He's the best of the best in my eyes. Amazing bedside manner, great at explanations for patients. He's very thorough and caring. If he could take care of all my problems, I'd go to him for anything. He said my brain was beautiful!

Meet Dr. Hammer upon admission to hospital for excruciating headache and extremely high blood pressure. He put me on BP medicine and a steroid. Felt better almost immediately. Thank you Dr. Hammer for your caring and a quick remedy to my condition. Would very highly recommend him.

Needed to find Neurologist and he was the only one I could find to see me soon because of headaches. I glad I did find him. Even though he was forty five minutes away I decided to see him. He did not disappoint me. He took his time to explain things and answered all questions. He put me on medication and a week after he called me at home. I was shocked because not to many doctors do that

Dr. Hammer treated my Mom over the past 14 years after she suffered a massive stroke and brain surgery. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and always remember us among his hundreds of patients. My Mom always looked forward to going for her follow up with Dr. Hammer. He was a complete Blessing to us.

He was the most amazing neurologist and figured out my MS in the first couple minutes of my visit

Told me that there was nothing structurally wrong with when in fact I really needed major neurosurgery. Refused to order an MRI. Label me as “ all in my head” but neurosurgeon said that I within an inch of being dead or in a wheelchair. Didn’t diagnose several other issues that a neurologist should have easily found. After having his diagnosis haunt me and follow me I finally found a brilliant neurologist who takes excellent care of me, but it took 8 yrs. The affects and trauma still cause pain.

I was expecting so much more compassion from this doctor. I was not there for any other reason other than being terrified. He made me leave in tears. Didn't listen. Assumed. And made me feel like it was all in my head. I have moved on with someone else that found my diagnosis. Thanks for nothing.
