The reviews listed below were collected independently of Dickson Medical Associates through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
He was rude and he did not explain the whole procedure to me in the beginning before we started. I had never had it done. And he did not give me anything for the pain and he could have and he gave me NO OPTION. Very abrupt. NO bedside manner. Fist visit with Lacy was so wonderful and I expected the same with this Dr because I heard some good things. When the procedure was done, he didn't go into detail about what to expect for healing. He said sneeze with mouth open and don't blow my nose. Follow up in a month. That's it. Literally. I had to GOOGLE what to do and expect.

Dr. Hammer listens to you, answers questions, and takes really detailed notes that he puts in your chart. He discusses best options for treatment so you can make informed choices.
