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.

Had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Hammons for 2/22/22. After reading reviews about him, I called up and cancelled my appointment. I rescheduled my appointment with my regular doctor who was Dr. Meade for 2/23/22. I was willing to wait an extra day and go to a good doctor. Why have a doctor like this practice at your practice? Don't anyone read the reviews. I was afraid to go to Dr. Hammons.

Dismissive, outdated, no bedside manner, short, rude, and devoid of any reality finances for lower class workers. Came in for a covid test, and I indeed had it. I asked since I was here if he could refill my normal Rx that I take, and flat out told me no. Office visits costs me $200 and I got nothing out of it besides a positive covid test, which are free everywhere else. Avoid giving this man money.

In February, I went in with a 100+ fever, cough, headache, body aches, ear ache (etc.) Dr. Hammons was unprofessional, disrespectful, and seemed disengaged. He performed no physical assessment (i.e. assess ears, throat, lungs). Dr. Hammons provided a flu test but no strep test. The flu test came back "negative." He told me I either had a common cold or meningitis (?!). Dr. Hammons provided me no medication to address my symptoms. His only recommendation was to go to the ER if my fever or neck pain got worse. The next day, I went for a second opinion at the Little Clinic. I was tested positive for type B flu. After doing a physical assessment, the PA diagnosed me with a double ear infection AND early signs of pneumonia. Because I went for a second opinion the next day, the PA was able to prescribe me theraflu and decongestant. For your safety - please think twice before scheduling an appointment with Dr. Hammons.

He has been a most wonderful physician these past ten years, competent, knowledgeable, and thorough. I have never trusted a doctor more.

Dr. William Hammons is a horrible primary care physician. He is rude, dismissive and actually has no intent in managing your primary care. He will pawn you off on specialists at his first chance, and mysteriously not follow thru on the results. Do you know what they call the guy who graduated at the bottom of his class in medical school? “Doctor.” Do not trust your care, or the care of a loved one to this man.

I wouldn't recommend this doctor to a dying cockroach. I go in a see this joke of a doctor for a cold I've had for a month. He refuses to give me any meds what so ever he literally disregards how I'm feeling. I beg him for a z pack which he refuses. I leave wait 4 days and go to urgent care who gives me a breathing treatment and a z pack and they said I have a bad case of bronchitis. Thanks Hammons for waisting my money and not doing your job! And I felt better the next day! Horrible doctor!

Would recommend that no one see this Dr. Not only the worst Dr I've ever seen but very insensitive and judgmental. People like him should not even be able to be physician. His favorite quote is not my area and at that point you are referred out. Cannot believe st Elizabeth physicians would would damage their reputation with a man like this. I'm not one to insult but this Dr is definitely the exception to that rule rating 0- I give him a 1 because that is the lowest rating available
