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.

Very thorough and professional. I felt no apprehension going into surgery with the pre-op discussion we had. Everything went just as planned and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!

Dr Hamby and his staff have been very courteous, understanding, and helpful. Dr Hamby operated on me and I am amazed at the minimal time spent in the hospital, the painless surgery and postoperative care. I would highly recommend Dr Hamby to everyone I know. Thank you Dr Hamby and staff.

Dr Hamby and his staff were very nice to me, helpful and honest. He explained my problems and was found another Doctor to help me out. I'm glad I was referred to this office.

At first I liked him when he was assigned to repair an injury to my leg in an emergency room, but at his office he was rude to me and so was one of his nurses. He once kept me waiting while he talked on a phone for 45 minutes-I could hear the conversation and it appeared to be personal. Dr. Hamby yelled at me when I questioned whether or not I needed a drain in my leg which I thought would lead to scarring and it has. Overall,when I think about it,I thought I was treated with contempt.
