Dr Hammer is awesome! He is very good at diagnosing your ENT issue, very thorough explaining the reason (s) for your symptoms, and explains the technical treatment options in ways you can understand. 5 stars for sure!
He has been a blessing
Really liked him. He listen and explained everything
This office was very busy and impersonal. Nobody took the time to slow down and discuss my situation. It felt like being a piece of livestock herded for business cash, not personal care.
30 seconds to give me an incorrect diagnosis. Bad uncaring doctor.
Very friendly and helpful
Very personable, and professional!
Feel like you get what you pay for. I was pushed in an out without any formal acknowledgement of symptoms. Just do this and get out. Could have been more personal and receiving.
Very knowledgeable and pleasant experience
Dr. Hammer is exceptional. I’m less than a week out from surgery and still healing, but I could breathe better immediately afterward than I ever have—and it has continued to improve every day since. He clearly knows exactly what he’s doing and is a true master of his craft. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. 10/10, absolutely recommend.
