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.

Inguinal hernia
Attentive staff , Dr. Hamamji has great bedside manner very caring and informational.I visited with 2 other surgeons no one built confidence in the procedure as he did. Procedure was exactly as described ,very little discomfort the first day which became better every day . Within 2-3 days I was discomfort free back to a limited schedule until the follow up 2 weeks later. Went back to full schedule including gym and work at a month. I would recommend Dr. Hamamaji without hesitation .

Incompetent. Lazy. Unprofessional. Arrogant. RealPOS. This doctor is something else. I needed surgery and he just be blind because he didn’t see the problem in my CAT scan. Sits me down and says “If there is nothing to fix, I can’t fix anything”. He walked into the appointment with his kind made up he wasn’t going to help me. He wouldn’t refer me to anyone or give me any advice. He’s lucky I didn’t smack him right there.

Went in due to being referred by the ER hospital I went to . He spent maybe 5 mins with me . He didn’t really explain anything, was just like meh if you want to have it removed it’s all up to you. But the reason I came in is because I’m not the expert I was expecting someone to take the time and explain things to me. I decided not to schedule my gallbladder removal. I think I found more info online than him taking the time to explain my situation to me.

After a visit to the ER for severe abdominal pain, Dr. Hamamji performed a laparoscopic appendectomy on me the very next morning. He was precise, and had an excellent bedside manner. The scares are minimal and he was very easy to work with
