I'm writing this in 2025, and I still have diagnosed PTSD flashbacks to this man's treatment of me at Mt Sinai in 1989. He was completely unable to solve a post-op infection that had developed in the hospital, and was becoming increasingly frustrated, and started taking his frustration out on me. After a couple of weeks of this, I asked to have him taken off my case, and requested his partner instead (who was lovely, and went on to innovate a solution that saved my life). After being told I had asked to have him removed from... read more

He saved my life after going into septic shock from an epidural injection. I was so fortunate to have him treat me!

He is a superb physician. He will not help create antibiotic resistant bugs by arbitrarily prescribing unnecessary antibiotics and does not suffer fools easily. If he has your profile, he will phone in necessary prescriptions to pharmacies without charging you. If you call or write with questions, he has never failed to call back with a consultation and no charge. He stays well up on current infectious diseases and won't pander to self medicating know-it-alls.

I was extremely unnerved at having no choice but to deal with this evil mean nasty man 3 times. Although he holds himself out to be an infectious disease specialist, he gloats at the opportunity to NOT prescribe antibiotics or discontinue ones that are being used. I believe that his uncaring “care” caused me 2 additional hospitalizations and another amputation. Other doctors were amazed to heat

Doctor came in he basically said "Why are you here" in an accusatory tone. I had been diagnosed with a bacteria overgrowth by another doctor She told me to get antibiotics. It's not the fact that he didn't think he should be treating me for this bacteria. He said to me "You don't look depressed" and didn't know what a paleo diet was. Last time I checked diet is a big part of gut health so to not know a popular diet speaks volumes. I felt like my concerns had been completely dismissed.

Very intuitive and wise and very experienced. He leaves no stone unturned and tells you what you need to hear because he cares about you. Very meticulous and detailed and just knows what medicines best suit my infections. It it wasn't for his dedication I wouldn't be here. You don't know him unless you are his patient. He is a physian and a true scientist. Love him as my Infectious Doctor...

I think Dr. Hammer has a very nice bedside manner and is the Dr. that does not just prescribe antibiotics if you are having a cold. He is good that way. He will take the time to carefully listen to you and explain course of action in a very nice/professional way. He is patient and he calls you to go over your lab results and his team is very nice as well. I see him as my PCP and I am very pleased.
