Dr John was amazing with my 7 year old that was a little nervous for the first eye doctor appointment ever
very professional and friendly I would definitely recommend him
I truly appreciated this doctor’s professionalism, kindness, and respect for parental decisions. I brought my daughter in for a basic eye examination and preferred to decline certain eye drops. Although there was some initial pushback from the technician, the doctor was incredibly understanding and graciously respected my wishes without hesitation. It was refreshing to encounter a physician who listens to parents, respects their concerns, and recognizes the importance of shared decision-making Highly recommend
Dr. Hammersmith was very professional and thorough in his examination of my grandson‘s eyes. He explained everything very well and made my grandson comfortable in making his final choice to actually start wearing glasses.
