Met Dr. Back in 1999 and stuck with him through it all. I'm now 42 and still would say he has been outstanding . Thanks Doc for all those years of caring. Maria

When my primary doctor diagnosed kidney disease he recommended Dr. Hamner. It took me a few weeks to get an appointment, but have had a very great relationship with Dr Hamner. He changed a blood pressure medication that I was taking and I have gone from stage 4 kidney failure to stage 2. He is a wonderful, caring man, and I would/and have recommended him to anyone that asked me about a good nephrologist. I would wait any amount of time to see this amazing Doctor.

This doctor took 3 minutes to tell us that my mother was going to die. He then told us to get over it and turned and walked off. He is an embarrassment to the medical profession.

I took my mother to her appointment and I found this doctor to be very uncaring and rude. We have found another physician for her that we both like much better.

Have been his patient for over 5 years. He's top notch in every way. Takes all time necessary to explain test results.

This doctor is terrible. You should never take yourself or a family member to see this doctor. He has misdiagnosed my mother's problem and she is now on dialysis for the rest of her life. Do not go to see this doctor!
