I found Dr Hamilton to be impersonal and the lack of eye contact during my visit was very disconcerting.
He explained the details of surgery and options. He wanted my input about it also and took time for me to ask questions.
THE BEST!!
Very thorough and explained it all very well. Understands the nuances of sports related injuries and the athletes desire to play needs to be balanced by the need to heal properly.
He listens to the patient and considers their input and answers patients questions and connects the patient to any needed specialists and or physical therapy.
Dr Hamilton is truly the best doctor I have had deal with my foot problems since I moved to Kentucky Seven years ago. He is friendly attentive and addresses your concerns and makes you feel it will give you the time and consideration that you need.
Taylor is wonderful! Her bedside manner is great. She is so kind and considerate! I really enjoy her as a PA.
Because Dr. Hamilton operated on both my mother and my daughter, I knew he was my choice when I severely fractured my foot in four places. I wouldn’t trust anyone else for the invasive surgery that lies ahead. Dr. Hamilton is a straight shooter, and I’m never left with questions. I recommend Dr. H. tremendously!
Great visit
While I think Doctor Hamilton cares for me as a patient, there might be too many patients on his caseload or some bedside manner to be developed. Every time I have an appointment with him, it seems he's not reviewed notes on my case as I have to remind him of my injury, what he's suggested/said in the past, or even ask for resources/specific questions about surgery/healing, etc that I've discovered in personal research. He'll often share what the next step could be and stands to leave before I can even ask questions or get more information. One of my appointments chiefly took place outside my designated room at the doctor/nurse station computer where he was trying to show me an xray for another patient (he couldn't and wasn't all the information I could see while he was scrolling a HIPPA violation?) before he basically stood, asked if I had any questions but caveated it with he was late for a surgery.
