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.

She is fantastic!!

Dr. Hamming does great work and gives great direction. She even took the time to look into why ear drops my daughter used for3 days cost $93 and found me an alternative at $9.

Staff Is very pleasant. My six year old daughter really liked Dr. Hamming before and afternoon her nose ( which was continually bleeding ) was cauterized. My daughter is so happy her nose doesn’t bleed anymore. Very impressed with every part of our visit. When we were leaving the office, my daughter said “Mommy she was one of the nicest Doctors I ever met” Dr. Hamming is a definite 5 star!

She was much more than your typical doctor. She came to talk to me after my little guys procedure and sat there like she had all the time in the world. She brought pictures AND wrote explanations on each picture. I wish we lived closer (we live 2 hrs away) so I could recommend her to everyone I know!

No wait. Clean facility. Dr. Hamming was sweet with my little one, attentive and knowledgeable! We got exactly what we needed and were in and out (but not rushed - she was thorough to make sure we were taken care of). My daughter felt comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend Dr. Hamming!

Recently had a follow up visit for my daughter for a typanoplasty performed by Dr. Hamming in September. Dr. Hamming is always very attentive during our office visits. She explains things thoroughly and ensures we understand and does not rush us. She also makes sure our questions are answered. I am highly satisfied with her level of care of my daughter and recommend her without hesitation.
