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.

Dr. Hamilton is superb.
Dr. Hamilton saw me for severe arthritis in my right shoulder AC joint. He did arthroscopic surgery on the shoulder a few months later, in August of 2019. . It involved 5 separate procedures.Having followed my postop. PT regimen scrupulously, I recovered quickly.In the last 5 years I have had absolutely no pain or stiffness, and I have complete range of motion in that joint.He is personable, takes his time, answers all questions, and is a terrific surgeon. I do not hesitate to recommend him to others, and would see him again in a minute if I developed another orthopedic problem.

Generally very good. It is difficult to schedule timely visits because he has a busy schedule. He/his team is very good at responding to Messages.
