Dr. Hamilton is always extremely positive and has the answers to all my questions which I greatly appreciate. She's just a wonderful person and I'm lucky to have her as my doctor.

Dr Hamilton was inconvenient. She seas enough as a person but she never put together my fathers referral to a new Dr and while he was waiting for the referral she never returned a phone call and when her nurse did she couldn’t answer any questions and said she would get back to us and never did. My dad died while he was waiting for his rehab referral from Dr Hamilton.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hamilton since around September 15, 2008 when I was transferred from ICU to BIR with tetraplegia as a result of West Nile Virus.She still cares for me 8 years later due to multiple complications. I have had 2 more stints in BIR as a result of nasty falls due to my chronic balance problems and because Dr. Hamilton knows me so well, she has ensured that I was assigned compatible in-patient/out-patient PT, OT, Speech, and other ancillary health care providers.

Dr. Hamilton was my Dr. At BIR from May to July. She was and is a very caring doctor. She listens and visits with patience to determine how to take care of the individual. Still seeing her once a year, alway a good visit.
