I want to thank Dr.Hamer- he was excellent when my husband was admitted for Covid in May 2020 . My husband was in ICU on a ventilator. Dr. Hamer called me everyday to let me know my husband’s health status. Out of the three MD’s that treated him he was the only one to take time out of his extremely busy schedule to notify me. He is very caring & never rushes & he explains & answrs all of our questions. Highly recommend Dr. Hamer!! I highly recommend him !!

Dr. Hamer was very knowledgeable. He put me at ease immediately. He treated me like I knew what I was talking about when speaking of my symptoms. He encouraged me and listened to what I had to say. I never minded waiting to see the doctor because I knew he saw/treated patients in the intensive care unit at several area hospitals. Those people needed his attention urgently and I would hope for the same treatment if I were the sicker patient.

Dr. Hamer provided me a professional medical evaluation for my claim against the Veterans Affairs. After a thorough review of my service medical records, civilian medical records and claims folder, Dr. Hamer provided an unbiased report that aided in the successful reward of my case. I found that Dr. Hamer's work-up to find out all of my pertinent issues was exceptional to say the least. I would recommend Dr. Hamer because of his professionalism and integrity.
