had a colonoscopy and endoscopy performed by this physician, and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience.
I was extremely anxious beforehand, but from the moment he entered the room, he immediately put me at ease. He introduced himself warmly and spoke in a calm, reassuring manner. He took the time to ask about any fears or concerns I had and then addressed each one thoughtfully. I especially appreciated that he asked whether I preferred a basic or more detailed explanation and respected my preference.
He clearly explained the sedation process, emphasizing both comfort and safety, which helped me feel confident going into the procedure. True to his word, he followed through on everything he said. After the procedure, he waited until I was fully awake before coming back to speak with me, and he took the time to thoroughly explain his findings without making me feel rushed.
Before arriving, I had considered canceling due to anxiety, but he alleviated every concern I had.

Dr. C. Hammerle is an excellent physician. I typically feel more comfortable seeing female medical staff, but he quickly put me at ease with his professionalism, approachable personality, and genuine sense of humor.
I had some concerns going into my procedure due to an abnormal reaction to anesthesia during a prior experience. Dr. Hammerle and his team truly listened, addressed my concerns thoughtfully, and helped me feel confident moving forward.Everything went smoothly—my recovery was quick, I was lucid sooner than expected, my heart rate remained stable, and my friend may have been even more relieved than I was. 😅
I’m very grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Hammerle to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate physician.
