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.

Needs a reality check
If you question or he feels you’re pushing back he will absolutely shut down and leave the room. Not professional at all. My child was sick and we saw an urgent care and followed up with him 3-4 days later since my child wasn’t feeling better. This man went on how we shouldn’t take our child to urgent care and after calling the urgent care for previous results he refused to believe them and treat our child. We went back to the urgent care the same day after leaving his office and got the treatment my child needed to get better… and he did. We never went back. He doesn’t need to “treat all patients the same.”, and get some therapy to remove bias to effectively operate as a physician.

I have never seen a doctor that's so disrespectful in my life and the level of care is terrible he doesn't even touch his patients I don't recommend my dead dog to see him no wonder he is always available with lack of patients

One of the best doctors our there!! I had to move away from TN and have yet to find a doctor to match Dr Hamilton. Really took time out with my children with diagnosing them and ensuring they received proper care. Office staff is awesome and was always helpful.
