He answered the questions that we had very detailed.
Listen to you and gives you options on your health. Wait time was not long to see the doctor.
I waited about a month and a half for an appointment that lasted 10 minutes. The whole thing felt rushed, and he essentially waived off my son’s snoring because he’s so young. I was told he’ll probably outgrow it. I told Dr. Hammer that I wanted to understand what was causing the snoring so that I could treat it, as his lack of sleep is negatively impacting his life, and he just stated that he didn’t see any physical obstructions and that maybe a nose spray would help. The whole experience was dismissive and rushed, and Dr. Hammer kept insisting that he wouldn’t perform surgery on my son(and I never asked for surgery and even stated that I wouldn’t agree to surgery anyway).
Very helpful in making the important decision regarding Inpire implantation.
He was very thorough and answered all my questions and I felt like I was very well cared for in my visit.
Great doctor to work with.
I've been seeing Dr. Hammer for about 18 months. I went in expecting to need some kind of surgery to correct my sinus issues. Instead, I was prescribed medication that has helped me tremendously and has eliminated the need for surgery. Thank you Dr Hammer!

Concise, to the point and business-like.
Very informative. Not rushed.
