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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hammerich for the past 5 years and see him annually for a check in. He and his staff is always friendly and helpful with changes in insurance, stores that fill prescriptions, and any medical information that needs to be updated. They are always on top of appointment changes as well and notify me in plenty of time. From check in to check out this group of professionals always provides exemplary service.

Being a patient of Dr. Hammerich for several years, most current visit was to review test results. Though Dr. H. was heavily scheduled he took time to fully evaluate and explain my test results, recommending only long term follow-up.Highly recommend

He's very professional. The only thing that I didn't like was that I waited in the room more than 20 minutes. He said sorry to me for that.

Clueless.
This doctor seems to be more interested in collecting money than treating his patients. A pre op exam resulted in his asking if I had any questions - no exam! A scheduled injection resulted in his scheduling another appointment - but no injection! He did, however, collect full payment for each of these scheduled visits, even though he did NOTHING!! Office staff, also, is not very efficient! Obviously he is no longer my doctor!!!

There are no words to describe how amazing Dr Kai is. Not only is he an amazing Dr but he is kind, caring and very personable. I felt completely secure with him handling my problem. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank God he is in Bristol. He is a huge asset to the Bristol Hospital Team. Thanks again Dr Kai.
