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.

Great ophthalmologist with a great staff
Dr. Hamaker and his staff are the best. I have full trust in them that I am getting the best eye care as part of my diabetic management team.

Thorough exam
Dr. Hammaker explained my situation very thoroughly, suggesting specific colored lenses and specific reading glasses to assist in my ability to read the printed word. He told me, that due to my specific diagnosis, bifocal glasses may not work for me.

Good experience
Dr. Hamaker was very thorough and he offered information and details as my visit progressed. He provided answers to all my questions, and not just answers but WHY he answered as he did. He took quite a bit of time with me and it was a pleasure not to be rushed out of the office. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Hamaker to my family and friends.
