy rather than lying flat. This led to looking unfit in a lot of clothing despite being rather fit. It’s also not the most appealing with a shirt off. During surgery, an incision is made at the bottom half of the nipple line to remove the glandular tissue to allow the chest/nipples to lay flat. The entire process from consultation through post surgery follow up was made so simple for me. I’m several weeks out post surgery and so happy with the result. No more protruding skin or puffy nipples. If you’re a male and not happy with the look of your chest/nipples, go see Dr. Thayer!!

As a medical provider, I have a unique perspective on the standards of care and professionalism expected in the healthcare field. I am highly selective about the providers I trust with my own care, and I hold other medical providers to the highest standards regarding skill, safety, and patient-centered care. My experience with Dr. Thayer for my breast augmentation was truly exemplary. From the initial consultation through the postoperative period, Dr. Thayer demonstrated a level of expertise and attention to detail that immediately set him apart. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer all of my questions, and ensure that I felt comfortable and informed at every step. Dr. Thayer’s surgical skill is evident not only in my excellent results but also in his commitment to patient safety and optimal outcomes. His approach is meticulous, and he clearly prioritizes the well-being of his patients above all else. I was particularly impressed by his bedside manner—he is approachable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in his patients’ satisfaction and recovery. It is clear to me that Dr. Thayer is not in this field simply for financial gain; he is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and achieving the best possible results for his patients. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Thayer to others seeking surgical care, and I would confidently return to him for any future procedures.

I am 75 and was hesitant to have a tummy tuck but it turned out great! Dr Thayer was reassuring and I have enjoyed every visit with him. Also I was impressed with the surgical center. I will definitely recommend Dr Thayer to anyone who wants to have a cosmetic procedure.

I went to Dr. Thayer for a neck lift and upper blepharoplasty, and let me tell you—this was less ‘surgery’ and more ‘witnessing sorcery.’ Beforehand, my neck and eyelids had clearly been conspiring with gravity to make me look perpetually exhausted and a little older than my driver’s license suggests. Now? My jawline could cut glass, and my eyes can actually see it happen. From the first consultation, Dr. Thayer combined the precision of a world-class surgeon with the calm reassurance of someone who knows exactly how to keep you at ease. Maggie and Mandy were amazing every step of the way—kind, patient, and absolute pros at calming down a nervous mess like me. They answered every question (including the slightly unhinged ones), prepped me perfectly, and never once made me feel silly for asking. If you’re on the fence, take this as your glowing sign: Dr. Thayer doesn’t just lift skin—he lifts spirits, confidence, and maybe even your entire social life. Five stars, two thumbs up, and one very grateful (and newly snatched) patient.

I had upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) with Dr. Thayer at Quintessa about three months ago, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. My drooping lids were genetic and always made me look tired — this was something I had been self-conscious about for years. This was my first cosmetic procedure, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr. Thayer is an incredibly talented surgeon — my stitches healed beautifully and are barely visible — and he has a warm, calming presence that made me feel so supported. He genuinely listens and makes you feel like you’re in the best hands. The entire team was fantastic. Maggie, the patient coordinator, handled all the logistics and answered every one of my pre-op questions quickly and thoroughly. Mandy and Dr. Thayer made the day of surgery feel calm and easy, and recovery went even better than I expected. I had prepared for two weeks of downtime, but I was out to dinner with makeup on within five days, and thrilled to get my stitches out that Friday. Now, I feel refreshed, more confident, and still completely like myself — just a more awake version. I would 100% recommend Dr. Thayer and the team at Quintessa to anyone considering this procedure. It’s a relatively minor surgery with a major impact.

Dr Thayer and his whole team are actually awesome people. Dr. Thayer did my labiaplasty and the results blew my mind. I was initially afraid the surgery would be awkward, but Mandy, Maggie, and Dr. Thayer made it so easy to be excited instead of nervous or insecure. The whole process was not weird at any point! The team is there for you every step of the way, and they don’t feel like strangers. I was so excited for this surgery, and it was everything I hoped. Thanks for everything Dr. Thayer, Mandy, and Maggie!!!

I recently had a breast lift with GalaFLEX mesh performed by Dr. Thayer, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From my initial consultation through every post-op visit, Dr. Thayer and the entire Quintessa team were professional, compassionate, and truly attentive to my needs. Dr. Thayer took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and explained the entire process in detail, which made me feel confident and fully informed every step of the way. The results have far exceeded my expectations—my breasts look natural, lifted, and beautifully proportioned. I finally feel like myself again, and I’m beyond grateful for the care and expertise that went into achieving this transformation. If you’re considering plastic surgery, I totally recommend Dr. Thayer. His surgical skill, attention to detail, and warm bedside manner truly set him apart. He’s also backed by an incredible team, including his wonderful surgical coordinator, Maggie, and his amazing surgical tech, Mandy. Together, they are the dream team of plastic surgery!

I had a breast lift and augmentation with Dr. Thayer and team in March 2025 and can't express enough how pleased I am with not only my results but my experience! After 3 children and weight loss, I lost a lot of confidence. Dr. Thayer helped restore that, and I couldn't thank him enough. They are very helpful through the whole process & are there for every question/concern you may have. Can't go wrong with choosing Quintessa!
