Excellent people skills. Really cares about the patient.
I started seeing Dr. Hammer in February and he's really helped me a lot with my sinus problem. I will see him again next year for a follow up.
Very positive visit. Dr. Hammer was thorough and informative
Dr Hammer was very aloof and did not take time to properly address my concerns. The worst experience I have had with any doctor in my life. I will never go back to Dr Hammer.
Very caring and listens well.
His help on my hearing has led me to be able to teach another five years, and increase my retirement and social security.
Very knowledgeable. To the point . And on time!!
Dr. Hammer is one of the most professional doctors I’ve had. Very thorough and answers your questions in a non rushed style that makes you feel like he really cares about your well being. My surgery experience with him and his team was identical. A lot of others could learn a lot from him and his superior practices. Thank you doc. You are truly appreciated.
Seems very rushed and become annoyed and impatient, when I tried to describe the medical issues I was experiencing. I wasn't able to ask any questions. When he would ask a question, he wouldn't even let me fully answer before he would interrupt me. I'm still experiencing the same issue. But I will be making an appointment with a different doctor and hopefully I will get some treatment and answers. Now the doctor that issues the hearing test was wonderful, very friendly and polite.. they're the only reason I put down two stars
Could not compare last years hearing test to this years hearing test.
