Jake Thayer, MD

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!

Hey all! I am 2 weeks post-op from my Implant Revision With Dr. Thayer and his team and I could not be happier. He has magic powers I swear! Throughout the entire process I felt so supported and special. Mandy, Maggie, and Dr. Thayer were so attentive and helpful leading up to surgery and after. Thank you! My first set of implants were placed in 2013. After 3 children, I had lost all volume and really disliked how my breast looked in shirts. I also have a wide sternum and they began to fall into my armpits. We decided to go with 450 CC motiva implants & use internal mesh to support them and push them inwards. Guys - I never thought my breasts would ever be this close together! So much more fullness at the top and middle and yet, they still match my frame. I’m 5’5”, 115lbs. I have more before photos on my previous review in my profile.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Thayer and his incredible team. From start to finish, my tummy tuck experience was flawless.. From my very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Thayer took the time to listen to my goals, answer every question, and explain the entire process in a way that made me feel confident and informed. He has an exceptional eye for detail and delivered results that far exceeded my expectations—my stomach looks better than it ever has, and I feel like a new person. The entire team is just as amazing. The nurses, office staff, and surgical team were kind, attentive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire journey. They made me feel cared for, respected, and genuinely valued as a patient. If you’re considering a tummy tuck or any cosmetic procedure, I cannot recommend Dr. Thayer and his team highly enough. This experience was truly life-changing, and I’m so grateful to have trusted such an exceptional surgeon and staff. Thank you, Dr. Thayer—you are simply the best!

Dr. Thayer did a wonderful job and his staff are so friendly and accommodating. They were great at answering all of the questions I had before and after treatment. I was back to work in a week and feeling great.

Words cannot even begin to describe the experience I had with Dr. Thayer and his staff. All I can say it was absolutely amazing. Dr. Thayer, Maggie and Mandy made my breast augmentation surgery seamless and worry free. They all care so much for their patients, listen and understand your surgical goals. I couldn’t be more happy with my results 3 months post-op and would highly recommend anyone to see Dr. Thayer and his staff. Thank you all so much for bringing back my confidence.
