Excellent care.
Professional, friendly, listened to my concerns and addressed them. I walked away feeling I was the most important person to him at my visit.
Short wait and everyone was very nice and helpful. Dr. Hammersmith has great crew. He was great at answering all my questions.
Normally I see Dr. Cotter, however after seeing Dr H, I felt he was more friendly, approachable, and took the time to explain my eye situation more completely as well as explain alternatives i could consider. I never felt that informed and given any alternatives with Dr. Cotter. If given the opportunity i think i'd like to switch to Dr.Hammersmith!
