Dr. Christopher Hamilton, MD

Dr. Hamilton explains things well and he makes sure you understand what is going to happen. He is very courteous and motivating. His staff is top drawer. All in his office are excellent communicators.

The daily messages that Dr. Hamilton sends through his GetWell Loop or SCOI website are one way of keeping on top of the various stages of pre- and post-surgery. Some of these reminders include: pick up medication prior to surgery, scheduling physical therapy, home exercises, and indications of a more serious medical condition (blood clots). I like having this checklist which included reminders of upcoming appointments.

I have been seeing Dr.Hamilton for at least 30 yrs beginning with my son who is now a grown man with his own family. The trust I have in Dr. Hamilton and SCOI is beyond measure. I will always choose Dr. Hamilton and SCOI for all orthopedic needs.

Very helpful and informative staff. Friendly, caring, prompt. Dr. Hamilton and his P.A. Andy rock!

Surgery is not fun! Dr Hamilton and his team-work together as a safety net for the patient. His team is always compassionate and supportive they make you feel as if you are a favorite family member. Whatever you need, they are just a text away. This rotator cuff repair was made easier because of this wonderful healthcare team! Thanks

Had my first visit with Andy, and it was great! Right to the point.

Dr. Hamilton was very professional but also very down to Earth and cordial. He listened to all my concerns and explained everything clearly. Definitely a positive experience.

One of the primary requirements of a good physician, beyond their medical expertise, is their bedside manner, and their concern for not only their patient’s care but that of the patient’s family. Dr. Hamilton exemplifies excellent bedside manner which amplifies his expertise as a surgeon and medical professional.

Very informative

Dr Hamilton and his staff will assure you and your family everything will go well. I like the daily reminders to check in on the website as to what to look out for and exercises after your surgery. Other doctors just tell you everything at once and you tend to forgot. Tots great experience.

Dr. H is very nice. He explained what he was gonna do to shoulder. After surgery, he went thru each picture of my procedure & told me what he did.

Dr. and staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and are very attentive to the patients needs. I’ve had both rotator cuffs repaired, both have been successful.

Dr. Hamilton repaired my left rotator cuff maybe 8 years ago and when re-injured it I fought with my insurance to get in to him. The whole process from the time of the injury until surgery took 7 months. I was mentally prepared for this time to be very rough. It had relatively little pain, only used a constant ice machine and ibuprofen for the first 5 days post surgery. 2 weeks out and my shoulder feels more secure at this point than before my initial injury in October. Also this was so much less painful than what I was expecting compared to my previous 2 rotator cuff repairs and this procedure was a lot more extensive.

Very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything. Very thorough in post surgery instructions and what I can and cannot do.

Dr. Hamilton and his team listen and address all your concerns. They set up an action plan and give you options. They do not pressure you into decisions you aren't ready to make, but they make sure you have all the information you need to make decisions along the way. .

From the staff to Dr. Hamilton himself: Kind. Responsive. Competent. Thorough. Felt like a team approach from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

Dr. Hamilton explained my procedure and was amenable to answering related inquires regarding my procedure.

Christopher and Andrew were very polite and informative during pre surgery consultation.

Expert in what he does, he fully explained the disease process and treatment plan to his patients’ understanding. Very professional, cordial, respectful. Yes I would recommend him anytime.

Dr. Hamilton doesn’t sugar coat things. He is straight forward. He told me what to expect. He explained ways I could make my recovery quicker and less painful, and he is extremely professional.
