Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Strangulated Hernia
Dr. Hammond performed emergency surgery on my strangulated hernia. He explained why the procedure was needed, and what to expect. The incision was well done. His bedside manners showed concern, respect, and compassion. My experience with him and the surgical team was great.

Dr Hammond is excellent! He performed a DaVinci robotic colon resection on me in September 2019. The attention to prevention of infection is top notch. The explanation of the procedure was easy to understand and went as described. The recovery was much easier than an “open” surgery (much less pain and faster recovery time overall). I cannot overstate how good my overall experience was! Please consider Dr. Hammond when considering any general surgery. He has excellent bedside manner and is a caring, concerned surgeon. I think you’ll be happy if you choose Dr. Hammond.

Dr. Hammond performed PPH surgery on me in 2015. Prior to my surgery, I was suffering from a lot of pain, discomfort, and minor fluid leakage throughout the day. As a result of the surgery, my quality of life has improved dramatically. I recovered very quickly after the surgery. In fact, I stopped taking the prescribed pain medication after four days. As a patient who underwent PPH surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Hammond.
