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.

Very thorough and receptive of concerns
I started seeing Dr. Hamler in 2020 for gender-affirming hormone therapy. In 2022-2023 I switched to Dr. Hamler as my family practice doctor as well. He's always very friendly and walks me to his office for a private one-on-one meeting to go over health concerns and medications. He's very down to earth, casual, and easy to talk to about any concerns. He is very thorough with testing and will order multiple tests just to 'cover all bases' and get answers. I always feel welcome and respected in his office and don't see myself switching anytime soon.

Dr. HAMLIN is top of the line for my medical needs. He is will to help me out when I need help or if he is not available he will point me in the right direction. He is by far the best PCP I have had since coming to use SUMMA physicians. He treats me like I matter.

My provider and his team are professional and conscientious. Dr. Hamler addressed my concern of a recent Cat scan test of my carotid arteries. He ordered an ultrasound that was more precise in its diagnostic results and this was done promptly.

I've been seeing Dr. Scott T. Hammler for about 4 years. He has always been my favorite provider because not only is he incredibly helpful and caring, but he is also friendly, easy to talk to, understanding, kind, patient, educated and overall wonderful. Not to mention how amazing and kind all of his nurses are as well. I always have a great experience where I feel comfortable and free to laugh about personal things.

Dr. Hamler listens to your health issues. Not heard but actually listens. He leaves nothing to chance and makes referrals to ensure all possibilities of cause are investigated. I like his style of doctoring that is both caring and authentic. He is very knowledgeable regarding medicine and how to treat patients. I trust his judgement impeccably.

He was very kind and addressed my concerns I had questions the next morning and he answered them. My daughter made a suggestion about removing rings on the impacted side. It was clear that he thought about it and he called back to thank her. That was totally unexpected and appreciated
