Summary

  • Dr. Jacob B. Thatcher completed his urologic surgery residency at
    Jefferson Health. Originally from Rexburg, he offers world class care to his
    friends and family in Southeastern Idaho. He specializes in treating stone
    disease, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, benign prostatic hyperplasia
    (BPH), and male and female incontinence. He offers novel techniques in
    minimally invasive robotic surgery for benign and malignant conditions to
    promote quicker recovery.

    Jacob grew up on a potato farm. Prior to practicing urology, he was a
    missionary in Brazil and a river-guide on the Colorado River. He completed
    medical school in Washington State with an emphasis in Osteopathic
    Medicine and holistic care. In addition to medical school and residency, he

    Philippines.

    As a prior Fellow for the National Rural Health Association, Paul Ambrose
    Scholar, and a current distinguished Holtgrewe Legislative Fellow at the
    American Urological Association, Dr. Thatcher is a national leader in
    advocating for specialized urologic care in our rural communities. He most

    outdoors. He speaks fluent Portuguese and conversational Spanish.
